Inter, the entire management at Appiano Gentile with the team

On one side there is the black-blue block, made up of Bastoni, Dimarco, Barella, Frattesi and Pio Esposito. The former has been in the eye of the storm for a while, for the winger and the midfielder there is a serious risk of never participating in a World Cup in his life, the former Sassuolo player appears to be a winger and the young striker risks being affected by the first missed penalty against Bosnia. On the other the foreigners, Zielinski and Dumfries. The Pole, like Barella, probably missed his last chance to leave for a World Cup. The Dutchman – certainly a less impactful fact – was sent off like Bastoni, but in a friendly match. Translated: the international break (apart from some members of the Nerazzurri squad) was disastrous for Inter. And psychologically he really risks leaving his mark on Inter players.

This is why just yesterday morning, at the Nerazzurri training in Appiano Gentile, in addition to the team group, all the club’s general staff also showed up: Baccin, Zanetti, Ausilio, Marotta. A visit to make one feel one’s closeness to the players who in recent days have been overwhelmed by profound disappointments and to shift the focus to the championship. Because for Inter the moment is decisive and lapses in concentration are not allowed, despite the period being psychologically complex for many. After the Zenica disaster, the Nerazzurri managers had preferred to leave space and time for the Azzurri group – especially Bastoni – to get over the bitter disappointment. Just sending a few messages. But yesterday, everyone made their closeness to the group felt in person. To try to put behind us a bad impression that will never be forgotten but which in any case must be archived. For the good of Inter and not to continue to squander the lead in the championship which would risk compromising a race for the Scudetto that was contested for long stretches without obstacles.
