Serena: "Inter presses high but doesn't have fast defenders, the attitude needs to change"

Speaking to Radio Anch’io Lo Sport, Serena commented on the situation at Inter after the defeat in the Milan derby, also touching on the current moment of Lazio.

On the Nerazzurri club, the judgment is clear: “Inter hasn’t won a derby for too long, even with different coaches. This year they have some shortcomings, especially as they try to press high and attack but don’t have fast defenders, and the combinations in pressing create imbalances. Milan scored two goals from set pieces, but it’s a general attitude that needs to be reviewed.”

Serena then focused on Lazio, who lead the league with a three-point advantage over Inter. “A pleasant surprise,” he calls them, highlighting how the Biancocelesti have no European commitments, are compact, and possess remarkable quality. Among the team’s merits, Serena also mentions the return of Pinamonti: “An Italian youngster who can do more than he has done so far.”

Finally, the comparison with the surprise champion Leicester: “They could do like Leicester, all the ingredients are there: Gattuso who left the national team battered. These are comebacks we’ve seen in football.”
