Simone InzaghiInter coach, analyses this to the microphones of DAZN the 2-1 defeat in the derby against Milan: “Milan is a great team, tonight they did better than us and deserved the victory. We started badly, we were not a team. Something that rarely happens to us. I tried to change, but the situation didn’t change: we were not very compact, losing the distances. We did better in the last 25 minutes of the first half but in the second half we came back like in the first, the two halves that my team started badly were decisive”.
Did you explain what it depended on?
“I have to watch the match again, we weren’t clear-headed in both phases because we chose badly and the two goals we conceded are proof of that. Milan went in front of goal on the first two occasions. We should have done more, we’re disappointed because it was a derby. We have to work, tonight we weren’t the team we’ve been for the last three years”.
Conceded two avoidable goals?
“We knew that Gabbia was good in the air, the feeling is that we were a bit empty-headed. Defeats hurt, we will try to work harder and take something positive from a defeat that hurts.”
Did he try to shake things up with the changes?
“Absolutely yes, we approached the game badly, especially in the second half. Barella had a little problem, the feeling we gave was that we weren’t a team. This defeat will be analyzed to understand where we went wrong, me first. I’m sorry because I had seen the boys do well, we had worked well but the approach wasn’t good.”
