Yahoo Sports Ex Bayern Munich Goalkeeper Remains Positive After Inter Milan 2-2 Bologna Serie A Draw: “Not A Bad Result”
Yann Sommer failed to keep a clean sheet in Serie A for the first time in over a month as Bologna held Inter Milan to a 2-2 draw.
Despite dropping two valuable points, the Swiss goalkeeper stayed positive during his post-match talk with DAZN via FCInterNews.
Sommer had enjoyed an impressive run of four consecutive league matches without conceding before tonight.
However, goals from Santiago Castro and Emil Holm worsened Inter’s defensive record.
Though Simone Inzaghi’s team capitulated twice at the San Siro, they’re still the division’s second-best defensive side behind Napoli.
Indeed, Antonio Conte’s men have conceded 12 league goals this season compared to Inter’s 17.
In his defense, Sommer was powerless on both occasions.
Castro’s fortunate strike caught him on the wrong foot, while Holm buried the ball off the post with a thunderous low effort.
Meanwhile, Lautaro Martinez and Denzel Dumfries were on the scoresheet for Inter.
Yann Sommer Chooses to Stay Positive After Inter Milan vs Bologna Draw
Sommer credited Bologna for a spirited performance tonight.
“It’s easy to explain what happened,” he admitted. “They closed the spaces, and while we did well, Bologna handled the pressure effectively.
“In the second half, we found fewer gaps between the lines. We’ll take this point and move forward because it was a tough match.”
Unfazed by the two points dropped, Sommer insisted he only cares about being the best version of himself between the sticks.
“My goal is to be a reliable goalkeeper for Inter,” he was adamant. “Consistency is a big motivation for me.
“We’ll take this point – it’s not a bad result for me. There were chances on both sides.”
Inter won’t have to wait long for a chance to bounce back.
Indeed, they’ll host relegation-fighting Empoli at the San Siro next Sunday, seeking amends for tonight’s result.
On the bright side, they’ve reduced the gap on Napoli to only two points with a game in hand.
