"There are many matches and a whole half-season still to play. I'm not discouraged about today's draw because the team did its best. We deserved to win because we created some good scoring chances. I have nothing to blame the players for. The strikers did their best but we were unlucky with our shots. Unfortunately the ball didn't go in. We played our game today. We looked a bit rusty in the first half then we started playing and dominated the second half. We were a bit unlucky and inaccurate with our shots on goal. We're a bit disappointed we didn't get three points that we deserved, we must continue like this. Now we are ten points behind Juventus, but our attitude must not change."
He went on further, but clearly in a despondent manner, saying, "In the second half we created four or five incredible scoring chances that we only just failed to convert and this is the only thing I'm disappointed about today. Siena are an excellent side and we knew this; they have quality players and a good coach. We were expecting to have a few problems, but in the end their goalkeeper was the best player on the pitch and Julio Cesar (the Inter goalkeeper) was hardly ever called into action. It's true that we were unlucky with our shots today, but it's also true that Siena defended very well. We came from six consecutive victories and you get days when the ball won't go in and you draw. But I'm not discouraged. The boys did everything to win and I'm pleased. Nothing changes for us, we must continue to do well like we have been doing for some time now. We mustn't get down about today's draw. Like I said, nothing changes."
