DBasia.news – Inter Milan must bury their dreams of going far in the Europa League. Inter’s journey ran aground in the last 16 of the Europa League when they lost 0-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt at San Siro, Friday (3/15) WIB.
Playing a goalless draw in the first meeting, made the two teams still have the opportunity to qualify, Nerazzurri also became a fairly seeded team, considering they appeared in front of their own supporters. Unfortunately, they finally had to be beaten 0-1 through a single goal by Luka Jovic in the sixth minute.
In response to the defeat and elimination of Inter, Luciano Spalletti as the manager of the team really could not cover up his annoyance and disappointment. He even admitted that his team did look bad since the beginning of the match.
“Inter Milan lacked everything. We immediately lost balance after making a mistake which led to the creation of Luka Jovic’s goal in the sixth minute. It made things very difficult. The goal also made the players tense and no longer had hope of qualifying to the next round, “Spalletti told the Italian Football.
“The team actually has a lot of time to turn things around, we should also play smart, but the opposite happened. The players really did look bad and didn’t appear as a team,” added the 60-year-old man.
The elimination of Inter from the Europa League seems to increasingly make Spalletti’s position as team manager insecure. Even the club will soon make Jose Mourinho as a successor starting in the upcoming 2019/20 season.
After this match, Inter will be immediately confronted with a difficult match against one of their eternal rivals and strongest rival, AC Milan in the 28th week of Serie A, Monday (18/3) WIB.
