Inter is going through a very delicate period, between the Serie A title race that has brought them one point behind Napoli and a Champions League in which the Nerazzurri want to rank among the top eight in order to achieve direct qualification, without going through the playoffs.
Certainly, the schedule in this period is not an ally of the reigning Italian champions. As Tuttosport points out, Simone Inzaghi himself has shown annoyance for the placement of the big matches, always following European commitments: Milan after Manchester City, Juventus after Young Boys and now Napoli after Arsenal.
These are the words of the coach at a press conference: Unfortunately all three big league matches have happened after European games, it always happens. And even next weekend, we will be the only ones facing a direct clash.
There are other words that denote annoyance on the part of the coach. This time the target is not the schedule, but the numerous criticisms received by his team despite the results not being so poor. He did this in response to a question about the difficult time experienced by Arsenal, after their defeat at Newcastle: We know how big teams react after a loss, look at us after the derby. We have won 7 out of 8 games, even if it doesn’t seem like it…
