Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi feels it’s important for his team to keep their focus to the maximum to avoid draws like the one against Bologna before the international break.
The coach spoke to Italian broadcaster DAZN, via FCInterNews, ahead of this evening’s Serie A match against Bologna.
Inter were deeply frustrated to draw against Bologna a couple weeks ago.
The Nerazzurri had looked to be cruising after going 2-0 up inside fifteen minutes.
Moreover, each of the previous two times that Inter had faced the Rossoblu at the San Siro, they had won by a very emphatic 6-1 scoreline.
Therefore, there was a great sense of having missed an opportunity when Inter allowed Bologna back into the match.
There were two moments in which Inter really switched off.
The first was when Nerazzurri captain Lautaro Martinez inexplicably brought down Bologna midfielder Lewis Ferguson in the penalty area on a corner kick.
And then the second was a breakdown of the defensive line that allowed Rossoblu striker Joshua Zirkzee space. The Dutchman punished Inter for their mix-up.
And after that, the Nerazzurri were unable to find the goal to regain their advantage.
Inter Coach Inzaghi: Need Concentration To Avoid More Draws Like Bologna
For his part, Nerazzurri coach Inzaghi sees a lack of concentration as the culprit.
And the coach feels that that is exactly what the coach feels that his team need much more of this evening against Torino.
“You always have to keep your concentration high. You have to keep working with intensity in training.”
The Inter coach noted that “The match got reopened by a penalty. We needed to focus more there.”
“Clearly we’re working on these aspects,” he added.
As for whether he’s worried about a bit of a lack of attacking depth, Inzaghi said that “That’s a problem that a number of teams have.”
“Every coach’s dream is to have everyone available,” he noted.
“Unfortunately today Arnautovic is missing in attack, but also Cuadrado. Two players who would have helped us in terms of being able to rotate.”
