After Inter Milan's defeat in the Champions League final, Antonio Cassano has reacted harshly to coach Simone Inzaghi. In an interview with Italian media, Cassano described the defeat as "the worst defeat in a Champions League final" and accused Inzaghi of a lack of change in the last four years.
"It could have been a joy, but Inter were destroyed in every way. Personality, quality of play, ideas. You can be lucky once, twice or three times, but there was a big difference. And you have to take into account that they did not have the best team in their history. The coach instilled the idea of playing the game one-on-one, I think Dembele put pressure on the goalkeeper 70 times, taking away the opportunity for the Nerazzurri to start from the defense. The worst defeat in a Champions League final ," he said.
Cassano stressed that the coach has not made any changes to the style of play during his time in charge of Inter, considering this as one of the main reasons for the failure in the grand final. He added that the lack of flexibility and adaptation to opponents has been fatal for the team.
"Inter are very 'understandable'. They don't have one-on-one players. Look at what Doue did on the other side, Barkola when he came on, Kvara and Dembele. Inter play this game, for some it's good, for others it's bad, but it's very predictable. Doue destroyed them, Kvara also played as a full-back. It was a great game. It went well against Bayern and Barcelona, but there are 3-4 steps left to win the Champions League. One way or another you can reach the final like Allegri's Juventus did, but then you lack personality, quality, a thousand other things that lead to defeat. It will be difficult to get back up again, to figure out who to start with again, it will be very difficult, to remember like I carried the 4-0 against Spain with me for a long time ," he added.
Cassano's criticism comes at a difficult time for Inter, who have failed to cap off a good season with a major trophy. His statements have sparked debate in Italian sports circles, raising questions about Inzaghi's future at the helm.
"It's useless to look for fault, it's like shooting the red cross in this match for Inter and Inzaghi. What could have changed? Even if you wanted to change: if you've never changed in 4 years, it's not like you wake up in the morning and try new things. The problem is that Inter's first 4 changes were 3 defenders and Zalevski. Try to change something, make a difference... ", concluded Casano.
