Simone Inzaghi, the former manager of Inter, has broken his silence for the first time since his departure from the club last summer, speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport. The topic of discussion immediately turned to a contentious issue.
Inzaghi expressed his strong conviction that Inter’s dropped points were not due to a lack of quality or effort on their part, but rather to what he described as «refereeing errors.» He firmly stated, «Something was taken from us,» implying that crucial decisions by officials negatively impacted the team’s results.
When asked about Inter being considered favorites, Inzaghi pushed back against this label, suggesting that such a perception overlooked the obstacles the team faced. He made it clear that in his view, external factors, specifically questionable officiating, played a significant role in the team’s inability to secure more points.
