Ausilio: "All our players deserve to play"

BERGAMO - Nerazzurri sporting director Piero Ausilio spoke to Premium Sport a few moments before kick off in the match between Atalanta and Inter. "Tonight's team selection? Spalletti has made some changes because some players are unavailable. All of our players have always shown that they deserve it when their chance comes, including Santon. Other players in that position like Cancelo and D'Ambrosio have played really well and have deserved to play lots of minutes. This is another reason why other players have had less opportunity. The fight for the Champions League? Third and fourth place are still well within our reach. We're playing against high-level teams and I'm not expecting this week to be decisive."

There were a few thoughts on Mauro Icardi. "Mauro has a lot of character, he doesn't let anything bother him. We're lucky to have a player like him. His contract renewal? We speak to all the players with great calmness and serenity. There'll be time to discuss everything. Until 20th May, we're thinking about the championship and our objective for the season, then afterwards we'll dedicate ourselves to the transfer market."
