Gazzetta dello sport keeps reporting on what happened in the Inter locker room after the loss against Lazio:
“So what happened last Sunday? There’s not a definite answer at the moment because everyone is celebrating christmas for themselves. It’s probable that it was just a minor happening in a day that started out badly and that was finished with tense nerves. There’s no chaos at Inter. And the return of the players will help to learn more about the situation. The players are supposed to be back the 28th to go to Doha where they will remain until January 2nd. It’s in the difficult times that one will understand how much a group is really worth.”
“What happened is basically known by everyone: Ljajic isn’t happy to be excluded from the starting line up, Melo decides the game with a stupid penalty caused and a crazy red card, and in the end Jovetic and Mancini argue in the locker room with Ljajic who has to stop Jovetic and Guarin who has to tell the Montenegrian off. There’s also an argument between Icardi and Melo, which we know a little about. This leads to Inter having to fine everyone a little. The club is working to make a concrete signal because of the values that need to be respected in the locker room. And this is why Ljajic, Jovetic and Melo will be fined. The three should receive an economical punishment with %5 of their monthly wages being cut off. Felipe Melo would be fined because of having left the team with ten players for a violent tackle. Seeing the wages of the Brazilian, this will cost 10400 euro’s. Jovetic and Ljajic will be fined for the lack of discipline before and after the game against Lazio. Jovetic will pay 12500 euros and Ljajic 7500 euros. The amounts aren’t the important thing since it’s not much for a footballer on this level but for Inter it’s important to send a strong message. If this would happen another time the fines will be worse.”
