Stefano Pioli spoke to PremiumSport after the 2-2 draw with Torino: “We played against an aggressive team, but we adapted later in this game. We made ongoing errors that did not allow us to attack better. There is regret for the chances wasted, but it was a good game. we wanted to win and we did not succeed. Is the Champions League out of reach? I would say so, yes. Now we can recover energy, mentally and physically [over the international break]. I was expecting something more but now we must prepare ourselves well for the final part of the season, we know that it will not be easy. We find ourselves in the wrong situations too often with not enough hustle and bustle. We could have done better in the midfield, it was a complicated match and we had chances to win it. Today wasn’t the best performance of the season, we know that from a technical point of view we must do better. My future? I am happy with the confidence and support shown in the work we are doing. Today I’m not happy, I’m not worried about my future, now get ready for the next games.”

I dont blame Pioli. The damage already been done in the first 2 months of the season
I saw the interview.
He did not mean ” out of reach” that way.
He meant more ” a little further for now”.
Lost in translation?
Very unexpected from this site. ..
shouldn’t be that unexpected when you see it comes from the writer.. his translations are basically from google translate and has always been weak
Champions piu lontana? Direi di si… I can’t fathom how one can translate that to “champions league out of reach” even with google translate and 0% knowledge of italian language. This guy is just playing ball games in his own alternate reality…
You know…people who work the night shift for some ..packaging company or something, and have 237 euros in the bank are actually ” worried about their future ” in case they get fired.
Pioli worst case scenario is that he goes back making 1 and a half m a year instead of 3, doing what he loves to do, owning a house and with 5 m savings in the bank.
That would put all these ” worries ” about my job into perspective if I was in his shoes.
Correct Assessment of this current Inter side:
1.) Champions League dream for next season is fading aay into the distance.
2.) We need decent wingers and full-backs. (All the top teams in UCL have better options than Perisic, Candreva, Gabriel, Eder and Biabiany ~ Ansaldi, Nagatomo, D’Ambrosio and Santon). In a real team, Perisic & Candreva won’t even get dressed or at most will rot on the bench.
3.) Perisic is a complete idiot that should not be starting games (he has shown repeatedly that he only plays above average once every 5 games – the statistics don’t lie).
4.) To return to prime time football, only 4-5 players from this current team (Handa, Icardi, Kondo, YYY and ZZZ) can be of any use at all – the rest should transfer to Lazio or Crotone.
5.) Mbappe and Berardi can’t be as terrible as Perisic & Candreva – a half decent winger would have buried at least one of the chances that brain-dead Perisic wasted today. He did the exact same thing against Milan earlier this season.
6.) We need a proper, capable defensive midfielder, not jack of many trade master of none Gagliardini (he’ll be useless against much capable opposing midfielders in the UCL should we even qualify).
7.) Suning and the fat, useless Indonesian president should take responsibility for making this year another year zero all over again (changing the bench 2 weeks before season kicked-off & their stupidity looking for a “big-name, popular coach” to play sexy, champagne football in a pragmatic league is legendary and beyond idiotic).
8.) Judging by the way we played 2day, Napoli & Lazio would both have to uffer a major natural disaster like Chape to hand us a lifeline in the UCL race.
9.) Words cannot do justice to the anger I feel deep inside me right now.
10.) Our management should just shut up, fix the loopholes in the team and not buy another bunch of useless “Gabigols” & Perisic & Candreva that this team clearly does not need.
I think it would be idiotic to sack him if he doesn’t reach CL. We were 11th when he arrived ffs and he joined mid-season. His revival of Inter is rather miraculous. Unless we get a top coach like Simeone at the start of the summer, so he has full 2 months and time to get players he wants, I wouldn’t replace Pioli no way.
Ofc we’ll sack him only for a top coach like Simeone, nobody will replace Pioli with Giampaolo/Inzaghi/etc. Hopefully Simeone will accept the job this summer cuz we need to get out of the mediocrity asap.
Can you really say that with confidence considering oru schenanigans with coaches since the treble?
This time, yes, the chinese trust Ausilio and he s the one that brought us Gagliardini and Pioli, so I’m positive that he’ll have a word in all this situation.
Yes.
What do people think?
Is he supposed to be some kind of magical wizard,the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and the Buddha joined together with Houdini ,to get confirmed?
Not even Mourinho in his first season brought us much more of what we already had.
It was the perfect summer transfer one year later,bringing Milito,Snejder,Lucio ,Eto’o ,Motta..inserted into an already strong,stable team, to make us into a “perfect team” ,meaning a complete team in every role( even thou VERY advanced in age..oldest squad in all the UCL) ,
and the stability of the same good coach for 2 years,to create the triplete.
So:
1)
Stability.
When the coach is working out all right work with him to get better step by step,give him the time and stability to make the correct changes and gradual betterments.
2)
A very smart summer transfer market.
More Gagliardini ,and Rodriguez the left back,the right players in the right role.
Less money wasted in Gabi and Caprari,the little bets on offensive young talents that do not make a real difference for us NOW.
