It is only three matches and a couple weeks into the Serie A season, but Inter coach Simone Inzaghi is already starting to feel the pressure.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Corriere della Sera, who suggest that the coach must find a way to give his team “shock therapy” as he is already feeling discomfort in his position.

Inter’s season had basically been going according to plan across their first two matches, wins against Lecce and Spezia, but a 3-1 loss to Lazio has seen things come off the rails a bit.

Inzaghi is trying to rebuild an Inter team who have lost a key player from last season in the form of Ivan Perisic, and to find a way to make the returning Romelu Lukaku the focal point in attack.

So far the coach has failed to either make up for the loss of Perisic or get the best out of Lukaku, problems that were laid bare in the team’s loss at the hands of the Biancocelesti.

Issues of fitness, tactical cohesion, and balance across the pitch between both the starting eleven and the substitutions have been creeping in since preseason, but Friday’s loss at the Stadio Olimpico was the first time that they’ve been exposed so clearly.

Now, Inzaghi knows that his mission is to dramatically reverse course, and quickly, because he is more than aware that if the underlying problems do not improve soon, then the results could render his own position into a difficult one.
