Spalletti: "The difference in fitness was too obvious"

SION - Speaking to Inter TV, LucianoSpalletti gave his analysis of Wednesday’s defeat to Sion in the first edition of the Trophée de Tourbillon: “Our opponents deservedly won,” he said. “You could see straight away that they were stronger than us. There was only one way to make up for this and that was by keeping the ball. We didn’t succeed in doing so, therefore we ran out of energy first and we were made to pay.

“We’ve recently had two important training sessions and today we weren’t so bright. The problems were clear right from the first instant.” The Nerazzurri will now prepare for Saturday’s test in Pisa, where they’ll take on a team that Spalletti knows well: “It will be a pleasure to meet back up again with Zenit, a club that I am very fond of. It will be a useful match to gain consistency. We will be a bit more careful and ensure that we monitor the workload of our sessions tomorrow and the day after to ensure that we have fresher legs.”
