Inter manager Andrea Stramaccioni says his side must put behind them their mistake against Parma behind them.
Stramaccioni: 'I don't think Inter really suffered defensively, nor did I get the impression that the opposition battened down the hatches. As I've said, it might well have turned out to be your typical 0-0, where a big team that's not in great form has a bad game, and that would have been acceptable. Obviously we shouldn't have made that mistake, it changed everything. The secret is in trying to maintain the right balance.
'I think our game probably lacked something when we weren't in possession, maybe a little bit of determination and aggressiveness. When that happens sometimes the opponent gets to the ball before you. I'm talking about fouls as well, there are occasions when you have to resort to more strong-handed tactics. In the other games we've won, especially away from home, that didn't happen. At Parma, I saw us struggling for the first time, I didn't see that against Cagliari or in Bergamo. We can't deny that we've paid a small price after the most tiring weeks in terms of away trips for the Europa League. To be honest, I've noticed that in the players themselves. In weeks like that you find it harder to work consistently. Earlier in the season I was able to freshen up the side with greater success, but I must admit that in this case we paid for it.'
