Beppe Bergomi does not view Inter Milan as viable Serie A title contenders, especially after a 4-3 defeat at Juventus.
Speaking to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri legend deemed last season’s runners-up unequipped to fight for the Scudetto.
Despite recovering from an early deficit, Inter slumped to a gut-wrenching loss in Turin on Saturday.
Indeed, Cristian Chivu’s side turned the game on its head despite trailing twice in the first half.
Heavily linked with a summer exit, Hakan Calhanoglu delivered a standout performance.
The Turkish playmaker bagged a brace, beating Michele Di Gregorio from outside the box on both occasions.
Furthermore, Marcus Thuram returned to the scoresheet in a high-stakes game to complete the turnaround.
However, his brother, Khephren Thuram, initiated Juventus’ comeback seven minutes from time.
Finally, Vasilije Adzic landed a knockout blow in the first minute of stoppage time with a long-range screamer.
In all fairness, Yann Sommer bore much responsibility for both goals.
Beppe Bergomi Slams Inter Milan After Derby d’Italia Heartbreak
Now is not the time for pointing fingers.
Instead, it’s time for unity and collective focus as Inter risks dropping out of the Scudetto race in the early stage of the season.
Indeed, Chivu’s charges have suffered back-to-back defeats after a 5-0 rout of Torino on the opening weekend.
As a result, they already trail pacesetters Napoli and Juventus by six points.
However, Bergomi believes they stand no chance in the title battle.
“I don’t need the third matchday,” he stated. “I would’ve said it after the second or even the first.
“Napoli and Juventus are ahead of everyone, but Napoli are really strong.
“Milan’s latest signings, combined with the fact they only play one game a week, put the Rossoneri in the second tier.
“Behind them, I place Roma and Inter on the same level.”
The real problem is Oatree not the management (even they did badly in this transfer window) but it seems no one realized it. Oatree’s first priority is getting profits not winning champions. Of cos they would like to see Inter win something, but they would not overspend on players to do that, winning is a bonus for them, they are fine enough as long as inter can stay in the top 4 so they can join the champions league and get more revenue. Under Oatree, Inter would only spend on players thats not overpriced and with resellable value, there wont be stars cos almost all star players are overpriced nowaday. inter would gradually become Rome and Lazio under Oatree
Sassuolo is next week,so the second part of your last sentence may easilly come true very soon…
Funny how if you buy absolute shit you get worse and others overtake you isn’t it
This team is truly heading back for the PAZZA banter era!
I mean I dined out on the second star for sure but FML what a shit show we’ve become in essentially 1 year.
This team is going to miss out on top 4 – and have games where we beat like Napoli away, then lose at home to sassuolo I can feel it.
