00:00Questions for the coach?

00:02Live Sport.

00:08The top of the table is almost reductive.

00:11There were chances to take the lead.

00:13The analysis at the end,

00:15apart from finding a very solid team

00:17that played a great game,

00:19what is it from your point of view?

00:22I did the compliments.

00:24The lads were gigantic.

00:26I asked for a test

00:28of how we did.

00:30We all know Manchester City.

00:32We know the numbers,

00:34what this team has done in the years

00:36here at home, in the Champions League.

00:38So we had to play a great game

00:40and we did.

00:42It was a great game.

00:44It was a great game.

00:46It was a great game.

00:48It was a great game.

00:50We did it.

00:54We had some big chances.

00:56The one against Carlos,

00:58the one against Darmian

01:00and the one against Mkhitaryan

01:02were big chances.

01:04In one of them,

01:06the keeper was very good on Carlos

01:08and in the other we could have

01:10been better.

01:12But we worked together

01:14as we have in the last three and a half years.

01:16When we all work together

01:18as a team,

01:20we are a strong team for everyone.

01:22Please, Correa.

01:24Can you tell us

01:26what makes you different

01:28from Mkhitaryan?

01:30They are both

01:32quality players.

01:34Zelisky is a player

01:36that we wanted here

01:38with the managers

01:40because we know he can give us a lot.

01:42He had a problem

01:44in pre-season

01:46and then he came back to Italy

01:48and played two games

01:50as a starter.

01:52He came back to Monza

01:54and convinced me to give him this chance

01:56because he deserved it.

01:58There are many other players

02:00but Zelisky is a big player

02:02and we saw

02:04that we will need everyone

02:06with all these games coming up

02:08and from time to time

02:10I will have to be good

02:12and make choices

02:14but I will always have in mind

02:16Inter for everyone.

02:18Please, Repubblica.

02:20Good evening, coach.

02:22Three days from now

02:24there will be a derby

02:26and a historic derby

02:28because no one has won

02:30the derby in Milan seven times in a row.

02:32It is an important derby

02:34for Inter

02:36and I wanted to ask you

02:38how important it is

02:40for us to come back

02:42after such a good performance?

02:44Of course

02:46it is very important

02:48to prepare better

02:50after good performances.

02:54I would have liked

02:56to win even more

02:58but now

03:00we will come back

03:02and tomorrow

03:04the lads who played

03:06will train and when we come back

03:08they will go home

03:10and tonight

03:12it is not possible

03:14because the airport

03:16in Manchester is closed

03:18so we will come back tomorrow.

03:20Tonight the lads

03:22who didn't play

03:24are still training

03:26because they have done

03:28a lot of hard work

03:30including Mkhitaryan and Lautaro

03:32who were the first two to come back

03:34and we have four players at home

03:36and on Sunday

03:38we have Correa and Palacios

03:40who will help us

03:42thanks to Sport.

03:44Hi Simone.

03:46Compared to the two forwards

03:48Turam and Lautaro

03:50what do you think

03:52about their movements

03:54and their combination?

03:56He is an important player

03:58and I think he played

04:00an excellent game

04:02just like Turam did.

04:04I had to make a decision

04:06because in my opinion

04:08it was better

04:10to let Turam play

04:12even if he wasn't playing

04:14Marcus was helping us

04:16Taremi worked very well

04:18on Carlos' part

04:20and he worked a lot

04:22because we needed

04:24forwards

04:26because when we doubled

04:28on their wingers

04:30we needed a forward

04:32on the ball side

04:34and they would have

04:36brought him from the other side.

04:38Playing with Manchester

04:40is not easy

04:42and we needed forwards

04:44Taremi, Turam and Lautaro

04:46did a great job

04:48and we didn't concede a goal

04:50for the whole team

04:52and for the forwards who worked well.

04:54Good evening.

04:56There is a bit of tension

04:58at the end of the game

05:00and a point is always precious

05:02What did you think

05:04when Darmian

05:06didn't shoot?

05:12I asked him

05:14and he said he heard

05:16Barre calling him

05:18and he didn't shoot

05:20but I was more worried

05:22about Mkhitaryan

05:24because I saw Mkhitaryan

05:26coming and I thought

05:28it was a goal

05:30but Barre called him

05:32with the goalkeeper

05:34and their player did a good job

05:36otherwise Barre would have

05:38come and shot

05:40without anyone in goal.

05:42Any more questions?

05:44One last one.

05:46Yes.

05:48Hi coach.

05:50You mentioned Marco

05:52in terms of the derby.

05:54Can we keep him available for Sunday?

05:56He should

05:58but clearly

06:00we won't take any risks

06:02but there is a lot of confidence

06:04if Di Marco

06:06does a good training session

06:08on Friday

06:10and finishes on Saturday

06:12he will be clearly

06:14one of the call-ups.

06:16There is optimism

06:18but as we have always done

06:20in the last three and a half years

06:22we have very good physiotherapists

06:24who monitor every day.

06:26Di Marco did a good job

06:28and it looked like

06:30the situation

06:32was calm

06:34so we will evaluate him

06:36and if he gives the right guarantees

06:38Federico will be there.

06:40Great.

06:42Hi coach.

06:44Can you explain

06:46the decision to

06:48put Frattesi

06:50without Nanoglou?

06:52I can explain it

06:54Barella

06:56like Zeliski and Mkhitaryan

06:58had done 12.5 km

07:00so at that moment

07:02I called Frattesi

07:04and it was two and a half minutes

07:06with my assistants

07:08and then when I wanted to

07:10put Frattesi for Barella

07:12Cianaloglou

07:14came in

07:16and he also

07:18had a bit of a problem

07:20with Slani sitting for two and a half minutes

07:22so if Frattesi was there

07:24I know I can

07:26like last year

07:28put Barella in that role

07:30so I didn't want Slani to come back

07:32who had stopped warming up

07:34for three minutes

07:36so I put Frattesi.
