Inter Milan gaffer Simone Inzaghi cut a frustrated figure after his side’s draw with Juventus, pointing out the defensive mistakes and missed opportunities which contributed to them not getting maximum points.
Inter led 4-2 in the derby and were dominating proceedings until the 71st minute when substitute Kenan Yildiz got past the defence to net twice to rescue a 4-4 draw.
“There is bitterness but as a coach I must analyse and talk to them tomorrow, as the players looked sad in the dressing room,” Inzaghi said to Sky Sports Italy.
“It’s frustrating, as we were facing a Juventus side whose greatest strength is defence and we created so many scoring opportunities without winning.
“We lost our shape a bit, then on the fourth goal we made a series of mistakes. These compromised a match we clearly deserved to win.”
Inzaghi also outlined the positive areas of the team’s playing style while also bashing the defending of the team this season as opposed to how they were which led them to the title last season.
“It is right that the team feels disappointed and angry, but we must also look at the positives, creating nine or 10 clear scoring opportunities against a side that had conceded only once in Serie A this season,” he said.
“We have been conceding goals that are frankly unacceptable. We probably would’ve won this by quite a bit last season,” Inzaghi added.
“It’s a draw, not a defeat, but admittedly it feels a bit like that. I’ll be honest, I’ve never been part of a game like that. There seemed to be no warning of a Juve comeback, maybe I could’ve done more.”
