Pioli slams Inter attitude after 'painful' Crotone defeat

The relegation strugglers cruised past their illustrious opponents, leaving the Nerazzurri coach fuming at what he saw

Stefano Pioli has slammed Inter's attitude after they were beaten 2-1 by relegation-threatened Crotone on Sunday.

Diego Falcinelli netted twice in the opening 22 minutes to hand Crotone a comfortable two-goal lead at half-time and Danilo D'Ambrosio's second-half strike was not enough to salvage a draw.

This weekend's defeat effectively ends Inter's hopes of securing Champions League football and Pioli was not impressed with their performance.

"Our approach was all wrong. We made too many mistakes and it cost us a game where we should have shown a different mentality," Pioli told reporters.
