A skilled team like ours must remain focused and should not let the opponent back into the game.
After the 2-2 comeback against Bologna at San Siro, Simone Inzaghi was bitter. ‘I’m angry, and so are the players. It’s the second time we’ve been leading and didn’t win the game,’ the Inter coach said for DAZN. ‘We lost like this to Sassuolo, and today we drew.’ ‘In the first half, we scored two goals and could have scored more, but the two goals we conceded came from lack in concentration,’ he added. ‘At 2-2, it was only one team playing, but we couldn’t find the net.’
‘Having lead 2-0, and seen what we produced during the game plus the team’s attitude on the field, I can’t accept this draw,’ Inzaghi continued, analyzing the match against Bologna. ‘It’s football, we need to work harder.’ ‘We lacked concentration. At 2-0, we shouldn’t have allowed them to reopen the game,’ he continued. ‘Their penalty for 2-1 gave energy to them, and we we knew very well they are a quality team.’
About the 2-2 equaliser? ‘We could prevented the situation earlier and covered the field better. These are 2 blody points lost that don’t sit well with me,’ the Inter coach added. ‘After 2-2, we created a lot and missed some important chances. However, a team as experienced and skilled as ours, must remain focused after being 2-0 up after 15th minutes,’ Inzaghi reiterated.
Thuram‘s substitution? It was a tactical choice…’ Finally, on the possibility of Milan overtaking the ‘Nerazzurri‘ in the standings: ‘We must take things, one game at a time. We control our destiny; we shouldn’t look at others.
