The SportMediaset journalist Bruno Longhi talked about Inter’s loss against Cagliari:
“I’ll blaim two things for Inter’s loss yesterday. The first is Mazzarri and the second is the mercato. Mazzarri said that the team was tired but Cagliari also played mid-week. The Sard’s ran more than Inter did yesterday. And then the normal problems when Mazzarri chooses to play with an offensive team showed, something that he understands a little about.”

I agree with this guy. Mazzari doesn’t know how to play offensive football. He always played with defending and counterattack football. He is suited for a small team. Even when Inter wins we rely on individual brilliance from Kovacic, Palacio or goals from set pieces. We don’t have a good play. Cagliari played beautiful attacking football with the whole team participating in the attacking phase.
I think the lost was because Mazzarri (like it or not) underestimate Cagliari. Even without Nagatomo’s red card, Inter was under Cagliari spell with Ibarbo and Cossu on the wing. They exploit the space that Nagatomo and Dodo left behind when they’re on attacking, resulting on Nagatomo’s red card and Dodo’s Injury, I think this Cagliari tactic is very effective against Inter.
well I always laugh when read such comment.
lot of people said Mazzarri is a coach who plays defensive football.
and when he fielded two offensive wing-back and lost, they said it was a mistake since the opponents managed to exploit it.
but if Mazzarri fielded players that can do better on defensive side, such as Johny and D’Ambrosio, the fans would still cursing about it, LOL.
our players simply mediocre , enough said.
Whatever the reason is, a home game loss against Serie-A lowest team is unacceptable.
This is a drastic departure from serie A club culture. Inter rests some of its better players for a Europa game against minnows.
Wow!
If the vision is to renew the clubs international profile. Secondly, to beat Fiorentina. Then I almost understand why the club risked dropping points to the Calgarians by fielding a semi-solid team.
Wow!
it WM tactics that got wrong. enough with the 3-5-2! Heard Zeman’s played 2-0-8 with a win againts Inter!
I love the formation when they do the kick-off. You are not going to see that anywhere else in the wold at this level
if we win in florence it have been a OK start of the sesson 11 points in 6 games is okay, if we can keep the avarage point on 2 it will be a good season, i belive we can. BUT the next 2 games wil be cruisel, 2 wins, and iam running naked to milano!
How is the mercato to blame for the defeat?
Right! Maby because we didn´t manage to buy Messi, Ronaldo and Schweinsteiger! And claiming that the players were just as tired in the other team doesn’t make sense; we weren´t tired because of the Atalanta game only, but because of the long jurney to Ukraine, the game AWAY against Palermo (which also is a long way from Milano) and then finally a hard game against Atalanta! Now we get a home mid-week game and a game in Florence, not that long a way from Milano – so let´s see what the guys are made of now!
joke of a coach
