What They're Saying
Hellas Verona manager Andrea Mandorlini (via Football Italia): "[Luca] Toni finalizes the work done by the whole squad and we could've celebrated a win here [in Cesena]. We deserved to win, so we're angry at ourselves after this."
Inter Milan vice-President Javier Zanetti (via Football Italia): "We're forging a path with President [Erick] Thohir, and the intention is to continue. We're having some difficulties, but that shouldn't get in the way of the ultimate goal, which is to take Inter to the highest possible level."
Tactical Preview
