Walter Mazzarri: 'We still need to improve'

Inter Milan head coach Walter Mazzarri says that his side still need to improve despite their 2-1 win against Fiorentina on Saturday.

Inter Milan head coach Walter Mazzarri has said that his side still need to improve despite their 2-1 win against Fiorentina on Saturday.

The win, thanks to goals from Rodrigo Palacio and Mauro Icardi, was their first away from home since November.

Mazzarri told Sky Sports Italia: "Tonight we did well, but we also risked throwing away two points, as we waste too many chances. Against a quality side like Fiorentina, they can score at any moment and nearly did at the death.

"We've got to improve in certain respects, as we are too naive and at times were lazy, giving away corners that could've cost us the game.

"Near the end we almost conceded on the counter from our own free kick. It's absurd and we've got to grow up."

The win puts Inter in fifth place in Serie A, five points behind Fiorentina, who sit fourth.
