Inter manager Antonio Conte holding off making substitutes proved costly for Inter last night according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
Inter fell 1-0 behind to Hellas Verona just minutes after the game started and whilst Inter managed to overturn things and take the lead shortly after the second half began due to a quickfire double, Inter could not see the match out.
Moments prior to Miguel Veloso scoring an equaliser for the hosts, Lautaro Martinez missed a golden opportunity to put Inter 3-1 ahead.
Despite some players being visibly tired, Conte delayed making substitutes until the 70th minute and only made three of the five changes available to him and the report implies that this was a factor in Inter’s inability to see the game out.
As a result of the draw, Inter remain in fourth place, one point behind third placed Atalanta, three behind second placed Lazio and 10 behind league leaders Juventus.
