Inzaghi: "We kept trying right until the end"

There was a lot of disappointment for Simone Inzaghi, as he gave his thoughts following the 1-0 defeat to Empoli at San Siro.

"We weren't at our best tonight, it must be said. We came up against a good side who played really well. We went down to ten men in the first half and conceded on the break, but we kept going right until the end. Unfortunately, it's a setback. We end this first half of the season with 37 points and a few regrets, and we know we have to do better in the second part."

"They attacked wll in behind. Even before Skriniar's sending off, we weren't at our best. For the goal, we reacted well to the counter-attack, but then they did well with Baldanzi's goal. Unfortunately, we shouldn't be conceding a goal like this with ten against eleven.".

"About Skriniar's situation? I want to see the red card back again. At the moment, I'm perplexed, but I don't want to talk about the referee's decision. About his contractual situation, I can say that he is the ultimate professional; he's working hard and always gives the best of himself. Obviously, this situation doesn't help, but I've a Club behind me that is trying to find a solution."
