“I had the impression we are in good shape, we did very well in the first half against a strong Inter side. The result is perplexing to anyone who saw the match, but we are ready for the next."

“It might affect your confidence in us, but it won't affect our own. We played against a great Inter side, in a very anomalous match, there is no time to think negatively. Did you not sense it was anomalous? Maybe it was just me…"
