Mazzarri: One Of Inter’s Best Of The Season

Inter coach Walter Mazzarri was impressed by his side after what he felt was one of their best performances this season, against Udinese.

The Nerazzurri ran out 3-0 winners at the Stadio Friuli thanks to goals from Rodrigo Palacio, Andrea Ranocchia and Ricky Alvarez.

“It was one of our best performances of the season, also taking into account the quality of the opponents,” Mazzarri told Sky Sport Italia.

“We also did very well against Fiorentina and Juventus, but were eager to come here and play as if we were on home turf. That’s what I try to drill into my players, that the venue is irrelevant.

“We still need to improve on how we control the ball when in the lead, as we still tend to show off a little too much and that can compromise results.

“We’ve got to take our chances to kill off games, although this was an improvement from the 1-1 with Atalanta, as we were able to press them high.

“[Fredy] Guarin has some wonderful skills and I always tell him he has to keep plugged in for 95 minutes. He needs to keep the ball when we’re under pressure.

“I can only praise Alvarez, as he works with quality and quantity. He’s doing extraordinary things at the moment.

“You can see Esteban Cambiasso is a great player and has a sense of position, as when there were errors he’d always be in the right place at the right time to clean up. He’s back to being the player I remember seeing under Jose Mourinho.”
