INTER, BEAT PALERMO TO START THE RACE AGAIN! SNOW PERMITTING, THE NERAZZURRI WANT TO FORGET LECCE. RANIERI CRITICISM SNEIJDER: "PLAYS OUT OF THE PACK".
Forget Lecce and start again towards the podium in the standings. With this mission in mind, the Nerazzurri will take the field against Palermo, weather permitting. Because if it is true that San Siro, unlike the Tardini, is covered in every order of place, it is equally true that the snow could continue to fall throughout the day. There will come a time when someone will understand that it makes no sense to play an evening shift on February 1st, but waiting for this (and it will still be some time!) let's talk about Inter-Palermo. The nerazzurri managed in 4 days to ruin all the good built in the last two months.
The defeat of Naples but above all that of Lecce brought pessimism back into the environment, and also the transfer market raises some doubts, at least judging the mood of the fans. In short, the best medicine would be a victory, also because the others are certainly not standing by. "Let's go step by step, the ones in front fly," said Ranieri at the press conference. "Either they stop or we don't make it, for now let's try to stick to the Champions bandwagon". The Nerazzurri coach flies low, but he doesn't hide the truth: “This will be a turning point. We have to hurry before the Champions League starts, we welcome these two slaps who tell us: 'Guys, what are you doing?'”. In all of this, Ranieri also has to deal with the Sneijder case.
The match in Lecce cracked the relationship between the two, with the Dutchman disappointed by the substitution in the interval and the coach angry at the bad performance: "He has to go back to playing like in the first year, that of the treble: he was practically the second striker, but my speech is: will I be able to play with two strikers plus him?”. And if the answer was "no", what would happen to Mr. Ranieri? “I'm not afraid to knock someone out, the team is made up of eleven players. I'll try, I'll have to quickly understand what can be done". Strong sentences, which would be enough to create the case. But the technician did not stop there: “Sneijder is necessary and important, but it is essential that he understands what the coach wants, otherwise he remains in antithesis, the team speaks one language and speaks it well, he speaks another. It is good that you learn to speak this language”. Definitely, Inter must win tonight!
