Inzaghi:"Red card was correct. Injuries? We're in difficulty"

The Nerazzurri coach commented on the 2-1 victory against Udinese in the press conference.

Simone Inzaghi, the Inter Milan coach, commented on the 2-1 victory against Udinese in the press conference: "These are 3 very important points. We had an excellent first half, we deserved more than just the 2-0. 

We didn't approach the second half the same way as the first, but until Solet's goal, we were in control. 

After the goal, we lost our shape and didn't play as technically as we know how to, and we risked conceding. My red card? I got angry about the foul on Correa, a corner kick followed, and we risked conceding the 2-2. The red card was correct; sometimes adrenaline plays tricks on you."

"The conditions of Taremi and Lautaro? We're a bit in difficulty at the moment. 

Of the 5 substitutions tonight, only Calhanoglu could continue playing, but it would have been a risk as he came from two 90-minute games with the national team. 

On Wednesday, we’ll have Asslani suspended, so Calha will have to play. Arnautovic and Frattesi had taken knocks and couldn't continue, but there’s no concern. 

Dimarco and Darmian were returning from 5 and 4 weeks of injury layoff. With everyone available, they would have played less. 

Taremi has been struggling with pubalgia for two months now, which hasn’t gone away. Since the Lecce game, he’s been training intermittently, not as he would like. He wasn’t able to play today. We'll see for Wednesday. Dumfries is out, Lautaro I don’t think so, De Vrij I’m not sure, he was on the bench but wasn’t available, Asslani is suspended. 

Today, I had 15 outfield players available, 10 plus the 5 substitutes, and some Primavera players who will need to help us. We all need to work more, trying to recover as many players as possible. Playing every 72 hours isn’t easy."

"Is it possible to plan with 9 games in 27 days? I don’t like to make plans, the most important game is always the next one. 

Today, I had to plan only for Calhanoglu. He would never have come off, but he came from two 90-minute games with Turkey, so it was too much, and we were heading into the situation with Dumfries and Lautaro, who had been used for 6-7-8 consecutive matches. 

Lautaro wasn’t feeling well even with Feyenoord, so I rested him. I couldn’t rest Dumfries because all our wingers were unavailable."

"Regarding the other teams struggling, today Inter Milan played without Taremi, Lautaro, Dumfries, De Vrij, Bastoni, and Zielinski, who we haven’t mentioned in 28 days. We all know his qualities. 

There are problems we try to monitor every day, but playing 80- 90 minute matches in 28/29 days brings these kinds of risks.

 Tactical red card? No, it’s adrenaline. I was very angry; I thought the foul on Correa was there. I was sent off, and I saw Chiffi at the end of the game. 

I told him that at this moment, we’re not very fortunate with him, but he did well to send me off, and I apologized. 

It wasn’t a great scene, but it happens in football. Naturally, I will pay for it, and I won’t be there for the Parma game, which I regret."
