Heart and soul not enough - Simone Inzaghi after Inter blew Serie A lead

Inter Milan‘s Serie A title hopes suffered a significant setback after a 1-0 defeat to Roma at the San Siro on Sunday.

Simone Inzaghi‘s team put up a spirited performance, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Matias Soule’s decisive goal in the 22nd minute.

This defeat marks Inter’s third consecutive loss in all competitions, a streak not seen since December 2017.

A Tough Week For Inter

The defeat to Roma capped off a difficult week for Inter, who AC Milan eliminated in the Coppa Italia midweek.

Inter’s struggles have been evident, with the team failing to score in their last three matches.

Inzaghi acknowledged the team’s efforts, saying, “We put our hearts into it, the fans saw that. Unfortunately, an important game lost at home.”

Inzaghi Praises Team’s Efforts

Despite the defeat, Inzaghi praised his team’s efforts, highlighting the support from the fans. “In the second half, we put our soul on the pitch as always, and they will always have my gratitude.

We deserved more, but this is football.” Inter now faces a crucial Champions League semi-final against Barcelona, and Inzaghi is focused on preparing his team for the challenge.

Focus Shifts to Champions League

With Napoli closing in on the Serie A title, Inter’s priority shifts to the Champions League. Inzaghi’s team will head to Barcelona with respect but without fear, seeking a positive result that could provide a turning point.

“We go there with respect but not fear. We have to react to this week at a busy time,” Inzaghi said.
