Yahoo Sports Inter Milan Manager Preparing For A Comprehensive Team Talk Ahead Of Empoli Trip
Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi is ready to hold a comprehensive team talk ahead of Wednesday’s must-win trip to Empoli.
According to Tuttosport, as reported by FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri boss has grown frustrated with his side’s lackluster attitude following a 4-4 draw against Juventus.
Indeed, Inter let complacency get the better of them as they drop two massive points in Sunday’s Derby d’Italia.
Despite boasting a two-goal lead past the 70-minute mark, the Nerazzurri couldn’t get three points over the line.
As a result, they fell four points adrift of early pacesetters Napoli at the end of Gameweek 9.
With Antonio Conte’s side showing no signs of slowing down, Inter must re-establish consistency to defend the Scudetto.
Therefore, Inzaghi will address the team later today, keen to raise his players’ awareness.
He’s determined to stem the bleeding as Inter slumped to another underwhelming defensive performance at the weekend.
Inter Boss Simone Inzaghi Preparing for a Comprehensive Team Talk Ahead of Empoli Trip
Inter strolled to their 20th Serie A title last term, largely thanks to their outstanding defensive showings.
Indeed, the Nerazzurri only conceded 22 goals in 38 league games en route to leaving second-placed AC Milan 19 points behind.
However, they’ve already shipped 13 goals this season.
Worryingly, 13 of the 38 shots they conceded in the first nine rounds finished in the back of the net.
It’s fair to say the reigning holders have fallen victim to complacency and overconfidence.
And Inzaghi is no longer willing to tolerate such behavior as he demands an immediate improvement.
Instead, he will expect to oversee only a fourth league clean sheet this season on Wednesday.
With misfiring Empoli hosting Inter, Inzaghi continues to stress the importance of defensive discipline and concentration.
Indeed, he understands that facing a struggling Empoli side offers an opportunity for his team to solidify their backline.
