Legendary Inter midfielder Luis Suarez has voiced his views on Inter’s recent poor form which has seen them slip to fourth place in the Serie A table and as good as lose any chance whatsoever of winning the Serie A title.

“The impression now is that now we do not know which way to turn. This situation is not normal, there was a clear involution and before the stop the form had been so-so,” he explained in an interview with Italian news outlet TuttoMercatoWeb, earlier on today.

“Many points have been lost on the way and I think that even the club management and the coach find it difficult to find the right solution to the problem. There have been too many ups and downs.

“This year Inter had a duty to compete with Juventus until the end of the season but now I here that there are plans to change a lot for next year, but this is not positive. If you do this you must do it all right.

“What remains is the Europa League where one can hope in an exploit.”

The Spaniard was then asked whether Antonio Conte should remain in charge of the club amid reports that his future with the club is in question.

“I think the rumours about the coach are exaggerations. A manager does not determine if his side wins, it is the players who win.

“I have always maintained the idea that the coach must not do damage and that the difference is made by quality players. We must ask ourselves what the value of the squad is.

“I see players with little personality and lack of technical ability to aim very high. If the matches are go poorly, the players of a high level have to take control of the situation.”

“Everyone thought that with his arrival there would be wins but if you do not have the team you do not win. I would like to give another example. AC Milan are about to sack Pioli but to see the value of the coach I say they should leave the same team to Rangnick and then let’s see.”

In conclusion Suarez, who was part of the Grande Inter side of the 1960s, spoke on current Inter midfielder Christian Eriksen, who has struggled as of late.

“It is a strange situation. He played well in England and also in the national team. It could be an issue of character. Perhaps he cannot express himself in the role of leader and cannot fulfil these functions,

“It is one thing to play a normal part but it is another matter to be a guide both on and off of the field. Maybe he is not used to it. He has been a disappointment but in two months you do not forget how to play football.”

Two-time Balon d’Or winner Suarez joined Inter in 1961 from Barcelona and spent nine years with the club before moving on to Sampdoria, where he spent three years before retiring.

Whilst at Inter Suarez made 329 appearances across all competitions, in which he scored 55 goals and helped the team to win seven trophies.
