The former great porter of InterWalter Zenga, analyzed the failure of the Nerazzuri in front of Juventus (3-4) at Sky Sport Italy.
Inter lost dramatically to Turin, after leaving the 82nd minute by 3-2. Kephren Thuram and Vasilije Adzic (90+1) overturned the situation on the table in favor of Juventus, paralying the second consecutive defeat of Cristi Chivu's team in this season A.
Walter Zenga: “If you really want to change, you have to have the courage to make different choices”
Invited to the Sky Sport Italy studio, to analyze the match, the former great goalkeeper of the Inter, Walter Zenga, reproached the Romanian technician lack of courage. “Inter has received five goals in the Champions League final, two in Udine and four now.
When a new coach comes, he cannot simply continue his predecessor's path. There are different ideas, more concentration and a fresh approach. The problem is that we often rely on the same players in gratitude, but if you really want to change, you have to have the courage to make different choices, “commented Zenga.
Former coach at FC National, Steaua and Dinamo, Zenga is dissatisfied that the Romanian technician uses almost exclusively the same players who based his predecessor, Simone Inzaghi. On Saturday night, the only novelty in the first eleven of the Inter was defender Manuel Akanji, recently brought from Manchester City.
Walter Zenga: “I do not understand why Inter bring Home on Pio Esposito if it is not given time to play”
The legend of Nerazzurra also came with concrete examples: “Juventus has won due to Adzic's entry in the last minutes. So I do not understand why Inter brought home Esposito if it is not given time to play. These details are the ones that truly make the difference.”
Inter read Pio Esposito from Spezia, this summer, but Chivu did not use it with Juventus. In the first 3 stages of the new season, he only granted the Argentine striker, all in the previous stage, at 1-2 with Juventus, on Giuseppe Meazza.
