An endless crisis. L'Inter also loses in Bergamo and is forced to deal with an alarming situation, a sort of completely dark tunnel, devoid of any glimmer of light. The bench, for the moment, remains of Frank DeBoer, however, it is clear that his future is hanging by a thread, indeed according to some rumors it has already been decided.
Suning cannot be happy with the current management, not after having invested over 100 million in the summer transfer market, and Thohir, the Dutchman's great sponsor (he was the one who ousted Mancini), closed himself up in deafening silence.
The disaster of Inter is certified by the numbers: only 3 victories in the championship (the last one on 21 September in Empoli), 14th place in the standings, last in the Europa League group. The game, if possible, is even worse: the 4-2-3-1 "Ajax style" was only seen against Juventus, otherwise a long team, without ideas, race and character, all seasoned with individual mistakes from red pencil.
“I don't know if I'll be on the bench against Turin on Wednesday – he admitted De Boer right after the game. – The only thing I can do is work, the managers will evaluate the rest”. In reality, the imminent midweek shift should have lengthened his life: in fact, it is very complicated to replace him with 3 days before the match. It will therefore be a last resort against Turin, however certain that to beat him it will be necessary to do much more than in Bergamo.
Ready to go and Inter, lined up by the Dutch with a 4-3-3 (outside Banega, inside Brozovic), found themselves already down. Incredible the solitude with which Masiello he was able to head into the net, almost as if the Nerazzurri defense were thinking of something else (10'). Something more was seen in the second half, if only on an individual level: Eder he found the equalizer with a splendid free-kick from distance (50'), Perisic and Candreva (entered instead of the Italian-Brazilian) they tried to give a shock. but theAtalanta, in any case more dangerous throughout the match, ended up winning by taking advantage of yet another gift from Inter, this time with Santon: his foul on Kessie, for a rigor that Pinilla he slipped behind the Handanovic (88'). “We gave away the first half, we took the field scared and I can't explain why – De Boer's analysis. – In the second half it went better, I had the confirmation that there are all the ways to improve”.
In the Inter world, however, there are many who no longer believe in it, perhaps even the players themselves. For now it goes on like this, in the meantime the company evaluates possible substitutes: we go to the ferrymen (Almonds, Pioli, Guidolin) to slightly more exotic names (Leonardo, Bielsa). Emergency solutions, just like team moment. Call to wake up against Turin, before filing yet another project under the heading of bankruptcy.
