Inter coach Simone Inzaghi feels that the team’s approach to getting out of a crisis has always focused around finding positive solutions, rather than looking for someone to blame.
Speaking in a press conference after the Nerazzurri’s 3-0 win over Empoli, as reported by FCInterNews, the coach spoke about how the recent crisis in form has been dealt with behind the scenes, and also gave his reaction to the win at the Stadio Carlo Castellani.
There is no doubt that Inter’s form over the past few weeks had devolved into full-on crisis mode.
Four wins and one draw in five matches left the Nerazzurri’s hopes of finishing in the top four of the Serie A table hanging on by a thread, a big problem considering that this has been their minimum objective for the campaign.
“In the twenty months that I’ve been here, the club directors have always been behind us,” Inzaghi said.
“We’re always talking, but we never try to look for someone to blame, we look for solutions,” he added.
Of the match-winning performance of striker Romelu Lukaku, Inzaghi said that “He’s very important for us, we brought him back so that he could give us days like this.”
“He had an injury problem of the sort that he’d never had before, but now he’s putting all his effort in getting back to being the kind of player that he had been,” the coach added.
“He has to keep going like this, and work the same way that the other strikers also are in training, so that I always have a tough decision to make and fresh players at my disposal,” he said.
Asked how the suspension of the fifteen-point deduction to Juventus changes things for Inter, Inzaghi said that “I look at the current table the same way as I evaluated it before.”
“Now Juve are third, and today they can go second,” he continued.
“I asked for things to be decided quickly, because this situation is difficult for everyone, even for Juventus.”
