Inter’s final 20 minutes against Sassuolo could well be a blessing in disguise for their Champions League encounter with Borussia Dortmund tomorrow according to a report in today’s paper edition of Corriere dello Sport.
Inter found themselves 4-1 up at the MAPEI Stadium and looked to have completely killed the game off but became extremely complacent, particularly at the back, as they went on to concede two goals and almost completely throw that lead away.
Antonio Conte was far from pleased with how the team failed to see the game out which they should have done with relative ease and as a result, since the game, he has made it his mission to ensure the team’s attention is at peak levels.
This could well be a difference maker against the Bundesliga outfit, who will have to do without star men Paco Alcacer and Marco Reus for the match at San Siro, as Inter search for their first victory in the group stage, one they need if they wish to have any chance of progressing.
