Massimo Moratti Quotes After Inter defeated by Bayern

President, looking back, what are your thoughts on all the comments made about last night's defeat?

"I think it was a good game which could have gone either way, but it went in the worst way possible for us. Inter played well and we set up some great chances. Our biggest problem was conceding a goal in the last minute when there was no time to react."

Do you think Inter can make a comeback in the second leg?

"Inter must score one goal more than they do, then either it goes to penalties or we have won. So it's not impossible. To some extent it will depend on luck."

Compared with the Champions League final played in Madrid last May against Bayern Munich, did you miss Milito or Mourinho more?

"I was missing a centre forward who could give the team depth. Inter have had to change their game a little to suit this type of play. They expressed themselves well on the pitch and showed they could be dangerous, but it's obvious that this was a good opportunity."

If you had to criticise Inter last night, what didn't you like?

"I haven't had time to analyse it yet, but I must say that we were all disappointed with the result, though not with how the team played."

Did you like the team that Leonardo picked?

"It was the right team to play, I wouldn't have chosen a different line-up."

On Sunday evening Inter take on Sampdoria and can't let up, especially because AC Milan have to play Napoli...

"For one day we'll think about yesterday's defeat, even if it won't be easy. Against Sampdoria we'll have a striker like Pazzini and then we'll see."

Yesterday Julio Cesar seemed a bit unsure of himself.

"He's a goalkeeper who has worked miracles for us in goal, every now and again you can make a mistake. It isn't a serious problem."

Following the three defeats suffered by Inter, AC Milan and Roma do you think the state of Italian football can be defined as worrying, or are these three isolated events?

"We are talking about three different teams who played against different opponents, none of whom were easy. Whenever we lose everyone is crying doom and gloom, then, when we win, we are the best in the world. If we didn't take things to heart so much we might be able to move ahead more efficiently."
