Former Inter Milan striker Nicola Ventola insists Simone Inzaghi made the right calls against Parma despite the negative outcome.

The Nerazzurri entered the Ennio Tardini eyeing three routine points that would put them closer to sealing their second Serie A title in a row.

The defending champions started on a bright note. Matteo Darmian tormented his former employers with a well-taken shot to open the score.

Marcus Thuram then made it 2-0 before the half-time break, albeit he opted against celebrating his fluke goal, perhaps out of respect for his father, Lilian (a former Parma player), who was in the stands.

Nevertheless, Inter somehow managed to squander a healthy two-goal lead. Parma pulled off a remarkable comeback, forcing the Nerazzurri to settle for a single point.

This unexpected twist certainly infuriated many punters who didn’t see this one coming. While sports betting can be stressful at times, online casinos are a little less demanding. So perhaps it’s time to consider visiting some of the pokies online platforms, as these games are simple to play and offer users the chance to win real money instantly.

As for Inter fans, they have no other choice but to tighten their seatbelts and brace themselves for what should be a tense season finale, with the club fighting on three different fronts.

Therefore, Inzaghi has been opting to rotate his lineup and rest his key players whenever he can. Perhaps this is why he opted to make swift changes in the second half against Parma, with his two enjoying a 2-0 lead.

Although this approach swiftly backfired, with Parma staging a comeback, Ventola insists the manager had it right at the time.

“I agree with the choices Inzaghi made. He doesn’t have to justify himself,” said the retired striker during his appearance on the Viva El Futbol podcast via FcInterNews.

“If you are Inter, at this moment, with the squad you have, you can allow yourself to make these choices when you have a 2-0 lead over Parma.

“It was a mental issue. Inter are playing in three competitions. On Saturday, they were quite in control. I defend Inzaghi’s choices in this advantageous situation”, he concluded.

Luckily for Inter, their misstep in Parma wasn’t too costly, as Napoli also dropped points in Bologna.

Therefore, the Beneamata preserved their three-point advantage at the top of the Serie A table.
