Walter mazzarri:my players have been affected by the pressure on the club

Inter coach Walter Mazzarri acknowledged his players had been
affected by the recent pressure on the club following the 1-0
win over Cesena.
Mazzarri's side went into Sunday's encounter sitting ninth in
Serie A after an underwhelming start to the season, with the
match coming at the end of a turbulent week.
Thursday saw honorary president Massimo Moratti resign – the
69-year-old reportedly unhappy at the club's continuing support
of under-fire Mazzarri.
Inter were also held to a draw at home to Saint-Etienne in the
UEFA Europa League, and Mazzarri revealed that his players were
beginning to feel the heat.
After seeing Mauro Icardi's 32nd-minute penalty edge out 10-
man Cesena, who had goalkeeper Nicola Leali controversially
sent off for his role in conceding the decisive spot-kick, Mazzarri
told Sky Sport Italia: "We really needed this win, as the lads felt
the pressure.
"I would remove the rule of the red card for the goalkeeper, as I
like a game with 11 against 11 and we had the same sort of thing
happen to us in Turin last season.
"You could tell the team was not relaxed and felt the pressure.
We were too hasty to score and therefore didn't make the most
of the chances, often wandering offside because we didn't hold
the run.
"I know they were desperate to win and prove themselves, but at
times you have to be calmer and take your time to make the
right decision.
"We could even have shot from distance, but seemed
determined to walk it into the net."
Leali's dismissal for a coming-together with Rodrigo Palacio –
who seemed to make the most of the contact – ensured Inter
had a numerical advantage for almost an hour, but Mazzarri did
not feel his side took full advantage of the extra man.
He added: "In fact, we played better before the red card, as we
became frenetic and wasted several chances which were one-
on-one.
"We cannot keep wasting these opportunities and I got angry
with a lot of things, as we wasted so many counter-attacks.
"Anyone who [has] played football knows that at 1-0 you can
always concede at any moment, even from a ricochet, so you
have to finish the game off.
