DBasia.news – Inter Milan must recognize Real Madrid’s advantage in the 2021-2022 Champions League Group D opener. The coach, Simone Inzaghi has analyzed the cause.
In the match that took place at the Giuseppe Meazza, Thursday (16/9) early morning WIB, Inter lost 0-1 to Madrid. Rodrygo scored the only winner for the visitors just one minute before normal time ended.
However, the match between the two teams was fairly even. Inter and Madrid involved buying and selling a fairly fierce attack.
Inter even more threaten Madrid’s goal. Despite the possession of the ball, the Nerazzurri narrowly lost to the Spanish representative.
Inzaghi is certainly very disappointed with Inter’s defeat to Madrid. But he accepted this result gracefully.
The former Lazio coach believes his team deserves a point. But the lack of focus and concentration in the final minutes of the game punished them.
“We have to pay more attention because there is one more minute. Let’s look ahead, let’s think about how to defend better than the game against Real Madrid,” Inzaghi told Amazon Prime Italia.
“You can’t lose your concentration against clubs like this. But if you keep playing like this, I’m sure we will qualify.”
The defeat against Madrid was Inter’s first at the start of the 2021-2022 season. This of course will slightly disturb the confidence of Hakan Calhanoglu and his friends.
In addition to the decreased concentration, there was one more thing that Inzaghi highlighted. He could not understand the performance of Thibaut Courtois who made a brilliant save to keep Madrid’s goal virgin.
“I question the personality and courage we have. But we are up against a goalkeeper who is hard to beat.”
Despite losing, Inter’s chance to qualify for the knockout phase is still open. The condition is of course they cannot lose game points in the remaining five matches.
