November 3 – 11.30pm – MILANO
More pitfalls than expected. Definitely more. But in the end, at the end of a match with a truly heart-pounding finish, Inter wins and collects three points which weigh heavily, especially in view of the top-of-the-table clash scheduled for next Sunday at San Siro against Antonio Conte’s Napoli. Simone Inzaghi’s wrinkled face and hoarse voice after the match, however, clearly tell the story of the suffering that Inter had to suffer in a truly frantic final with Sverko’s goal arriving in the 98th minute and disallowed due to a handball on the 100′. “We should have been more cynical, but even at the end of the first half I complimented the team: we missed some important goals with Mkhitaryan and Thuram – analyzed the Nerazzurri coach after the match -. In the second half we lost some distance, then once we achieved the lead the big flaw was that we didn’t close out the match, the games always remain in the balance. On Sverko’s goal there is also a push on Bisseck, but we wouldn’t have It should have only been 1-0 in the 97th minute.”

Inzaghi then looks to his direct competitors to confirm himself as Italian champion. And he will see Conte’s Napoli up close next week: “Winning wouldn’t be a turning point: it’s just a very important match. In two days we’ll be on the field with one of the strongest teams in Europe… but the competitors in The championship was already strong last year and they have strengthened themselves by investing a lot. However, Inter have also strengthened themselves. It will be a balanced and open championship until the end.” On the busy calendar: “We are at the fifth match in 14 days. But we are missing two very important ones against Arsenal and Napoli: there were some small problems, but Calhanoglu has recovered and on Wednesday I will also have Acerbi, news that makes me very happy.”
