Luciano Spalletti felt it just wasn’t Inter’s day as they hit the woodwork twice in a 1-0 defeat to Torino and wasted the chance to go third.
With Roma beaten 2-0 at home by Fiorentina yesterday, the Nerazzurri had the opportunity to leapfrog them into the top three, but Adem Ljajic proved decisive in Turin.
“There are moments when it doesn’t go your way, no matter how you try, even if you push the ball,” the Coach sighed on Sky Sport Italia.
Luciano Spalletti felt it just wasn’t Inter’s day as they hit the woodwork twice in a 1-0 defeat to Torino and wasted the chance to go third.

“There are moments when it doesn’t go your way, no matter how you try, even if you push the ball,” the Coach sighed on Sky Sport Italia.
“We didn’t pass the ball around as well as usual and allowed a few too many counter-attacks, which in turn used up valuable energy chasing them down. We should’ve controlled the ball better and suffocated Toro in their own half.
“I wouldn’t say we wasted chances to win against Milan and Torino, because in a game there is an opponent too. We gave our best.”
Spalletti was asked about his curiously intense handshake with smile through gritted teeth on Torino Coach Walter Mazzarri after the final whistle.
“When he shakes your hand, it’s always with a little timidity, even after he’s won a game. I complimented him, he sort of waved his fingertips in my direction and so I squeezed it even harder.”
