reported on May 4 that in the 35th round of Serie A, Verona lost 0-1 away to Inter Milan. Verona coach Paul Zanetti was interviewed after the game.

Paul Zanetti first said: "We retreated too far in the first half, which made me angry. You can't lose the ball so many times when facing Inter, allowing the opponent to easily break into our penalty area. We played more courageously in the second half, and showed more aggressiveness in the formation, but we lacked the key scoring ability. However, the players have given everything and there is nothing to blame in this regard."

Verona is currently leading the relegation zone by 6 points, Paul Zanetti continued: "We have to put this game behind us. The real chance we missed was to lose to Cagliari in the last round. Next we have another chance to relegate in front of home fans. We need to grow, not repeat the same mistakes. "

Finally, Paul Zanetti also talked about Inter Milan's Champions League semi-final against Barcelona. "I watched the first leg of the semi-finals of the two teams, which was a wonderful game. Inter Milan was able to participate in the Champions League semi-finals. They had a strong team, excellent strength, strict defense organization and good team spirit. They defended modestly and cautiously when facing opponents like Barcelona who pressed high positions. I think Inter Milan has all the conditions needed to advance to the final."
