Former Inter and Juventus midfielder Marco Tardelli says ‘Inter deserved to go through’ in the Coppa Italia against a ‘careless’ Bianconeri.
The Nerazzurri won the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final 3-0 at San Siro last night, but were beaten on penalties with the aggregate score at 3-3.
“Overall Mancini’s team deserved to go through, they played with the desire to fight,” Tardeli told Tuttomercatoweb.

“Overall Mancini’s team deserved to go through, they played with the desire to fight,” Tardeli told Tuttomercatoweb.
“Unfortunately for Inter and luckily for Juve, there were penalties. However that Nerazzurri team was truly surprising and if they’re like this they can finish in third place.
“I wouldn’t say it was a Juve B team because they still had Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Zaza and Morata on the pitch.
“They were maybe missing someone in midfield but a team that starts at 3-0 up can manage the advantage better. It was careless.
“I don’t think Juve will have lost any certainty, because when Barzagli and Pogba came on they were put back in order. Not to mention that they also lacked Chiellini, Marchisio and Dybala. But like I said it wasn’t a Juve B team.
“All I can say is that Mancini went for a more attacking team yesterday, he put a more technical team out compared to other times, with players like Brozovic and Ljajic who have quality.”
