Inter Milan's custodian Julio Cesar was downhearted after his team's 1-1 draw against Parma on Wednesday.

"The match was an even contest, and a point will serve us well," Cesar told Inter Channel.

"In any case, we will return home a little disappointed that we could not get all three points to extend our lead.

"At least we were able to get a point out of the match, and now our thoughts will turn to Napoli."

Cesar was effusive in his praise for opposition goal keeper Antonio Mirante, who played a huge role in keeping Inter from scoring more than once.

"I think that Mirante was fantastic on many occasions, so my compliments to him. He was very alert during the match," added the 30-year-old.
