Mihajlovic bows to Inter
Saturday 21 February, 2009

Bologna tactician Sinisa Mihajlovic maintains his men “did all we could” against runaway leaders Inter.

They had managed to cancel out Esteban Cambiasso's opener with Miguel Angel Britos, but a free kick from Mario Balotelli - a striker Mihajlovic had tried to sign in January - sealed a 2-1 result.

“We did all we could against a great side who defend and attack en masse. Just as against Udinese and Napoli, I find myself commenting on a harsh result considering how we performed.”

Julio Cesar was forced into a series of decisive saves in the second half to keep out Marco Di Vaio and Massimo Marazzina.

“I had expected to concede a goal at any moment, considering the huge wealth of forwards at Inter's disposal,” continued the former Nerazzurri assistant manager.

“There are regrets, though, that we let in two goals from set plays. That is a real shame.”

Mihajlovic began his Bologna career with a long unbeaten run, but now risks sliding back into the danger zone.

“One point from three games is admittedly far too little. All we can do is continue our work and hope the results will match our performances.”
