Legendary former Nerazzurri captain Beppe Bergomi feels that at the moment Inter Milan are “creating a lot, but taking risks at the back.”
Bergomi spoke about his former team on Sky Sport Italia after yesterday’s Serie A win over Venezia, via FCInter1908.
Inter beat Venezia by a narrow 1-0 scoreline yesterday evening.
But in truth, the match could have seen more goals than just the solitary header from Inter captain Lautaro Martinez.
There were several good chances for Inter to score more.
Some profligate finishing as well as outstanding goalkeeping by Inter-owned Venezia keeper Filip Stankovic prevented the Nerazzurri from scoring any more.
There was also a Henrikh Mkhitaryan goal that came at the end of a flowing team move, but which was disallowed for a narrow offside by Federico Dimarco.
At the other end, meanwhile, Venezia had a late goal of their own ruled out for an attacking handball.
And that was far from the only decent opportunity to score that the Lagunari had.
Like Stankovic at the other end, Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer had to produce some excellent stops in order to preserve his team’s clean sheet.
Beppe Bergomi: “Inter Milan Creating A Lot But Taking Risks At The Back”
After the match, former Inter captain Bergomi said that “Anyone who’s watched Inter’s last few matches recently knows that nothing could be taken for granted.”
“As long as they controlled the pace of the game as in the first half, they created chances. Even if they also conceded one.”
“In the second half the match opened up,” Bergomi noted.
“The energy levels also dropped. So they failed to defend as a team.”
“So they were taking a risk at the back,” Bergomi argued. “But they also created a lot.”
He suggested that yesterday’s match “Confirmed the trend of this season, nothing has changed – they can create a lot, but there is always a sense of danger at the back.”
