Most Passionate MemberOnly thing I didn't really like from the last game was Dzeko playing behind Lautaro. He needs to be playing in the box, he's a killer inside the box and far more useful with the ball at his feet near the goal than where we've used him. The irony is that he wasn't even the target man from the long balls we've hit.

FIF Special OnesProbably preparing Lautaro for how he’s going to play with Correa.

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberThat was my thought, but it shouldn't have been done when we needed to get a goal. Not the time to experiment.
Dzeko - Sanchez should also be a blast, actually.

Depend, I prefer Lautaro Correa if opponent plays close and pressing hard game, Dzeko Correa if we need both high and low ball, Lautaro/Dzeko Correa Sanchez if we need goals desperately. We have mix profiles for all situations which are nice but let’s see how it turns out.

What I'm slightly worried about is our total lack of control in the first half against verona, we looked lost, reminiscent of the days when we finished games with high scoring draws or narrow wins. Now, that may be cuz of verona unbelievable press in the first half which totally fucked them in the second, but regardless he really has to work on that.

10 years of FIFI think we were in total control for the first 15 mins. Then the Handa blunder happened and I guess we kind of paralyzed from there a bit + Verona indeed gatherred some extra steam. Then it was a bit hard for us, specially as Hakan and Dzeko kept losing the ball.
We definitely need to be better and prepared when we concede a goal because we will do that later also.
But I think we will be better when the team get its timings on better with specially Hakan and Dzeko who are the new guys in the starting XI and who are important in our buildup.

Best Overall PosterSimone Inzaghi’s Father On New Inter Role: “He Tells Me That He Is Happy”
Simone Inzaghi’s father, Giancarlo Inzaghi, has explained how his son is happy and enjoying his new job at Inter after spending so long at Lazio, according to a report in the Italian media.Speaking during an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Giancarlo Inzaghi explained that Simone Inzaghi knew that the time had come to move on from Lazio, a club he has played for and worked at for 22 years.
“He knew everyone at Lazio, that was his home. But he understood that the time had come to break away and at Inter he immediately entered well.
“He tells me that he is happy, that the managers are very good, that they have been able to react very well to the sale of Lukaku and to the economic difficulties.”
Speaking specifically about the sale of Romelu Lukaku, Giancarlo Inzaghi revealed that his son did his best to try and convince the Belgian to stay at Inter but it was clear that his heart was set on Chelsea.
“The phone rings and the Belgian’s name appears on the display. ‘I already know what you want to tell me’.
“Lukaku reiterated that in the few training sessions they had done together he had a great time with him, but that he could not stay. My son tried to convince him: ‘Here you are the king, in London it will be different’.
“But he had no chance. It was a heavy transfer, ‘like losing three players in one go,’ he told me. But then he empowered the others, encouraging them to show that they are strong and competitive even without Lukaku.”
This is the first time that Simone Inzaghi has been part of a side that are expected to at least make a credible title challenge, and that is apparently keeping Simone Inzaghi up at night.
“The pressures for Simone are greater, can also be understood from another detail. He sleeps a little less now, his wife Gaia also tells me.
“But he always dedicates a lot to his children: Andrea, the little one, has started walking. He lives in the center, a beautiful house near the Vertical Forest.”
On Joaquin Correa, it is clear that Simone Inzaghi wanted him fo this talent, not just because they used to work together.
“He didn’t want him because he knows him, but because he considers him very strong and able to make a difference by playing alongside any other striker.”
And finally on Christian Eriksen, Giancarlo Inzaghi explains how his son would love to have the Dane as part of the team.
“He is very sorry for his health problems, also because he would have made him the pivot of the team. Simone dotes on him, we hope he can solve everything and get back to playing.”

Best Football PosterBest Overall PosterA very insightful press conference from Inzaghi.
Speaking in a press conference ahead of the fixture, as reported by FCInterNews, the 45-year-old clarified that defender Alessandro Bastoni is not set for a start tomorrow, and explained that a number of key players are still tired after an international break.
The Nerazzurri head into a busy period in the season, with a barrage of fixtures across Serie A and the Champions League scheduled for the rest of the month as they look to really get their season underway after the first two league matches prior to the international break.
Inzaghi gave some insight into what his approach with the squad will be, as well as his thinking ahead of tomorrow’s clash with Sampdoria, during the press conference.
“For sure tomorrow we will meet a team with good players and a coach that I know who organization his teams well,” he said of tomorrow’s opposition. “They have strengthened itself on the market also with Caputo, we know it will be difficult and important even if we are at the beginning of the seasons still. We will try to give a real Inter performance.”
On whether Lautaro Martinez will be available for the match he said, “Tomorrow I have to evaluate based on training, I’ll see later today. I haven’t seen the four South Americans yet, Vecino only arrived this morning.”
“I’ll talk to them,” he went on, “today we’ll train and I’ll decide. This time I won’t have much to work with and I’ll have to figure out who has recovered best. Bastoni has returned with some fatigue, yesterday he felt a physical discomfort.”
“Certainly he will not start tomorrow,” he said of the 22-year-old “we hope he recovers soon. On Monday he will carry out in-depth examinations, it is an absence that will affect us but I have a lot of choice in the role with Kolarov, D’Ambrosio and Dimarco. I will figure out the best solution.”
“Against Real it will be a fascinating challenge,” he said of Wednesday’s Champions League group stage opener, “I will do my best along with the guys. Now our focus is all on Sampdoria, we will think of Real on Sunday evening.”
On forward Alexis Sanchez, he updated that “Sanchez has trained at full capacity in the last few days, with his physical condition good, and I see in him someone who wants to make a contribution and be a big part of the squad.”
“He’s coming back from an injury with an important relapse and my wish is to have him available,” he continued. “Already tomorrow if the training goes well I will call him up, then we will see from game to game.”
“As for the penalty takers we have Calhanoglu and Lautaro, then Dimarco, Sanchez and Correa if necessary,” Inzaghi said of his team.
He went on, “Tomorrow is a match that we could only spend a few days preparing for, we are limited by the return from the national teams, but this applies to all teams and coaches. We know the calendar from the behinning. Today I’ll talk to the guys and then put out the best possible line-up on the pitch.”
“We need to think about it from game to game,” he said. “Tomorrow Bastoni would have played, Inter is the team that has had the most players involved in the national team. He had only played one game, we hope to be able to get him back soon.”
He continued, “We are only at the beginning of the season but I have to talk to the guys, keep an eye on their recoveries, the minutes played for the national team. My head is in Sampdoria and not on the next matches.”
Of Denzel Dumfries Inzaghi said that “He’s a great player who’s come from another league. He is learning the language slowly, he went away with the national team and played two good matches. Yesterday he trained well. He will become a very important player for Inter, now we will have seven games in 21 days and there will certainly be a place for him.”
“I expect a step up in preparing and recovering energy in a short time,” Inzaghi said of his team. “Motivations will be needed, I’m sure we will and they will help us to overcome fatigue sooner. The first two games in August were in the heat but only one per week, now we will have less time, and this applies to all teams. We will have to be good at recovering, knowing that motivations will make the difference.”
He reiterated, “We don’t have to think about the next match, tomorrow we will go to Genoa to face Sampdoria, a team that will do everything to create problems for us. We must focus only on Sampdoria.”
On midfielder Stefano Sensi he said, “Sensi has returned from the national team, he did light training on his first day back. During the other two he has worked very well and overcome the minor problem that affected him with the national team. He is getting himself in the right condition to be available tomorrow.”
“Sanchez is doing well, he has not gone away with his national team, Wednesday was the first time I’ve seen him since we met on July 8,” he said.
“He has only done four training sessions but he is am enthusiastic guy and I don’t discount his qualities,” he said of the Chilean. “My wish is that he can get back to his best and help the team get through this period.”
Inzaghi spoke about the possibility of playing three forwards, stating that “I think that in certain games it will certainly be good to have an extra attacking threat, though mostly the guys are training for games with two forwards. But if necessary, I don’t see why a Sanchez cannot be played in behind the two forwards.”
On his relationship with the fans Inzaghi said, “I think even before the match against Genoa, on the day of my unveiling, the guys from the Curva welcomed me. For me it was an important gesture. Then they went back to greet the team at the training centre, I was very pleased with the way the Nerazzurri fans welcomed me. They came to Parma, in Verona I thanked them because they pushed the team on even when we were behind.”
And on whether he intends to use striker Martin Satriano, Inzaghi said “Absolutely yes, we kept him in the team because he showed me from the beginning that he belongs here. He has incredible strength, he is enthusiastic.”
“The other four forwards have more experience,” he said, “Satriano has to work hard and show his quality. I gave him a place in the team as a gift, he deserved it. And from now on with so many games I will decide how and whether to use him.”
Simone Inzaghi: “Bastoni Won’t Start, Dumfries Is A Great Player, Inter Players Played Most During International Break”

He was bad today, he did all substitutes in 66minute plus he bring Sensi. That was moronic.

10 years of FIFThis is exactly how Conte did it last season. Played some reckless attacking, we kept conceding and didn't get the results. We changed to tight defending and the rest is history.
Let's see what Inzaghi will do but I think he needs to do something as today we leaked fucking everywhere. Way too much space for Samp and they just poured in those crosses all the time.

What a good idea to play fast tempo against Sampdoria after International Break.
If Conte still managed us, clearly he only defend and counter. Inzaghi need to know how much tired our player after International break.
Inzaghi need bench Calhanoglu and Dzeko sometimes.

10 years of FIFPlease check his horrible defensive record at Lazio. His team wasn't in CL, except once, for a reason.
People used to blame Lazio's defenders, but now at Inter it hasn't been changed much. Please, do not only single-pick the conceding goals. Watch the full matches and see how many times we have ZERO coverage for the three-men backline. Suicidal football.
Remind you, we have only faced shittiest attacks in the league so far.
