Allegri after the defeat: “Inter really strong, here is the positive note”

Massimiliano Allegri spoke to the microphones of DAZN. “It was an entertaining match for the spectators and for Inter, a bit less so for us,” Allegri began. “The goal for 2-1 was too soft, then they are really good and strong, they changed the pace and created difficulties for us. We could have scored, they could have scored, they did and they won. The performance remains, after the first 20 minutes where we held on, we created favorable situations. In the second half, once it was 2-0 for them out of nowhere…”.

“We need to stay calm, at this moment we are paying for our mistakes, we need to avoid them. It’s only the third matchday, now let’s think about the Champions League. The boys need to stay calm because they put in a good performance.”

On Vergara: “He played a good match. We need to improve, when you play these matches you can’t make certain mistakes, the ball is heavy in these games. There are positive things in this match, but we have conceded 5 goals in two matches.”

In the end, Allegri reserved words of praise for the refereeing: “Today was a good match, I think it was enjoyable to watch because there were some very important technical gestures, especially also because the referees blow the whistle less and that deserves praise, they let play continue and so the game flows, which is the best thing about tonight’s match.”
