INTER, AN EMBARRASSING COLLAPSE! NERAZZURRI UNREcognizable, IN ROME FINISHES 4 – 0. RANIERI WIDES OUT HIS ARMS: “THIS CAN'T GO AHEAD…”.
It should have been an opportunity to start running again, but yet another fall came. This time, however, the defeat hurts more than usual, because after a race like this it will be difficult to restart. Inter went back three months, canceling all the good done between December and January in one week. The ugliest version of the (?) Ranieri era took place at the Olimpico, and this time he has great faults: why remove Pazzini to put in Poli when the team was already two goals down? Sign of a provincial mentality, which immediately reflected on the players. The Nerazzurri can only get results if they play on the counterattack, but as soon as they try to reveal themselves they are in pain. "We haven't been us for a few weeks now, we've conceded too many goals and we're no longer able to play as we know how to do - Ranieri said disconsolately - starting on Tuesday we should get down and work to improve".
Easy said, much less done. The Nerazzurri seem to have lost their compass (again) and this time finding it will be much more complicated. The Inter coach explained his team's collapse like this: "Probably after the derby we let ourselves go too much and lost something psychologically. From Tuesday we will think about how to react because we can't go on like this." If Inter lick their wounds, Roma finally enjoys. The Giallorossi had a great game, enhanced by Borini's brace and Bojan's return to goal, which was finally important. Luis Enrique smiles and is already thinking about the semi-match in Catania (30' to recover, Wednesday at 20), but the good news also comes from the corporate front. Franco Baldini has officially announced the renewal of De Rossi: "During the week we reached an agreement with De Rossi, tomorrow (today ed) there will be a conference and you will all know all the details". After days of storm (in every sense) calm has returned to Rome. The storm now only affects Inter.
