In the 4th round of Serie A held early this morning, Inter Milan defeated Sassuolo 2-1 at home. Inter Milan coach Ziwo attended the post-match press conference.
Are you satisfied with the victory of this game or are you dissatisfied with your performance in the last moment of the game?
Sassuolo is a very powerful opponent and we must learn to bear the pressure. Our overall performance was good and we should have secured the victory earlier. Sassuolo scored a goal in the final moments of the game and we were under pressure and overcame the fear.
Josep Martinez started in this game. Will he and Sommer rotate in the goalkeeper position?
I have made it clear to them. Sommer knows that Josep will start today, and he is happy to accept it. In my opinion, this is the right thing to do. Sommer is still Inter Milan's main goalkeeper, but Josep will also get a lot of opportunities to play, and there is no need to wait until the Italian Cup in December to let him play.
How does Inter Milan need to improve efficiency?
The opponent's goalkeeper performed well, and it was never easy to face intensive defense at low posts. We had a lot of shots and I was very happy with the end result.
Sucic starts in this game. What do you think of him?
He is a young player who is adapting to a new environment and has room for improvement. He also needs to strengthen some strength because he appears a little thin during the confrontation, but he still has time to improve. As a young player, it is normal to have ups and downs in form and you need to manage these well. Like other midfielders, he brings the team protection and confidence.
Will Augusto focus on the left central defender or the left wingback in the future?
He can compete with these two positions, and he served as the starting left wingback in the game against Juventus. Having him play on the left wingback is one of our options, and Bastoni sometimes needs a rest. This starter is also a reward for his correct attitude, and he played a wonderful game.
Are you considering making some tactical adjustments?
What do you mean? The battle must be prepared according to the opponent. We can also adapt to the formation of three forwards, but there are some small details to pay attention to, rather than completely changing the team. We need to find ways to avoid having the team in trouble, and I don't want to put the defense in trouble.
