Inter midfielder Javier Zanetti has voiced his disappointment with the Nerazzurri's spectacular 4-4 Serie A draw at home against Palermo on Wednesday evening.
Argentine striker Diego Milito netted four goals for the Giuseppe Meazza side, but it turned out to be not enough for the full three points as Fabrizio Miccoli levelled the scoring again in the 85th minute, with his third goal of the game.
"We're hugely disappointed after what we did in this game - a strange game. I think Inter and Palermo both did everything they could to win this match and in the end it produced a draw," Zanetti was quoted as saying on the club's official website.
Zanetti then went on to say that it was a very difficult match due to the extreme conditions, and added that the game should have been called off.
"The pitch influenced things a lot. I don't know how many teams could have played this type of game but the Lega - and the referee in particular - decided to play so we played," he added.
"It's true that there were no injuries but it was a huge risk on a pitch that is bad even when the weather conditions aren't as severe as they were tonight."
Inter remain fifth in the Serie A table with 36 points from 21 games.
