MILAN - Ivan Ramiro Cordoba spoke on Inter Channel after Sunday afternoon’s 1-1 draw with Torino.
"It was one of those matches in which it seemed impossible to score," said the Colombian. "Sereni made some great saves and this stopped us from bringing home the three points.
"Julio Cesar said he didn’t see the ball when they scored but in spite of this we tried in every way to get a second goal. We all got forward into their area and risked being exposed at the back. Unfortunately we didn’t manage to win because of a goalkeeper, Sereni, who was on-form today.
"The pitch was slippery today. It was difficult to stop or start moves. Unfortunately I missed a goal but let’s hope I’m luckier next time.
"We’re looking ahead. We just have to keep doing well and stay in front of our rivals. It’s the others who have to worry about us."
