8.54pm – The press conference begins.
Was Calhanoglu’s absence more noticeable in the defensive phase?
“In my opinion, Zielinski did very well, he played an excellent match. We know the value of Calhanoglu, who manages to do well in both phases. But it was a difficult match to comment on, you all saw it: there It’s a huge disappointment, with a match like this we deserved a different result and now we are conditioned by the final result.”
There are so many individual errors, why?
“Clearly there have been errors, we all need to be made more responsible, then I clearly still have to look into them: there are repeated errors, go and see how the goals went. We all had to do better, it’s difficult to talk about an individual. As a coach, I I have to be clear-headed and understand, I know that now we are influenced by the result. In eleven games against Juve it has never happened to me to create eight-nine scoring opportunities against such a solid team.
Was it an advert for Italian football?
“Well, the neutral fans who love football will certainly have enjoyed themselves. We a little less so, we know what the Italian derby represents. We’ve seen many of them, this one was special: I struggle to accept this draw but I have to do it. It can happen, it’s part of football, but you can’t concede four goals to Juventus from four shots. We scored four, but with fifteen goals.”
The entrances of Bisseck and Frattesi?
“It would be too easy for a substitution to be decisive, in the first half we conceded two goals similar to the other two. We must all take responsibility, it cannot be the fault of the defenders or of an individual, but of the whole of Inter. With the rotations I was a a little short, Asllani couldn’t come on and Buchanan had the first training session on Friday, I was 4-5 players out. They probably would have helped me more at that moment, but if we talk about the changes in the first half we conceded two similar goals If he hadn’t raised the white flag I would have left him, but he asked for a change.”
21 – Inzaghi’s press conference concluded.
