Inter restart the season with a draw at home at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza against Roma thanks to a late goal from Matias Vecino that keeps the 3 point distance in the league table against Roma, at least for now. Inter coach Luciano Spalletti gave his opinions of the game in an interview with Premium Sport
Has Santon apologized to you after having done so to the fans?
“He does not have to apologize to anyone. It is easy to talk as a bystander and another thing to be on the pitch. Who should he apologize to? These are things that happen. Santon is a guy that trains in the right way with the right attitude, it is common that you misjudge a ball and what about the other players that did not give him a hand? If he apologizes to me he does not play another game. We are Inter and we have to have the courage to continue on the right path and fight with teams like Lazio and Napoli, strong teams with a strong character.”
Inter reacted strongly after the 70th minute, what is missing in order to have as high level of play from the start?
“I think 70 minutes seem a bit exaggerated, Handanovic did not make the saves that Alisson did. We failed a lot in our construction phase, they were all over us taking away the available space and we needed to be quicker with the ball. If you can not do this during the game it means that you are lacking a bit of self-esteem and strength. We must rely on our strength and our playing capabilities, again we lost too many balls during the build-up phase. In the second half when we corrected everything in terms of pressure, we saw some really good plays.”
Can Brozovic improve more?
“With Brozovic and a Borja Valero deep there is a certain filter compared to Gagliardini when Roma start with Nainggolan and the others. Brozovic has proven himself on many occasions and if he shows good form I will play him. I always chose the players that I think will form the best possible team.”
for the sake of primavera alumnus, i will keep supporting santon :p
Gaglia could be our next Motta, and Borja could be our next Chucu. But they are failed to become like them..
I agree on gaglia ,but I have an hard time seeing a Borja Valero ” failure”.
He is the only midfielder we have right now that cannot be substituted or disputed at all, in my view.
The improvement in quality can only come from his feet and vision.
He hasn’t provided any quality or vision since October. He’s old, slow and runs out of gas to quickly. Decent in defending, but his passing…I don’t see any vision in him. 85% of his passes yesterday were to either Skriniar or Miranda and the other 15% was to Cancelo on the wing…
You watch a different sport than I, some altogether separate sport.
Ya I watch football and you watch lalaland you fucking dolt.
Listen, don’t participate to a discussion if you are completely psychotic.
Remain there.
In your mental institution, within the padded walls.
That explains it. You are blinded because you idolize Valero (really out of all players Valero?) Yup you are a dolt. Peace out.
Fuck off
How gagli turned into Italian Kuzamanovic (or Italian Mariga?) is saddening really.
Quality is decreasing in midfield. a lot different with beginning of season.
I guess he didn’t turn into but he has always been but inter sold fans snake oil ….
Last game we played wihout Gaglia coincidentally was also the last one we won :
Inter 5 – Chievo 0.
Can’t agree more. He slows up the tempo too much, and all he can do is to pass the ball back and sometimes put the pressure on his defenders by his weak passes.
Exactly.
I call it The Gargano Equation:
He recovers 2 balls to then lose 4.
Gaglia is a little bigger and better on the air, but Gargano was slightly quicker and better with his passing, and that’s saying something.
Gargano – Gaglia.. same value, same valence in the team economy.
Exactly! Gagliardini has to play when we are ahead 2-0.
Not when we are 0-1 by Udinese.. do you remember?
He was the first sub. Nothing changed…
Exactly.
Actually something did change:
We got worse.
True but Inter has no DMF and no other option. Brozo and Mario are dreadful in defense
Gaglia last season is playing in vecino’s position right now. He’s a a box to box, not a dmf. He used to move more often to help attack, meanwhile right now his duty is to protect DF and to distribute balls which he is failed to deliver.
A lot of people don’t realise that he didn’t drop in quality he has just had different instructions. He should be allowed more freedom for link up.
Exactly. Bravo. He’s not playing his natural position / game.
He doesn’t have speed, dribbling, passing and shooting required to be a box-to-box guy.
Frankly, he is mediocre and again we paid to much for an overhyped guy.
Exactly! Spalletti was promised a DMF when Kondo left which never came so he had to put Gaglia there because of his physicality but it’s not his natural position hence he lost confidence
Right call by Spaletti. He needs to take the pressure off his players. Every player after moving to Inter forget how to freaking dribble… Why is that>? Because of the ridiculous pressure we put on players as Inter fans! Santon is done for me, now Dalbert should start, until he makes a mistake like Santon did…
we concede less when Dalbert playing is the fact that many people here can’t see
I dont want to defend santon but dalbert minutes are way lesser than santon.. i agree that santon is done and play dalbert more tho
Dalbert is better defensively than santon, but he cant attack for shit
we really need a new LB next season.
I expect more from sabatini, even for 20 mil we spend on dalbert i can think many better name
Yes but more than that… it is hard to think of a left back that’s worse than Dalbert in ball touching and control ,in passing…
I don’t know of any one and I could go through the list of all serie A midtable left backs.
They are all obviously better.
inter has continued their sinking mode and there is NO END TO IT
with this SPALLETI MORON on the bench !! forget CL, forget improvement in playing football, forget everything, HE IS USELESS !!
roma was SMART enough to CHEAT US with this bald idiot !
trolas ili ozbiljno?
koristi mozak !!
ako ti ne ide, skontat ćeš za koji mjesec. jebi ga,
neko uvijek mora da vidi unaprijed, nisam ja kriv
“što je meni Bog dao” hehe … javi se za koji mjesec kad sve ode u tri kurca, a do tada uživaj u tipičnom interovskom samozavaravanju.
glupi ljudi !
— uh, baš me nasekira LOL!
ali jebiga, sve neke mlakonje zadovoljne s mrvicama, a
INTER TONE LI TONE, naročito onaj debil stefanović,
blokirao sam debila, da me ne zamara svojim sranjima.
ovaj kreten spaleti neda da se PREGLUPI SANTON ZAMISLI NAD SVOJOM GREŠKOM ?!?!?! heeeeeeeej, kakav je to jebeni trener ?!?!
ma, morončina na n-tu !
Oh good that you clarified all that for everybody to understand.
Now we get it.
ae, ne slazem se definitvno sa onih 6 utakmica bez mjenjanja momcadi, sa mladima se lose radi, a povjerenje nagatomu i Santonu je uzasno, al ajde, nije ni trener toliko kriv sto Perisic i Candreva 50% utakmica odigravaju ko dva drva, eto, da se mene pita, a ne pita se, ali da se pita, Handa, Dalbert-Rannochia-Skriniar-D’Ambrosio, Gagla-Borja, Perisic-Candreva-Cancelo, Icardi, pa nek mjesa stopere i bekove zavisno o protivniku, sigurno je da nemamo dovoljno siroku klupu za neke velike rezultate, a i siguran sam da nemamo bolju opciju(jeftiniju) za trenera, mislim, svi znaju da Splaettieve momcadi imaju padove u sezoni, ali mu se ne moze osporiti, da u neku ruku cini cuda s ovim sto ima, ali, svatko ima pravo za svoje misljenje, cinjenica je da od zajma 2010 Inter tone sve dublje sa dugovima i nesredjenim politikama svakog novog trenera, moramo se puno zahvaliti i Thohiru i njegovom genijalnom dvojcu Mirabelli i Fassone, srecom, sada kormilare Milanom, pa nek oni preuzmu nasu sudbinu za promjenu, a Spaletti ce se vratiti, mnozda nije trener za naslov, ali za udrit zdravu filozofiju i rezultat je vise nego dobar trener, nazalost, ne dovoljno da prestane ponavljati neke glupe greske, ali mislim da je i sirina klupe jako zasluzna za njegove odluke
When THEY had Spalletti we were ALWAYS behind them in each one of the last few years , now we have him , we spent altogether pretty much ..0 in the transfer market and now ..what do you know ..we are still ahead of Roma.
You must be on some particular type of drugs , sincerely.
And NOT a good one.
We have been doing almost nothing but losing from Spalletti’s Roma in the last few years ..in almost each single game.
I don’t know what else to say …some posters just…
stefanović MOORON,
DO FUCK OFF FROM ME , IDIOT !!!
You have some real personal issues man.
you too.
you are blocked from now on, monkey !
” blocked” ?
..from what ?
..and who cares exactly ?
LOL
Try smoke regular cigarettes sometimes , also drinking water here and there ..it’s not all that bad. trust me.
we need to sell Perisic and Brozovic only to kick nozanneti from this site
Don’t waste your time on this troll. Just block him like I did long time ago. You’ll never see his comments again
To be fair Brozovic and Perisic sucks.
I was the first one to criticize somewhat indolent perišić’s behaviour,… as it looked to me, because I know what he can do when he is 100% in the game. his form was poor, yet, he depends on balls passed from midfielders, the same way as icardi depends on good creative player. it seems perišić’s form is on the rise ??
I hope so man…
Has Santon apologized to you after having done so to the fans?
“He does not have to apologize to anyone.
——–
spalle, YOU ARE WORSE THAN
rano, santon, naga, brozović, joao mario, …
have you ever won any championship, YOU BALD MORON ????
NO WONDER ROMA KICKED YOU IN YOUR STUPID ASS, IDIOT !
Yes he has, with Zenit St. Petersburg. Support the coach if you’re an interista.
SHEEPLE , SHEEPLE … https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3b1a65602b2298fb7291e42f0b5f4f480cd9206264c9b14c0831241b47686442.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9034e6eb1527691cbd2975e414db1cdb55f2dcc2d9909fae3bc3dad16570bbd7.jpg
and after he won, what happened ?!?!
are you a kid?
ugly soraya,
it is so refreshing to block stupid people … you are blocked !
Valero, Veccino and Gagliardini are not material for Inter. Gagliardini can improve as he is young, Brozovic as well (if he put his mind into it), the rest are history. We need FAR better players cause if we go to CL with these lot, we will be humiliated. And somebody needs to inform Perisic that he is getting paid to do this job, so he should actually try. I want to see more of Dalbert as well. It might sound as a joke, but even Gabigol would be a better No10, comparing to what we have now…..
we need COACH “!! just listen to that ausilio’s shit eater …
No star players will come to this Inter if there is no CL
i know; right? what the hell is perisic doing? some plays he hit just hoping for the best, when he had the time, space and support to conjure up something much much better. if he is but hurt from not going to Man U, then ship him off to wherever they would take him ASAP
Out of the 3 I’ll defend Gaglia. He’s being asked to play out of his natural position/game, doing more defending.
Vecino is very good, only if we had 3 Vecinos in the middle of the park, you would understand. Valero is old and has to play every 14 days. Gagliardini is only for back up when we are 2-0 ahead…
