Milan, 6 December 2024 - here are the comments from coach Fabio Pecchia, made at the end of Inter vs Parma on MD15 of Serie A 2024/25.
‘When you face these teams, wh0 are full of energy, enthusiasm, as well as strength, giving your 100% is sometimes not enough to bring home the points. I saw a lot of good things, we need games like these to show us the challenge of the championship and what we have to do. What I asked of my team, all the way to the end, was to go and look for the goal, because to win games you have to score. This is the right mentality for me. Conceding chances to Inter is not something out of the ordinary, and we also defended well. Our mentality is to go on every pitch looking for goals. In the first half, in the few chances we had, we were able to get a few attempts in. January? The trajectory is clear with the club - experience must be gained on the pitch. In the second half, we had more youngsters on the pitch. The boys must quickly take every opportunity given from these games, every chance to grow quickly. We have build experience on the pitch and these matches teach a lot to the whole group. It was a match where we did what we had to do, these are situations that will improve our performance. There was a good mentality from my team, considering the opponent. We were able to defen;, Inter forced us. But when we had the will to go and pinch them high, we did it with strength and desire. It is good for our improvement. Verona? Every match is special, we'll have time to prepare for it, regain our energy and face it in the best possible way. It will be totally different from a tactical point of view.'
