In the aftermath of tonight’s game between and Inter and Benevento, Inter coach Luciano Spalletti discussed different things when talking to RAI Sport, starting with a brief summary of the game: “Currently we are in a very difficult situation, according to me we suffered a lot during the entire game, not only during the first 60 minutes. For us this was a difficult game, in the first half we tried to put pressure on Benevento, in the second half we managed to create some problems for our opponents.”
Spalletti was impressed by Benevento stating that: “They made us lose energy, but most of all there were 2-3 times in the match where we risked a lot where we overdid things. At the moment we are not capable of not doing that.
“I am responsible and the first to critisize myself. We always ty to improve, but this game we won fairly easily. Of course the club monitors the team, the results and me and they have the final say whether or not to fire me. As everybody could see, we had a game with few challenges. I think that we needed to play the kind of game we did at the beginning, launching the ball high, then we tried to esstablish a good offensive game, otherwise the fans will start to show their disappointment. Anyway, I think that we deserved the win” the former Roma coach continued.
“We have the right physicality in the box, therefore it is an advantage for us having the corner kick. We orchestrated a prefect corner.”
“This is something we have already dealt with. We have to guide our players in the best way possible. Players that are on an excellent level from the start of the season until now. For the rest, our administrator Antonello already had his say and I can only agree with him.”
In conclusion Spalletti commented briefly on the upcoming derby and the importance of the fans stating that: “Milan is on a good run now and they come to this derby more relaxed, but why should not we be relaxed as well? Also today the crowd was involved in cheering us and giving us support, in an incredible way.”
I dont see the point of Spaletti keeps taking the blame, while no changes in the player’s mentality.
Spalletti are you getting too old to properly evaluate things. Since winter brake if we look at the standings only for the games played after the break we are at the last place at the bottom. That was not a deserved win at all. Wake up
dont take him seriously. he knows very well we were pure shit, but must protect his players from the media
The thing is guys, Milan and Napoli will come out and play. Bologna, Genoa and Benevento just wanted to sit back and hit Inter on the break, feign injury and roll on the floor timewasting, it worked for Genoa because of Rannos OG, but in these situations Inter are poor – and have been for 5/6 years. Going into these 2 games, (Milan & Napoli) one question – when was the last time a top 6 side bet Inter in the league? I am not sure myself but it must be last spring because it certainly was not this season. In fact Udinese (10th) are the highest placed side to have beaten Inter this season. Inter are expert at draws, and I suspect these two games will be tight also.
I think it was 30 April 2017 when Napoli beat Inter 0-1 in Milan. 10 months ago. I know they are playing terrible, but a Milan derby is just whats needed to shock them into shape.
Yeah, especially when Benenvento forwards missed couple of clear cut chances and the ref didn’t call a clear penalty for them.
the fans deserve more than a lucky goal
I’m guessing that Spaletti couldn’t hear the boos of dissatisfaction all through the game, or the jeers when he brought on Brozovic yet again- and as for that little wa#ker smirking, don’t get me started!
Starting to think Spaletti is seriously deluded, overall a terrible performance, god help us in the derby!
Yeah, with this performance we will be terrorized againt Bilan and Napoli. Spalletti is either too stubborn or too stupid.
