The former Roma manager feels that his Catania side was unfortunate to share the spoils with the Beneamata, having been 2-0 up at half-time at the San Siro.
Gli Elefanti overpowered lacklustre Inter Milan in the first-half of the match. The Nerazzurri were terrible in their first-half display, playing like a lower division side, with Catania out-muscling the
San Siro outfit with brutality on their travel.

when the ball was passed to him, the attacker consequently crossed the ball for an easy goal for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mariano-c23890 Izco.
However, Catania were unable to hold on to their advantage for full 90 minutes. Even though Montella’s men seemed that they will be able to score more goals, they failed in their second-half attempts. Inter
Milan broke their goal drought with their opening goal from Diego Forlan. This was followed by another goal from former Real Zaragoza striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Milito. A goal apiece by the Beneamata strike force meant that Catania and Inter Milan shared the spoils by
the end of the match.
Montella, being pragmatic, realised that playing against world-class opposition makes it even hard to score victories against them. He continued:
“Unfortunately we were perfect for 75 minutes and in the second half failed to take our chances. We lowered the tempo and in a game like this it means you risk losing, such as Giampaolo Pazzini’s late opportunity.”
The manager commended his team’s performance against the Nerazzurri, stating that they played with discipline and finished moves clinically. He added by stating:
“The first half was fantastic, as we played so well and allowed Inter nothing, hitting them in the right moments with team counter-attacks.”
The former AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 striker has done exceedingly well in managerial roles; making his mark through his tactical prowess, in his tenures at Roma and now Catania. He has been cited as one of the replacements
for Claudio Ranieri along with Andre Villas-Boas.
