Benitez: " Satisfied with my team"
MILAN - Rafa Benitez feels that Inter could have come away from Sunday night's Juventus clash with more than a point.
"The team played well against Werder Bremen last Wednesday and we fielded the same starting eleven today, but we didn't have the same luck because we lost Biabiany almost immediately," said the Spanish coach.
"We thought that we could have won tonight by repeating the ideas used in the Champions League."
After losing Biabiany to injury, Benitez was forced to make a second change at the break with Cordoba unable to continue. "We were a little bit unlucky, we had to change a few things and this is not always easy. Milito was recovering from a leg problem, but he still did his job and he created two very good chances. I am satisfied with my team, we could have won."
Coutinho gave another convincing display against the Bianconeri after his performance against Werder. "He's young and talented, he did a lot of positive things today," said Benitez. "He's not a defensive player, but he can make a difference in attack."
Inter will be hoping to have a few players back for the resumption of Serie A action after the October international break. "At the moment we have three or four players out injured - Pandev, Zanetti, Thiago Motta," said Benitez. "The situation will be better when they return."
