A player can't always perform to the same levels ,apart from Javier Zanetti. He's impressive. Stephane is very young and so it's natural for him to have ups and downs. He's very good and he's also a very good boy. I want to play with Steph more. At the moment he still has a few physical problems but he will soon return to training with us.
"Even after this defeat, Inter are still a great team. It's a harsh result that perhaps punishes us more than we deserve. Two goals like this condition the match slightly. Inter don't need Batistuta in order to have grit and character. The team has already showed on many occasions that they have such talents. I would like to make something clear, otherwise there's the risk of creating confusion. Batistuta is not coming to Inter because of today's bad performance, but because of Crespo 's serious injury."
"We lost our tactical order in the second half. When this happens you can lose by this kind of score. The slightly irregular episodes which led to their goals in the first half certainly conditioned the progress of the match, and these episodes are an important fact. We lost our heads and we didn't manage to react by finding the equaliser like we have done on the many other occasions it has happened to us. A lot of things have been spoken about this week, and I'm not saying this to look for excuses. We were taken by surprise when the second goal was scored, it's evident we weren't sufficiently focused."
