Frank de Boer

[.h.]

I completely agree. But now that we have signed Frank, lets give him time. Sacking the coach after 9 games just creates more chaos, has cost implications, and MOST IMPORTANTLY means that we hire yet another coach who is not right for Inter. We need to stop doing that shit.



Exactly. I don't really blame Frank, even tho he is clearly struggling. He wasn't the right coach for Inter to start with, had no say in the transfers, and was hired 2 weeks before the season starts. We have set him up for failure and are now blaming him after 9 games. Give him a winter window to address his concerns, and lets see how the team plays after that before we judge him.

If Frank does not work out for us, we can address that next summer. Hopefully with a top experienced coach who is right for Inter *cough* Simeone *cough*.

Time is deserved and earned. If we had shown progress in the last few matches, I'd agree 100%.

Unfortunately, we only regress so far. So he hasnt done or earned additional time.



And, yes, the key is not to hire whoever Thohir is an irrational fanboy of, 24 hours after sacking the other coach. We need to be more considered.

 

[dee_jay]

I'm not even a FdB fan and I would stick to him. It was pretty fucking obvious that after changing manager so late, it would take some time for him to adapt and impose his ideas.

Management should send a signal to the players: Frank is staying and you need to fucking obey him - that`s why you are being payed for. Discipline is a must.

This!
And i think this should be done aggressively! Call a meeting with Big Dong and co. with the players and FDB! Tell the players, ether you BOW to the coach, do what he asking you, and respect him, or you will end up playing for primavera till the rest of your contracts!

This is not tactical problem, whats happening here. This is bunch of primadonas, thinking they are stars, and that THEY can decide who is gonna coach them. You can't tell me that a team can play like that vs Juve and Roma, and suddenly lose from fucking Sheva!

Don't get me wrong. I don't give a fuck about FDB, but i DO give a fuck about Inter. Enough with this nonsense. 9 fucking coaches in 5 years, and nobody is good enough for our players? Give me a break.

I say, stick with him until end of the season, no matter what happens! Even if we don't get Cl or LE. This has to be done! It has to be shown to the players, that they are fucking workers, who are paid to do what is asked from them to do! They are not a fucking management, to decide what formation should they play (Gasperini), or is the defensive line too high (FDB).

Now, is the management to grow some balls! Fist thing they should do, is to strip Icardi from the captaincy! To send a message, you can't be a captain, if you don't respect the people you are playing for (fans)

Edit: And the most important thing. They should ENSURE FDB, that he will be a coach till the end of the season, so he can coach without pressure. Because, the last two game we lost just because of that!

 

[Nyall]

You guys really think the same people who finds these players, sign them for big money and contracts, keeps renewing their contracts is going to discipline the players?

Look at how they dealt with our captain after threatening the fans.

Our defense hasnt randomly self-organised into 3 at the back, for example.

De Boer: ‘Focused on Torino’
By Football Italia staff

Under-pressure Inter Coach Frank de Boer shrugs “I’m just focused on Torino” and notes “Inter haven’t won for five years”.

The former Ajax boss has lost six of his first 12 games on the Nerazzurri bench, and reports are growing that he’ll be sacked regardless of what happens in the Torino game tomorrow.

“It’s always like this, I’m a bit tired of talking about these things,” De Boer sighed in his pre-match Press conference.

“I don’t need this situation, all that counts is the players and the team. All I care about is how we can change this period, it’s very difficult for me and for Inter.

“We all need to stick together to change this situation. We’re working as well always to, I think it’s just a matter of time.

“I know it’s difficult because there isn’t much time in football but that’s how it is, I’m just staying focused on Torino, that’s all I can do.

“We started a project knowing it wasn’t easy. Inter haven’t won in the last five years, there’s a reason for that and we need to change.

“The Suning owners knew this and accepted it, with great faith in doing the best for Inter. That’s important for me, because when we started this project we knew the difficulties.

“The directors are always here, we always talk on and off the pitch and they’re very available. They have their opinion, just as everyone is entitled to their own and there’s no problem.

“I feel the confidence of Suning, it’s very important for me and the team. We all have confidence in this project.”

Is De Boer still confident he has the support of the players? The loss to Atalanta wouldn’t back that up…

“The first half against Atalanta was the worst since I came here, I was angry with the players because they weren’t the ones I know.

“We changed our attitude in the second half, and I could see the players had more confidence on the ball. We did much better after scoring, and Inter was the only team which tried to win.

“It’s always very difficult for Inter in Bergamo. I wasn’t happy with the first half, we all want to see an Inter like at the start of the project.

“The dressing room is 100 per cent with me, I have great confidence in the squad but we know we have to improve on recent games.

“I’m confident, we’ve only played one very bad game.”

De Boer: ‘I had no pre-season…’
By Football Italia staff

Frank de Boer points out he had no pre-season at Inter - “we have to try things in competitive games…”

The former defender replaced Roberto Mancini on the bench over the summer, but his first match in charge was the Serie A opener against Chievo.

“When you have more weeks to prepare for the season, you can try and find the limits of the team and prepare for the League,” De Boer explained.

“What we should have tried in friendlies we’re trying in competitive games. Now we’re finding problems which otherwise we’d have found in pre-season.

“That’s very difficult, the real problem is that we didn’t play many friendlies. Inter wanted to play a more attacking style, but it takes time to implement that.

“In time I might discover the perfect squad for that philosophy, but for now we have to accept the situation and move forward step-by-step, and at some point the pieces of the puzzle will fall into place.

“It’s not easy to do that when the League is already underway, but I accepted this situation at the beginning of the project and the club and the ownership were aware of it.

“It’s not like these problems would be solved with another Coach, another Coach would face the same problems.

“All that counts is that Suning believe in this project and we can fix the situation.

“The philosophy has always remained the same, in a lot of games we’ve played the way we wanted.

“Maybe not for 90 minutes, but against Juventus, Roma, Cagliari and Bologna I saw the Inter that I want to see more of.

“Right now we need to understand how to avoid mistakes. As far as I’m concerned it’s just a matter of time, it’s very difficult to work with 20 new players.

“A lot of them are disappointed because they haven’t played, but only 11 can take the field. You have to accept that, but even for me it’s not easy.

“I’ve said this to the team too: only 11 can play.”

It’s reported that even a win against Torino wouldn’t be enough to spare De Boer the sack…

“I don’t want to think about it, I’m just concentrating on preparing the team. After that I’ll think about the rest, I’m optimistic.

“I have faith in the team and I think they can get out of this period. The club knew it was a difficult project and they’re supporting me now.”

 

[M.Adnan]

“It’s not like these problems would be solved with another Coach, another Coach would face the same problems.”

Thank you very much. Someone should send this to the motherfuckers in Inter's management.

Last part of the press conference:

De Boer: ‘No problem with Banega’
By Football Italia staff

Frank de Boer denies he has a problem with Inter midfielder Ever Banega - “it’s a tactical question”.

The Argentinian international arrived on a free transfer from Sevilla this summer, and was initially a key part of the Nerazzurri side.

However, after being hooked after an hour in the defeat to Cagliari Banega hasn’t featured since.

“It’s a tactical question, I won’t explain my decision,” De Boer told reporters in his Press conference ahead of the Torino game.

“I’m very happy with Ever though. He’s doing well, but we have a lot of good players. I preferred [Marcelo] Brozovic, but that can alway change.

“It’s not a problem with the player, but a tactical choice.

“Gabigol? I’ve said repeatedly that you have to understand it’s not easy for him here, the team isn’t going through a good spell and it’s not easy for a new face.

“He’s working hard and his time will come.”

Gary Medel will miss the next three games, subject to appeal, after elbowing Atalanta’s Jasmin Kurtic and De Boer is less than impressed.

“The club will decide if he gets fined. He hurt himself but also the team. He needs to know he made a mistake, at a time like this an experienced player like him is important for us.

“Soon we’ll know the outcome of the appeal but he’ll definitely miss tomorrow. He didn’t behave in a very intelligent way.”

With the Coach under pressure, high-flying Torino aren’t ideal opponents.

“Torino are a team who play with the ball and press high up the park,” De Boer explained.

“They’re in a good period and they have three strikers are in form. [Adem] Ljajic, [Andrea] Belotti and [Iago] Falque are doing well, they’ll come to San Siro full of confidence.

“It’ll be an interesting game, they play a 4-3-3, they press and have a philosophy like ours.”

Much has been said about Inter’s pressing, but against Atalanta they seemed to be second to every ball…

“The first half was very bad in Bergamo, I don’t know how we could play like that.

“We know though, that when our opponent scores first it affects us mentally as happened on other occasions.

“That costs us a lot of energy, so our concentration has to be better, we have to be the ones to score first. We spoke to the players yesterday, and it’s very important to maintain concentration.

“I don’t want to talk about what was said, I just want to see a team united by the same idea of how to play, that’s very important to me. We have to win with our philosophy.

“Against Southampton I saw discipline without the ball and it was the same against Juventus. We must alway start from that, whatever way we want to play.

“First things first we have to be compact, then when we get on the ball we can play with confidence.

“That’s what happened in the second half [in Bergamo], especially after the goal.”

 

[Pimpin]

I feel bad for him, and I hope we stick with him. he is the only coach who has saved a young prospect from throwing him into this fucking mess, as otehrs have done before him, just so they could get a result out, possibly at the cost of ruining everybit of self confidence from our prospects.

 

[A.l.i]

I like what he has said. Ballsy interview. This shit will not be solved by appointing someone else.

I think this "preparation exscuse" is already over, we have October not September. The virtual Pre season is over tbh.

Thats right, were playing higher. Buts thats the problem why De Boer cant be our coach. Why do you think that in the Netherlands every game ends 4-3 or 5-2?

The first months last year Inter played alot unit. Maybe you remember how Perisic and Biabiany run back. Thats what i like to see, 11 players fighting for the result. Then after the Lazio Inter game we lost motivation but also Mancini did some errors. Why De Boer dont continues where we ended? I feel like he is the reason why our players plays individual.

Mancini made errors much before the Lazio game. The difference is we were extremely lucky, but the performances in the first half of the season were just as crap. I don't even want to get into the Fiorentina game where he changes the entire formation just to mirror Fiorentina. Yes players ran back but that was pretty much the only thing Mancini told them to do. At the beginning, those players had no contribution to the offensive side of the game as they were just defending. Luckily, we usually scored the only shot we had during those games. Once the luck ran out, we saw the true value of the team.

 

[wicked wizard]

It feels like we have the same curse as man utd. Doesn't matter which manager or players even we have.

 

[ScottishInterista]

Like what he says about Gabigol, throwing him out there just now for him to flounder would only turn the fans against him and give make him a scapegoat

The preparation excuse is not over actually. There are 2 main things in the preparation. First is fitness and second is tactics. The physical fitness of our players were really shit. Even until today we can see some of our players do not last for 90 minutes yet. Secondly, they are trying brand new tactics and gameplay. They need to start moving around the pitch, closing opponents, etc. You are also forgetting the late arrivals or returns like Mario, Barbosa, Ansaldi and Brozovic.

There is a reason why most clubs have 2 months of pre-season. Also, don't forget the fact that despite FDB has been here for 10 weeks, 4 weeks out of those 10 he didn't have the full squad training due to international break.

if you say inter played as a unit last season. For the first part of the season, Inter just put 8 players in the half and get away with it. Also, remember Mancini had 9 months of the season before + 2 months of pre-season before actually started last season.

De Boer kicked off where Mancini left actually. Mancini left him a squad that can defend with numbers but has no clue how to attack. De Boer implements an attacking gameplay but our players haven't able to display them, while doing so the team suffers from the actual weak defence. So, you prefer a team that knows how to defend with numbers or the one taking the challenge to attack and actually try to win the game?

Our players have been let to play individually before De Boer came. Kondogbia, Melo, Medel miserable passes from last season. Perisic, Ljajic, Jovetic always tried to dribble pass players instead of simple passing. Unable to pass accurate balls to teammates. The problem we suffered today has been there for months if not years.

There is only one logical sense to me. Our players have been treated like divas in this club rather than footballers. They probably can do whatever they would like. There is a reason why we always have a better second half.

This team disease is so chronic and epidemic. It's so sick that even if you employ Mourinho+Simeone+Guardiola together, they won't win anything.

We need a dictator to replace Thohir as the President. Someone who can tell the players to start giving fucks or deduction of salaries is on the way.

Youre talking like the players had 2 more months relax then other teams. About the tactic: Thats true, but knowing De Boer from Ajax times i dont think that our tactic is much diffrent from "good" games like the first half from Cagliari or the Bologna game which a lot of people here was happy about (and im not talking about the result but just the way inter played)

Mancini had more time, agreed. Im only saying that in my oppinion in doesent would change much. I just cant see De Boer getting the best of this team with hes tactical ideas.

I prefer defending and not to risking too much like we are doing basicly every week. Thats why i want a Serie A coach now...

 

[surripere]

I'm against sacking him. All this talk of his imminent sacking & his potential shitty, laughable replacements is tiresome. That said, results & performances clearly must improve, another series of losses or lacklustre displays & his position will have become untenable.

 

[ElDuccio]

it was the only thing he told maybe but still a a good thing that de boer dont makes. Thats the problem..

But we already had those options and weren't happy with them. We got Mazzari and weren't happy with him, so he left. Same goes with Mancini. Gasperini lasted 3 games. We weren't able to get CL with any of those coaches either.

 

[Adriano@10]

I think the big fear is that they ARE PLAYING WHAT THE COACH WANTS!

Our defense hasnt randomly self-organised into 3 at the back, for example.

Oh common that was one game! But seriously up until the jube match there was constant improvement in our gameplan and in our team play. And even after that we looked more like a team till the fucking sunderland match which imho was the first game where we looked as shitty and disorganized as last season. And then there was the atalanta game and there is nobody who can tell me that our team looked as if they we re following fdb s instruction there was no pressure on the ball carrier what so ever neither was the team moving as a unit and this is what fdb installed in his first games here and it s also how his ajax played.

And i m not even a big fdb fan but to me he is the first coach in a long time to try to install some kind of a decent game plan into this team. And also the first one in a long time who did not make moronic decisions game after game. Again it s the first game where he fucked up and the starting lineup against Atalanta other than that his formations pretty much were what most of us we re hoping to get.

Anyways i dont see how any of the mentioned candidates for his job are gonna do any better at most we ll get a reaction like when we hired ranieri will win a couple of games just to then go back to beeing absolute shit.
