Simone Inzaghi admits that there are no excuses for a team like Inter Milan to fail to win in a match like this afternoon’s against Bologna.
Speaking to InterTV after the match, via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri coach rued his team failing to take all three points in a match where they had taken an early 2-0 lead.
Inter seemed to be in full control after their second goal went in against Bologna.
The Nerazzurri were already 2-0 up before even fifteen minutes had passed.
However, it was a penalty that gave Bologna a route back into the match. A clumsy challenge by Inter captain Lautaro Martinez inside the area on Bologna’s Lewis Ferguson undid the Argentine’s brilliant effort to make it 2-0.
Some complacency was apparent from Inter afterwards. And a goal from Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee saw the Emilian team complete their fightback.
Inter still had the better part of a full half of football in which to restore their advantage after squandering their two-goal advantage.
But in the end, despite some changes from Inzaghi, they were unable to.
Now Inter have to go into the international break reflecting on how they managed to drop points for the second time this season in a match where they had looked to be cruising.
Simone Inzaghi: Unacceptable For Inter Milan To Drop Points After 2-0 Advantage Vs Bologna
“There’s a lot of bitterness on my part and on the part of the guys,” Inzaghi said after the match.
“Because we played the match that we had to. But then we paid for two moments where we lost concentration.”
“After taking a 2-0 lead, a team like ours has to win,” the Inter coach added.
Inzaghi said that there’s anger “About the result above all. Because based on what we did we would’ve deserved a different result.”
“But that’s how football is. It’s a hundred minutes where you need very high levels of concentration.”
“In the last two matches here at home against Sassuolo and Bologna, we wanted a different result,” the Nerazzurri coach added. “We needed to maintain greater concentration.”
As far as the matches against Red Bull Salzburg and Torino after the break, Inzaghi said that “We have to play well and be ready.”
“Now we’ve finished the first cycle of matches,” he added. ‘The players who remain here will continue to work in training.”
“The others will deservedly go to be with their national teams. And then we will all come back here and regroup, and then another new and intense cycle of matches will begin.”
