Inter manager Frank De Boer was interviewed after the Chievo Defeat by Premium Sports where he highlighted the physical side of Inter’s game:
“There is nothing to deny that today’s game was a difficult one, but we are at the beginning and we can improve the level of play. I choose to play 3 men at defense because of our physical condition.”
He was asked what went wrong in the game, where he replied:
“We must raise the physical condition of our game. Candreva and other players must step up for more physical challenges. We conceded the goal when we were creating and possibly the concentration was gone. We could have stopped the game with a foul perhaps. ”
“I only had one friendly match before it, so it will take time to work on certain aspects “- he added before signing off.

you should avoid playing 3 man defenders at all cost. Inter has never been good with that formation.
chievo didn’t have the physical problem. how come??
mancio wasn’t there …. and ezek isn’t their fan ahahaha
I indeed noticed the physical problem of us in this match compare to celtic match. I dont know what happen because fdb said he reduced the workload in order to prepare the team to be in shape for chievo match… it was so different than celtic match where we press almost the entire match… there is something wrong in our training method
to be fair in celtic match we’re played against celtic bench and their 3rd team.. none of the players that celtic bring to the game were their regular players.. so celtic game can’t be a reference.. FDB just need time to prepare his team.. 2 weeks is not enough..
Meneer please don’t repeat the same mistakes, perisic should play from the start and put kdog on his position..bench candreva , he’s not ready yet..rannochia never play him anymore
perišić is the best inter attacker and not playing him is a pure shit decision !
One thing FBD needs to take out of this match is that a defence with Rano is almost a guaranteed goal for the opponent. I just hope he realise it sooner rather than 5-10 match later. At least Naga is decent in attacking…
Hmm.. What is this? Many players (Handanovic fx) and the coach have been talking about physical problems and the team not being in superb shape… What did we do this summer? Why hasn’t we managed to get the players into shape? That’s a HUGE problem if this is so!!! Then we’ll end up loosing points to every single team in the league, if we’re not in shape!
is juve in shape ?
is juve training together as one hole team ?
I remeber some inter fan idiots defending mancio for doing that and massive losing preseason games !!!
FDB, it is not easy task
correcting mancio’s misdeed …
FDB or
Football DouBts ?

This match was useless and the team had no organization or speed! But this is just the first match so I hope you take notes and learn from this and come back stronger in next game.
