Walter Mazzarri: 'Inter Milan were unlucky against AC Chievo Verona'

Mazzarri: 'Inter were unlucky against Chievo'

Inter Milan manager Walter Mazzarri has claimed that his team could not have done anything more during their 1-1 draw against AC Chievo Verona.

The Nerazzurri came from behind to secure a point at the San Siro after Yuto Nagatomo cancelled out Alberto Paloschi's strike, and Mazzarri believes that despite their efforts to win the game, luck was not on his team's side.

"I could not have asked for more from my team," he told Sky Sport Italia. "We knew Chievo were organised in defence and physically strong, but we had scored to go 2-1 up and had a great chance with Rodrigo Palacio."

"If we had taken the lead, then it would've been a more entertaining match with more spaces. We know that to play good football it takes two teams, but Chievo came here to defend and hope for a mistake to hit us on the counter-attack.

"Sometimes the ball just doesn't go in and your opponents score at every shot. You just have to keep working. The lads believe in themselves, we just need a little more luck, which is crucial in sport."

Inter are currently fifth in the Serie A table.
