Ranieri trying to keep Inter calm
Posted Sunday, October 30, 2011 by ESPN
Despite a 2-1 loss to Juventus, Inter Milan manager Claudio Ranieri was keen to keep his side calm.
The defeat marked their fifth league defeat this season, but Ranieri remained optimistic of a late title challenge.
After the game, the Italian said: "I am satisfied with the performance, especially in the first half. They scored with the only two chances they had."
The Italian added: "We must not look at the table, because there are 84 points [sic] still available to gain. Surely it is better to win than to lose, but there are still many points to be won.
"Are Juventus Scudetto-worthy? Yes, the side is working well. But I have not given up. The game was equal. All in all, I did not see Juventus dominance."
He then turned his attention to their upcoming Group B Champions League match against Lille at the San Siro on Wednesday.
"I have injuries to deal with. The defeat must not have repercussions on a psychological level, because in sports one can either win or lose," added the coach.
"Zarate was well, I substituted him as a technical choice. I told him 'You do not deserve to go off, but I must help the squad on the wing", Ranieri concluded.
