The objective for Inter is to get back to winning ways, as they are coming off a 1-1 draw with Torino and will now face Atalanta. Luciano Spalletti spoke about this and the Italian national team in his pre-match press conference, "the Meazza is a stadium that echoes, they come from all over the place. There are always 60,000 people here, and we can't betray their excitement. The national team? I obviously am displeased with what happened, but we don't need to create justification. Now is the time to react, also because our football is a model. Soon everything will be put back into place. I am part of the movement and I have to contribute to generate a better Italian football. It wasn't only the defeat of Ventura, we have to uncover everything. Could I be the next Italy manager? I would like to be one day, but not now. I want to only think about Inter. Ancelotti? right now we need the best, and its him."
He then went on to speak about the opponents in his next match, Atalanta, "We must be ready physically. If the ball is inactive they can't score goals, with their structure they seem like basketball players. Everyone finds motivation to play us. Everyone at my disposal? Yes, even Icardi. Joao Mario's words during the international break? He has to say what he thinks, we speak with everyone. We prepare video of all individual performances, without excluding anyone. This is the situation at the moment but the preparation must always be done as best as possible. Everything is ok. They are all doing their work well."
