Inter Milan Coach Simone Inzaghi Frustrated Over Costly Errors By Lautaro Martinez & Yann Sommer

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi will be left ruing costly errors by goalkeeper Yann Sommer and striker Lautaro Martinez.

Today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, note how just a couple of individual errors seemed to be enough to shift the momentum of matches as the Nerazzurri dropped points in Serie A against Sassuolo and Bologna.

Inzaghi was keen to stress that the responsibility in Inter’s loss to Sassuolo and draw against Bologna belonged to the whole team.

The coach was hardly going to single out players for one poor moment when the team as a whole had every chance to do better.

But in the view of the Corriere, Inzaghi may well be privately shaking his head at two particular errors.

Inter Coach Inzaghi Shaking His Head At Sommer & Lautaro Errors

The first came from goalkeeper Sommer.

The 34-year-old former Bayern Munich keeper’s experience is undeniable.

So is his quality. Sommer arrived at Inter with a reputation as an excellent shot-stopper, and has so far proven why with some important saves for the Nerazzurri.

But there’s no denying that the Swiss could have done a lot better with Nedim Bajrami’s equalizer for Sassuolo.

Sommer almost let the Neroverdi midfielder’s shot go straight through him.

It was a weak moment that seemed to radiate through the entire team.

Sassuolo grew in confidence, whilst Inter struggled to handle the energized Emilians. It was a Domenico Berardi screamer that sealed the statement win for the Neroverdi, but the shift in momentum could be traced to Sommer’s error.

Had the 34-year-old simply gotten hold of Bajrami’s shot, Inter may well have seen out Sassuolo’s best period.

And in the case of Martinez, it was hard to see why the Argentine decided to wrestle Bologna midfielder Lewis Ferguson to the ground inside the penalty area on a Rossoblu corner.

Martinez is Inter’s captain this season for a reason. He is the player who typically sets the tone for the Nerazzurri all over the pitch.

So it was surely disappointing to Inzaghi that the player who he had given the armband over the summer would be so rash as to engage in a bit of pointless – and costly – grappling in the penalty area.

Moreover, that moment came right after Martinez had given Inter a 2-0 advantage with a stunning long-range strike.

It had looked like Inter were cruising. And it may have felt that way for Bologna.

But Martinez’s baffling error meant that the Rossoblu suddenly had a goal back and wind in their sails.
