Inter Milan boss Mancini frustrated by Chievo stalemate

Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini was left frustrated by their 0-0 draw with Chievo Verona.

Chievo finished the better team on the day.

"We are disappointed, as we could've caught sixth place today. It remains open," Mancini told Sky Sport Italia.

"Unfortunately against a side that defends with everyone behind the ball, if you don't find a breakthrough, it becomes more difficult.

"We are disappointed not to have won, but not for everything else. We were imprecise, as we found the frame of the goal only four times, but had 24 shots on goal.

"Chievo closed up till the end, then ran into the spaces and the only thing we did wrong was not score a goal.

"In these games you need talented players to break the deadlock. We've got some of those players and gave it our best.

"Perhaps we could've been more intense at the beginning, but Chievo had 10 players in their own final third."
