Capello after Inter-Bruges: “The physical condition is worrying”

At the microphones of Sky Sport, after the match Inter–Bruges 3-4, Capello analyzed the Nerazzurri’s performance without mincing words, pointing the finger at the team’s athletic condition.

“Before the match Sommer said to be careful not to underestimate Brugge and Inter played below pace,” began the former coach. “Brugge played very well, with a lot of speed: they allowed Inter some goal chances, but on the field it was clear that when we started, the Bruges players had the chance to score.”

On the individual performance of Martinez, Capello highlighted a mistake at 2-1, but balanced it with three decisive saves: “Three interventions that kept Inter alive.” The overall judgment remains harsh: “In my opinion, their heads weren’t in it.”

On the play that led to 4-2, the former coach mentioned Akanji: “He doesn’t recover, he can’t make it.” This reading leads Capello to the most alarming conclusion of his analysis: “The physical condition is worrying.”
