Ranieri: "I don't give up"
"I'm pleased with my Inter's performance against the most in-form team in the league." Unfortunately we played, while they were careful, cynical and struck on their only two chances. Then, the game was more balanced, but we no longer had the strength necessary to strike as we did in the first half. I think this is the summary of the match." This is the analysis, the most lucid and objective possible, of Claudio Ranieri speaking to Sky Sport Italia at the end of the match that saw Inter defeated 2-1 by Juventus.
Inter are at 8 points in the standings, but the Nerazzurri coach insists: "We mustn't look at it now because as I said yesterday there are still 84 points, but it's clear that today it was better to win than to lose. I'm coming away from the San Siro with a bittersweet taste in my mouth; sweet because the team fought hard against Juventus, although we were a bit strapped up, and bitter because we lost."
Ranieri concluded to the microphones of RAI Sport: "All of them are useful to the cause. For now, some are not able to manage three games per week, so I will measure out the strength. My phone conversations with Jose Mourinho? He called our team manager before the match against Atalanta. I was close to him and he passed me the phone, and we each wished each other good luck. We need to train, but we don't have the time to do it. But we've faced three teams – Chievo, Atalanta and Juventus – in a short time and we're still there, whereas before we would fade. So I see progress."
