Simone Inzaghi slammed Inter for conceding ‘cheap’ goals after the reigning Serie A champions drew 2-2 at Genoa on Saturday evening. It wasn’t an ideal start to their Scudetto defense by any stretch of the imagination.
Marcus Thuram’s goals on either side of halftime overturned Genoa’s early lead. However, Inter fumbled two points in second-half stoppages. Yann Bisseck’s epic blunt slipped the referee’s eye, yet after VAR’s intervention, Alberto Gilardino’s side got a penalty for a handball.
Junior Messias failed to score from the spot. But he sent the rebound into an empty net to steal a valuable point for Genoa. Inter performed well in the first half and created numerous chances. Wasteful finishing returned to haunt them after the break, leaving Inzaghi fuming.
“There’s disappointment. In my opinion, the guys played a serious, focused game. We had a decent first half, where we created a lot and conceded an unlucky goal, an accident. Then, we were good in our recovery,” the Inter manager told DAZN, as reported by TMW.
“In the second half we were slower at moving the ball, then in the 84th minute we got the goal to give us the lead, but I’m still not satisfied. After the goal, we should have managed the ball better,” the Iner boss continued.
“Conceding two goals like that makes it difficult to win matches. Credit to Genoa, but it’s a draw that doesn’t leave us much satisfaction given what we created. A team like ours, leading in the 84th minute, shouldn’t concede any more goals, especially in that way,” Inzaghi concluded.
