Everything that could have gone wrong for Inter has gone wrong. The Nerazzurri lost their tenth league game of the campaign with a depressing 1-0 loss at the hands of Fiorentina on Saturday. So, what comes now? By all accounts, nothing good for Simone Inzaghi.One time – it’s the officials’ fault, the other time it’s the balls’ – because it loves to sneak into Inter’s net when nobody seems to expect it. They were unlucky to concede the only goal to Viola at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, but it’s about time they ask themselves what they are doing to improve their luck.Oh look I’m Romelu Lukaku and it’s Always Inzaghi’s fault.#InterFiorentinapic.twitter.com/QNYKDrGkMm— $ (@samirsynthesis) April 1, 2023 This time, there are no excuses for Inzaghi. He’s got a good squad, he’s got the finances, he has the support of the owners and the fans. He is the one who failed. Ten losses in just 28 Serie A matchdays is unacceptable. Compare that to Lazio’s five, Udinese’s seven or Empoli’s eleven and it’s clear that the Nerazzurri don’t have the right to claim their right of taking one of the UEFA Champions League spots this season. That’s tough because they set it as a bare minimum target for the campaign. As things stand, city rivals Milan, Roma, Lazio, Atalanta and even Juventus with their points deduction, seem like a team more capable of toppling the black and blues.Both Inzaghi and the players are to be blamed for tonight’s result…ButInzaghi more so. The manager’s leadership skills in regards to group dynamics plays a massive role in confidence and form. The team’s mentality right now is poor. That’s Inzaghi’s job to fix.⚫🔵 pic.twitter.com/dXq8ByWupS— Pat (@Patrick_E_B_) April 1, 2023 Speaking after the game, coach Inzaghi hinted that missed chances were their biggest problem – with Romelu Lukaku again failing to find the net from a couple of promising positions.”We lost two consecutive home games so it’s normal that there is a disappointment. We have to work harder, myself first. The players did their best, but we had to be tougher in the situations because we failed to score from the numerous chances we’ve had. In terms of commitment, however, I can’t say anything to the boys, but this result makes us look at the table differently. If Romelu had scored two goals he would have been judged differently. He moved a lot and got into good positions, just like several other players. I have to be wise and judge the performance of each of my players beyond just the result.”Wasteful Lukaku misses several clear-cut chances as Inter lose to Viola at homeSadly for Inzaghi and his team, the results are the only thing that matters at this stage of the season. The team’s style of play is predictable, and lacks energy and the ruthlessness required to fight for the top four. As a result, Inzaghi is at the exit door, and many of his players lost their value in the market value: Marcelo Brozovic, Robin Gosens, Denzel Dumfries, Lautaro Martinez, Joaquin Correa and several others. Besides, the two youngsters in which Inter invested last year, Raoul Bellanova and Kristjan Asllani hardly ever get to show why they were brought to the club.##NAJAVA_MECA_7142384##Inter’s troubled coach has only one chance to save his job – winning the Champions League this season. For some reason, the results in Europe’s elite club competition are much better than those in the domestic league. They haven’t been playing very well there either, but they managed to navigate their way into the quarter-finals with a couple of gritty performances against FC Porto. Can they go all the way? Probably not. And Inzaghi will have to face the music.
