Gasperini: "Observe, adjust, add"
"It was a good start that showed us how much enthusiasm there is in this group and we got to see some of the youngsters. The three-man defence won't be a problem and we're not short of men or ideas for different solutions." Those were Gian Piero Gasperini's first words as he spoke to Sky Sport 24 after the friendly match in which Inter beat Trentino Team 6-1.
The Nerazzurri coach went on to comment on some of the individual performances: "Alvarez made himself noticed right from the start. Sneijder is a marvellous footballer and part of this group; he's come across really well and he's working hard. Nagatomo is great at getting forward, but we need to work on the timing of our movements in the final third. I was really impressed by Castaignos and Alvarez: they both showed good movement. The Dutchman is younger but he knows how to time his runs, and Alvarez will be an important player for this team."
Gasperini then spoke about how he sees the pre-season shaping up: "Our training camp is going well. We're working in ideal conditions every day and we're laying the foundations for a great season. Perhaps there are a few more tactical variations than in the past, but the players have been very receptive."
The coach continued in his post-match press conference: "This first match was useful for me to observe, adjust and add some things. We started well then we lost our shape a bit, partly because of the injuries - though they aren't serious fortunately. We'll keep working hard and try to improve game after game. I must say that everyone has been putting in a lot of effort but you can only improve by playing. The transfer market? We're cut off from all the rumours and the pitch is the only thing that counts."
