Antonio Cassano has warned Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi after a stressful 1-0 Serie A victory against newcomers Venezia.
During his latest discussion on the Twitch channel Vivaelfutbolreal, as reported by FCInterNews, Cassano blasted Inter’s performance against hot relegation candidates.
Lautaro Martinez headed home an inch-perfect cross from Federico Dimarco to inspire the Nerazzurri to a narrow win on Sunday.
However, Inter’s showing flattered to deceive.
After wasting numerous clear-cut chances on either side of halftime, they nearly dropped two points at the death.
Luckily, VAR came to their rescue, disallowing Venezia’s last-gasp equalizer for a handball.
Despite whittling down the gap on pacesetters Napoli to a single point, Inter should’ve done much better.
Cassano believes Inzaghi fears Antonio Conte.
“Scudetto? There is pressure on Inzaghi; if he doesn’t win, he’s out: that’s what I think,” he said.
“Inzaghi has a ‘fear’ of Conte because he knows he is always lurking.
“Either he gets a +20 lead by February and can decide to play the Primavera, or he is worried.”

Inter’s display against Venezia left Cassano unimpressed.
“It should have ended 7-0, but then it’s a match where you risk conceding a goal to Oristanio at 0-0 because you don’t score.
“At the last second, you can’t complicate your life after already dropping points in previous matches.
“That incident happened, did you see the handball? We simple fans didn’t see the right images.
“I didn’t understand if there was contact.
“In any case, despite a thousand issues, Inter finds itself just one point behind Napoli, with the chance to overtake them next Sunday.
“They are by far the strongest team, but they lack solidity; we’ll see if they improve over time.”
