Frosinone coach Di Francesco: We must not dwell on Inter Milan thrashing

Frosinone coach Eusebio di Francesco has urged his players to move on from last night's 5-0 defeat at Inter Milan.

Davide Frattesi, Marko Arnautovic, Tajon Buchana, Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram struck for the Nerazzurri.

“Inter had overall six shots on goal and scored five goals, they are a clinical team and we knew that," said Di Francesco afterwards.

“The result feels false, but we know our limitations. We need to rediscover that solidity. It might seem odd to analyse a game that ended 5-0 and say we had a good performance, but the circumstances did not go our way."

“All the talk during the week around Inter did not help us, because the spotlight was on them again and they gave 100 per cent. We'll see what attitude the big clubs take against the other teams.

“There must not be a psychological blowback, the objective from tomorrow is to cancel this result from our minds and rediscover the defensive solidity we lost today.

“It's silly to concede a counter-attack when losing 4-0, we need to be more intelligent and understand when not to make certain mistakes."

He added, “We proved over the course of the season that we deserve to be in Serie A and are supported by a fantastic crowd. We always showed courage, at times we make naïve mistakes, but I have always believed in this type of football."
