GASP HANGING ON A THREAD
After three losses, it's crisis Inter. Tomorrow at San Siro against Roma.
Moratti: "We only need to wait for that moment." In case of a change, there's also Figo other than Ranieri and Rossi.
GASP, YOU'RE AT THE CROSSROADS
Moratti is asking for a turning point. Serious trouble if tomorrow's match goes wrong.
Yesterday, the president did not sweep away all doubts: "For now, only waiting for a moment."
But if the team loses to Roma...
Milan - The big problem is that there is not one single problem. And after two months, Gasperini is working to turn things about in these two days. "I think that, right now, we only need to wait for that one moment," said Massimo Moratti the morning after the Turkish bath. A sentence that suggest a decision in the making. The decision. Because while it is true that "talking of a decisive game means that the team and coach have done a bad job," said Moratti but it is also true that another defeat against Roma would equal to a meteor on the future of Gasperini. Each player has defined the game against Roma as one for the lifetime. Not only that, the game is also practically decisive because Gasp is a coach in balance.
Two months of... nothing? The presidential messages are not topical but back in August: after the loss against Chievo, Moratti gave indications that Pazzini should be a starter, Sneijder behind the strikers and the defense that "now it is better with four." The fact is that for two months, though without the full team, Gasperini has been working on a three-man defense but did not have the men to do it. In the summer, the team was also looking for a central defender fro the defense of three but he did not arrive. And when Moratti, after Palermo, suggested that a change defensively was needed. Let be clear, it is not that with a defense of four you'll win and you'll lose with three. It is a question of the type of players that Gasp has. Gasp is now starting to reposition by cancelling the work in the past two months.
Appeal So Gasp had to change: first at Palermo and then with Trabzonspor. Two games, three distortions. Sneijder came on for Zarate at the Barbera just after 30 minutes; defense of 4 and Wes just behind the strikers against Trabzonspor after 10 minutes. These indications prove that his ideas are fragile for this team. It is for this reason that his position is in the balance because he doesn't have the grip on the team. The connection between him and the players must be born again straight away, immediately like tomorrow evening. Being hanging on a thread, Gasp did say that "this defeat will give a strong reaction to this team." He believes but more especially, hopes just like Moratti. But should another defeat came against Roma, it is time for Moratti to think. Is it bad? Really bad? Deserving or undeserving? Bad luck or serious faults? Gasp is still at a crossroads.
Up to the team So you have to wait. And Massimo Moratti: "I think, right now, we just need to wait for that moment because we have changed our formation. Is the defense better with at four? Yes, definitely." Gasp has made the change to 4-3-1-2 and now it is up to the deal. The Inter on the field right now are not the true Inter.
