So much difficulty, thanks to the synthetic pitch that was much criticized, even by president Beppe Marotta. In the end, however, it arrives Marcus Thuram el’Inter conquers Bern: against him Young Boys it ends 1-0, thanks to the last-gasp goal from the French centre-forward. It is the second success in this edition of the Champions League for the Nerazzurri team, capable of conceding zero goals after the first three days of the top continental event.
Reserves equal to owners: no. It’s the answer that Simone Inzaghi receives from today’s match. The Inter eleven, in an emergency especially due to the absence of a director, struggled to impose themselves on the Swiss and the difference was made by the substitutes. Among the starters, the best is the German Yann Bisseck: 7 on his report card. Of the guests, the goalkeeper von Ballmoos should be especially rewarded.
The words of the two coaches. The host, Joel Magnincomplains about the difference between result and performance, but also admits that the pitch has its impact: “Today we wanted to win, I’m happy with the performance but I think we deserved more – says the interim coach of the Gialloneri in the press conference – the synthetic? It’s a small advantage for us, maybe it’s not used that much in Europe, but in Switzerland we’re more used to it.” Inzaghi himself also returns to the topic, explaining the dynamics linked to Marko Arnautovic’s missed penalty: “The penalty taker is Calhanoglu, then there is him and Taremi. Against Red Star he was out, today he wanted to take it and he was sorry But only those who take penalties miss them – says Simone in the press conference – Could it be that the pitch had an impact, I can’t say for sure, unlike what happened with Calhanoglu and Acerbi, I’m afraid It’s something more serious. But it’s just a feeling and investigations will be needed.”
