Inter Milan boss Mancini frustrated by Empoli stalemate

Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini was left frustrated with their 0-0 draw with Empoli.

Although it ended 0-0 at the Stadio Castellani, the hosts had considerably more possession and scoring opportunities.

"We didn't create much, sat too deep and were too frightened at the start. We didn't play from the back and that's why we were under pressure, as we didn't keep the ball," Mancio told Sky Sport Italia.

"I think a team needs time to grow. It's not as if one win changes everything. The victory was important and it would've been good to get three points here for the climb towards third, but we knew it would be tough as Empoli play great football. We didn't do enough to win.

"Everyone needs to do something more. It's not one or two players, but starting from the back, having courage to take risks and play the ball, because we are Inter. Struggling under pressure from opponents is not our style."
