The agony is over. Inter ends a disastrous season in the worst possible way, the worst (numbers in hand) of the era of Massimo Moratti. The nerazzurri had never lost so many matches in the league (16), and even the points behind Juventus, champion of Italy (33) represent a disgrace that is difficult to accept. Curva Nord certainly didn't do it, which ended its season with an unequivocal banner: "Moral: we want a serious club with a serious project!!! We are no longer willing to accept another year thrown away like this". The ultras (but in general all the Inter fans) have used up all their patience and expect a summer schedule without errors, starting with the choice of coach. Confirm Stramaccioni or bet on someone else? The dilemma is this, and Mazzarri's farewell to Napoli (which became official last night) only increases the vortex of rumors and indiscretions.
“I can't replace Moratti, it's only right that he speaks – reiterated Strama. – I know what he told me, now the most important thing is not to make any mistakes in building this Inter, but everything is in the words and in the head of our president. It's important not to give irrefutable elements for the future in these very negative moments, but I think Moratti has very clear ideas for rebuilding and we'll start working tomorrow”. The Nerazzurri coach seems sure of staying, but certainly the end of the season doesn't help him. Yesterday too Inter offered an embarrassing performance, for the result (2-5 at home), for the mistakes they made (Muriel's goal was even comical), for the way they played.
It's okay that the reasons were all from Udinese (who bypassed Lazio by guaranteeing themselves the Europa League preliminaries), but if your name is Inter you can't make certain figures. Goals from Juan Jesus and Rocchi barely soothe the wounds opened by Pinzi (after just one minute of play), Domizzi, Di Natale (his right-footed shot was splendid), Gabriel Silva and Muriel. “This is a difficult game to judge, because you can't judge a team that had so many absences in central defense – Stramaccioni defended himself. – Udinese took advantage of a couple of mistakes in this sense and then it's a team that is difficult to recover. Now let's move on, the last two months have been very difficult. We never hid, but it was tough. We closed a very negative season, in which everything happened to us. Results count in football and we've done badly in the last two months, but I can't separate what happened to us from the team's assessment."
The technician's position is clear, now all that remains is to understand that of the club. It is true that Massimo Moratti has repeatedly confirmed Strama, but then why all these contacts with Walter Mazzarri's entourage? We will know shortly, after which it will be time to work on the market. A match that Inter must win, whatever the cost, because the environment won't be able to tolerate another season like this.
