«Inzaghi has confidence, but without the Champions League we will have to review our plans»- Corriere.it

Inter CEO Beppe Marotta «Will Inzaghi still be in Inter’s future, even regardless of whether or not he has achieved his seasonal goals? We have faith in him and we have said it, the fact that he has a contract means that we have established a long-term relationship of trust. We’re happy, we’re racing on three fronts, we haven’t been consistent in the league and we need to find continuity again. For the rest, today we’re playing in the semi-final of the Coppa Italia, next week we’ll play the Champions League and this still tells us that this team and this coach have had an important journey. It is clear, also economically, that for us, imagining being out of the first 4 places would oblige us to review all the plans, in terms of business plans, in view of next year».

Negative moment

“How do you get out of this negative moment? With unity, with unity, with an even stronger work culture. These are the best therapies, then certainly the reasons are important because the issues from a technical-tactical point of view are established. The coach is the leader of the group, he is the one who sees the team every day, he is the one who knows how to intervene in corrective measures and who decides the best men to field ».

The motivations

«How come this team alternates great performances with less intense games? When the competition is at a high level, the players charge themselves, while in the league against teams that are considered inferior on paper, you have everything to lose and little to gain. This year we lost a lot of points with the ‘provincial’ teams but more for our faults. There we have to improve and solve problems. It’s probably a mental fact: the negative aspect of the season is the great discontinuity in the league. Allegri says we are favourites? He is very good at communication and is part of the game. It is clear that Juve, Inter and Milan are always under pressure, results for the big teams are more important than performances but great performances are needed to achieve certain results. Having said that, Allegri is very good, he managed a complicated moment in his club well. And we have to find countermeasures. Is Inzaghi’s position linked to results? We managers are very compact with the coach. We always talk to him and also to the players: the dialectic at Inter is frequent but this must not interfere with the coach’s management. As mentioned, he is the leader and he is the one who uses the right dynamics to find the right concentration. Having said that, football is made up of results and we are all under scrutiny and if we don’t achieve certain objectives we will all be guilty if we have to talk about guilty».
