The comeback suffered by Inter during the second half of the match against Parma sparked much discussion. At the center of the controversy were mainly the substitutions made by Simone Inzaghi and his staff, which were already planned earlier to give some rest to certain players, given the numerous commitments the Nerazzurri still have ahead this month.
Riccardo Trevisani also commented on this topic during the latest episode of Pressing, where the debate over these decisions became quite heated. The journalist defended Inzaghi’s choices, highlighting Inter’s current needs and emphasizing how such situations arise for all major clubs playing on multiple fronts.
These were his words:
Of Inzaghi’s five substitutions, three were mandatory due to physical conditions. Plus, the teams that played the Copa del Rey or Coppa Italia on Wednesday and then have a Champions League match coming up—Barcelona drew with Betis, Real Madrid lost to Valencia, Milan drew with Fiorentina, and Inter drew with Parma. Nobody managed to win because no one wins all their matches. And let me add that Parma had one shot from outside the box and one deflected shot. When Inter’s starters were on the field, before the substitutions, Bonny found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal, and Man was also alone in front of goal. Inter allowed scoring opportunities with first-team players, not with the substitutes. Therefore, we are talking about a bunch of nonsense.
