Inter coach Simone Inzaghi admitted that there was little he could take from today’s 1-0 defeat to Bologna in Serie A.
The Nerazzurri were poor throughout at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara and fell to a defeat thanks to a second half goal from Riccardo Orsolini.
Speaking in his post-match press conference following the loss, and as reported by FCInterNews.it, Inzaghi conceded that his side were not good enough to win and that there was not much that could be salvaged from the performance or the loss.
“Very little can be taken from this game. In the second half we did something but there were warning signs on Acerbi’s pass where we were open,” the former Lazio coach claimed.
“The second half was better but we have to understand why these things happen. We’re tired after European games but we’ve been doing it for many years.”
Inter have struggled to match important wins with victories in games immediately afterwards, whilst their away form has been a cause for concern this season, with Inzaghi addressing the issue.
“If you go and see after the Champions League we have some problems, and away from home they become even more pronounced.
“We have to do better, the first half was insufficient then in the second half we created the conditions to win but we conceded a goal that had to be avoided. Away from San Siro we must do better, this year the points are not enough.”
However, the coach insisted that he hadn’t been let down by his players, and took the responsibility for the defeat.
“I’ve never felt betrayed. The boys have always given everything, I’m sorry that after three days we don’t take the pitch in the same way. We are Inter and we must do better.
“We are Inter, after a defeat they will feel criticism and it is right, I am the first person responsible. We have to be clear and analyse this first half in which we lacked in all the components we put on the pitch.”
Inter look to get back on track when they host Lecce in Serie A next Sunday.
