Despite this golden moment of Inter, Stefano Pioli has two things he’s worrying about. At least if you read Corriere della Sera who reports of the Inter coach not being happy about how Bologna got back into the game after Inter took a 2-0 lead. The second thing is the number of goals Inter has conceded. Pioli has already spoken with the team where he emphasised that the team can’t allow itself to lose focus like it did when Bologna scored their first goal. When it comes to goals conceded, Inter has allowed 17 goals in 11 games under Pioli (9 though in the first 4 games), but this is the third game in 2017 (all won) and there is still no clean sheet (as opposed to the last three games of 2016).

Every fullback who has arrived at inter..bring the burden for replacing jz4 and maicon in our heart…two of them are our ideal fullback ever…and i still misses them very much…
Well, in all honesty, any player that arrives in a team which changed 2 coaches, playing styles, ownership and management in 5 months is going to feel lost and out of place. And the “some reason” our defense has been so awful is because our CMs (Kondo mostly) has been losing the ball when the team is in transition and is putting even more pressure on the weakest link in our team. If it wasn’t for Godmanovic, Inter would be close to the relegation zone right now.
Dude, let’s compare him with his competition for the starting line up: our lord, Nagshitimo..
Ansaldi is far superior in dealing with press of the opponent, this is huge as most of the teams we play against do that to us, at it has been our main weakness since the Gasperini era. All Nagashit does is to either pass to the keeper or swing the ball. Ansaldi dribbles, or pass to Perisic in a lot of occasions.
Defensively Ansaldi, is a tiny little bit weaker as he is slower than Nagashit.
I cannot say his crossing is bad in comparison with lord though. In the past fucking 6 years, how many good crosses do you remember from the lord?!
EXACTLY! so I do not want to bench Ansaldi because,
benching Ansaldi = seeing lord Nagashit
forget about Miangue. If Ansaldi is benched we are gonna get Nagashit, and that is why I support Ansaldi!
thats very likely. he was great 1-2 months ago.
its more so pioli’s influence. also, its only a matter of time before ansaldi gets his form back. and you’ll be all over him….
I think the conclusion from ur discussion is both dambro and ansaldi are sheit but you two just can not agree who is shitier. Lmao
Dumbrosio, Froggy, Drunksaldi, Nagashitomo, Melon, Flopdogbitcha, Granpalacio, Gabighost…those nickname doesn’t come without a reason.
I would agree if not for Palacio and Gabi. Granpa is old, that’s true, but he still has the best movement of all of our forwards and we saw it again against Bologna. His job is not to play 90 min and score a ton of goals.
As far as Gabi, the kid came from Brazil in a team that had just switched coaches and went 180 on playing style, tactics and pretty much everything. The dressing room was chaos and players were divided. Bottomline, he wasn;t given the warmest of welcomes and he wasn’t really given much guidance by any of the 2 coaches he’s had in 5 months as they were both in emergency mode, scrapping for points to keep the season alive.
Great summary XD
Indeed. Somehow reminds me of my two cousins who kept arguing about their GFs, who is prettier, who is sexier bla..bla..bla.
Funnily, both of them are ugly in my standard LOL
It’s freakin obvious for 3rd season in a row that Inter’s main problem are the fullbacks, yet again we’re rumored with Veratti, Lucas, Gustavo, Berardi, Bernardeschi, Manolas and even Messi… None of which is a fullback. Like WWWTTTFFF!!!
hahhahaa
well u expect every young player to “grow” but thadoesn’t always happen. kondogbia and brozovic had months and months of poor performances. its different than jumping in and hating on ansaldi or candreva for under performing for a few games.
Wow, that was some heavy discussion. This is why i love sempreinter

has he ever had a good form tho? he’s only 23 yr. its like hating on brozovic….. its justified because he’s young and never performed. in the case of eder, candreva and ansaldi its different because i know they’re just in a bad form and can do better.
stats actually tell other wise my friend. i’m just tryna pick ur brain. why is dumbo better in defending when he causes way more goals than ansaldi?
inter fans need to stop jumping on and hating on players because of their bad form. it happens alot.
agree!
Yes, inter fans made me sick with their pessimism and hate…
in what way is dumbo better? i honestly don’t see it.
have u seen him pre injury or when he was in genoa? he was PURE class.
huh? stats don’t lie. seems to me that u just hate the guy.
also, should i link u the goal where d’ambrosio was pinned by a 37 year old Sergio Pellissier for the chievo goal?!!! or the times where naga and santon caused goals? we shouldn’t settle mediocrity but come on… be fair now.
ansaldi is in a dip of form thats it.
nope. but we should start from the worse players onwards. and he’s certainly isn’t.
Yes, I think Ansaldi could be a good backup FB as he can play on both sides. Definitely not a starter in a team with Inter’s ambitions though.
thats not even his fault. that was kondogbia’s. at least he offers something going forward. in the last game he’s had 17 cross over all. compared to 4 of danilo and very similar passing accuracy. he’s the reason why alot of our attacks begin in the left side. there is always someone to point the finger at and hate at inter games! always…
Like you pointing at Kondogbia? How was that goal his fault?
because deflected a very weak ball that the goalkeeper was gonna save. he made poor contact with the ball eitherway
Where was the back 4? Ask yourself why it was Kondogbia in that position and not any of our back 4. Go right ahead and blame him it makes you feel better about Ansaldi man.
Don’t forget Candreva’s goal was a deflection too. It happens.
yea he shouldn’t have try to deflect/block the ball with that poor effort. the shot was super weak too.
edit: candreva’s shot was right in front of the defender. kondogbia had at least 3 meters to decide. its simple defending. also why is even ansaldi brought in this lmaoo.
You know why.. Lol. As I said he did the best he could and you still haven’t answered where the back 4 was on that goal? On the sidelines having some Gatorade ?
“As I said he did the best he could” and it was poor of him. should’ve let the ball pass thru. it was a routine save .
D’Ambrosio, Ansaldi and Nagatomo have to leave this club, 2017 is finally year zero and the end of the mediocre players inter had to deal with the last 5 years. I dont mind putting miangue and another primivera player into the starting 11. I mean can they be as bad as these guys are?
if u count making errors in 2 goals vs udinese and genoa and countless others, then yes d’ambrosio is better than ansaldi. no one said anything when that happened. lmao
i don’t understand if ansaldi is shit and santon maybe going,nagatomo isn’t good enough…but what about miangue? why would we loan him if he can play in inter?
Same Q here
Miangue is unreliable in defending and positioning. I’m a big fan of the kid, but we shouldn’t ruin his career under pressure.
He’s not ready
if he is better than ansaldi,how is he not ready?
for me is a bullshit when people say he’s not ready,he had two games played without an error or we can say played really well…look at other clubs how they work with youngsters!!
if juve did with pogba the same thing we are doing with our youngsters,they would not be class players (not at our club)…we keep on doing the same mistake etc. coutinho,pirlo,bonucci…and this will go over and over and over again because we don’t have balls to play gabigol,miangue,pinamonti more playing time….players like palacio,eder are still playing with no real contribution and with no more space to improve because they are old
Enough with not ready bullshit. I hate that phrase
Pioli knows better,, dont you see barbossa playing? It is the same reason why miangue wasn’t played.
i think it’s not about he can’t play,i think the real reason is he doesn’t have experience and pioli is scared of that it’s the same with gabigol,if ansaldi isn’t playing well and if candreva isn’t playing well you must have balls to play a young player not waiting for candreva or ansaldi to get their game right!
pioli is under pressure from suning and us the fans…i respect every decision he makes,because we are on the winning streak but for the future is better for players to develop in our team than being loaned to some team!
All we need is just a little bit patience. We knows that young players give regeneration, but it usually takes imbalance in the same time. The first target of Inter is champion’s league, if we have got stability then we will develop young player. Pragmatism is the first place now.
Why so much hate on ansaldi? He’s.way better than nagatomo. It’s terrifying everytime nagatomo has the ball. Ansaldi may did some mistakes, but he’s actually helping in attack and pressing. He’s only weak in defense and he needs to imrove it.
“He’s only weak in defense and he needs to imrove it.”
How is missplacing 10 crosses and making failed long shots attempts being “not weak” in attack? If you watched the Bologna games, he literally ruined 2 attacks in a row, one with sending a cross into the stands and right after with a pathetic long shot when he could’ve passed.
Well you couldnt expect him to deliver assist everytime he crosses. Many players cross like candreva, ambro, mario and most of them were waste ball. Many players attempted to shoot, some on target some off. Once ansaldi did that, everyone bashed him.
It’s not like I really like him or what. He’s still not a proper FB for us, but in my opinion he’s way better than alavaro pereira, nagatomo, telles, and dodo.
Telles was decent… naga was great when we first got him.
Yes, and you also said Melo and Guarin are great players. Lol
Naga was always a liability in defense. He had speed and combined really well with Palacio when he was at his best but the foolish defensive errors that let teams score on the counter were from day 1
same can be said about perisic and candreva…. how many misplaced crosses have they had this season? i can bet u its alot
I agree with you if we talk about Inter who want to fight for the CL spot. But if we talk about Inter who want to fight for Scudetto and CL competition, then we need a way better than him obviously
I think we should sign gonzalo rodriguez from fiorentina as a suitable defender to replace ranocchia. Fiorentina seem to want to let him go for peanuts so we should swoop on an experienced serie a defender
Too old!
Did you watch him against juve? i guess not lol
We have Suning now. The defender we should talk about these days are Hummels, Boateng, Lindolf, etc. For bench we have Andreolli and Medel. No need to add a 33 year old defender. Cause Miranda is 31 and I’d rather we just keep him.
Yes for Hummels, no for boateng.
and absolutely no time for another 33 years old, we already know it with serbian Nemanja V.
Prying Germans away from the Budesliga is almost astronomical. But it is a dream.
Now’s the time for us to switch to a 3-4-3 with 3m in defence kdog and his new bff gagliardini in the center with Mario broz behind perisic and candreva and icardi up front(and before anyone comments yes I know Mario is more affective in the center but this is the only way to drop the crappy fb)
I like it but tbh we should have experimented this vs Bologna to see how it works, not in the league.
Couldnt most of our first team was rested if bolonga hadnt scored 2 goal pioli wouldn’t have giving broz icardi or Candreva that much game time w will more than likely stick to 4-2-3-1 with ansaldi n dombro broz n joao on the bench
3-man defense is outdated shit and it doesn’t work for us
Out dated? I see some one never watch a rube game nor Chelsea under conti… reason it didn’t work under mazzarri was because our defense was shit now with the 3m can play it
Rube is playing like shit, did them win any single fuck outside of Serie A with 3Ds? No. As far as I remember all UCL winning teams have had 4Ds.
About Chelsea, it’s just a matter of time till their ass get whipped
Lol what r u serious this is ur argument the haven’t won CL and only in series A what EuropIan competition is inter currently In what in the Last 6 years have we come close to winning 5 straight titles playing with 3 man defence and champions league final so enough about 3 man defense u SIR HAD MADE UR SELF LOOK FOOLISH…..and made me feel dirty for defending Rube
We dont play UCL. Lol
the difference is rube have 3 decent defenders
It depends how you apply it and what is the profile of your players. Mazzari was set up to fail from the get go. Candreva has proven can play that role and Perisic with his speed will be pretty good IMO.
Dude, are you high or somethin?! We are on a fucking 7 game winning streak with 4-2-3-1 and you are suggesting to change systems?!
First of inter only won 6 games get ur facts right second who have we beaten in that run huh!? Lazio all the other we were favourite napoli destroy our fb with that 4-2-3-1 we won’t b the top teams with such obvious weekness everyone know our fb can’t defend shit so now against one of the weak team switch tactics
Does it matter? Do you understand that if we want to play defensive 3-4-3/3-5-2 our choices for RM/LM are still the same as our shitty fullbacks?! Pioli will not trust Candreva or Perisic to play RM/LM, so he will start our fullbacks. The only thing would be replacing our AMC in 4-2-3-1 with an extra defender, which completely disrupts our attack.
We lost the Napoli game in the first 10 minutes, so it was more lack of concentration rather than a problem with the system.
It is real football, not like FIFA17 you play at home. You can’t just switch system and through people at the position they are not comfortable with. You probably would throw Barbosa as a RW and Candreva as RM and play 3-4-3 in FIFA but realistically, I’d pick Dumbo over those two to defend.

I see u have a problem reading in my original post perisic n candreva play RW/LW so I won’t carry on this discussion any longer cause ur reading skill just terrible
Footnote:
Dumbo got pined by a 37 year old last saturday remember that
I’ve been saying that for several months but it’s very unlikely to happen now as Inter is on a good run of results so Pioli wouldn’t dare to change the formation. 3-4-1-2 could work too, with Candreva and Perisic on the wings and Joao/Banega behind Icardi and Eder/Gabigol
Pioli let me let you in on a little secret…
If Fullbacks don’t arrive in January you are going to have to outscore your opponents and come from behind most times for the rest of the season to win games. No rocket science. Simple as that.
Don’t you hate the economics of the game. Inter can’t move their fullbacks unless they display them as somewhat useful. Catch 22. Sucks to be the coach.
tbh beside miranda and murillo, our defense sucks ass. ansaldi is amazing going forward and good at defending, but he has lapses of concentration. while danilo is even worse.
Amazing going forward???
ansaldi? he is. much better than our recent fullbacks.
Even my 6 year old nephew can be better than our fullbacks
Even my 3 years old boy is already better than our fullbacks
He really isnt. He is just as bad.
He has easily been one of Inters worst players so far this season.
Terrible player.
Ansaldi amazing ? Lol have you seen his crosses ??
Holy wow, ansaldi is the lord of all lords, i must have seen different game or..
seriously? amazing going forward… by comparison naga is world class..
Okay to be fair.. Ansaldi is a much much worse version of Guarin in terms of consistency.. 5min of good play then another 1000min of shit..
when did inter fans get this sense of entitlement… the last time we had a good fullback was 4 years ago. u guys always want someone to hate on. ansaldi has been doing fine except some amateur mistakes lately. how many have our other fullback had in the last few years?
You got my backup, Pal. They never know how deadly Inter left flank in attacking. And Danilo is the real problem
THANK you. finally someone with a brain.
Danilo always our weakest spot, even when facing counter attack and run down candreva arrived first than him. terrible concentration, low physical ability (jump, strength, body ball), his main ability is face, his face.
True, ansaldi has good dribbling, passing through, and he knows when to attack and defend. But sometimes his lack on concentration put him in terrible situation.
