Super interesting to see his choices for Torino match.

One would think that the whole bench etc should play and all the first guys shouldn't play a minute.

But then I thought, if main guys don't play at all, it would be 2 weeks without game time for them in the CL final. City is playing a meaningful game week from the final (FA Cup final next weekend).

Then there's obviously the injury fears. I would def restrict Barella and Calhanoglu from playing, maybe small minutes in the end or something. It feels those guys are absolutely crucial and their playing style is so demanding that injury scare is always there (even though Barella isn't too injury-prone?).

Overarchieve or underarchieve doesn't matter. History is history. People will remember that forever like Roma two times 0-7, not given a shit they were quarters or semis or excuses how strong ManU was or whatever.
Well, history is a bit blurry there since that was 7-1 and 6-2 :D

They also lost 6-1 to Bodo/Glimt in the season they won, do people remember that or do they remember that in the end they won the tournament?

I don't disagree that heavy final losses are there forever. Italy losing to Spain 4-0, Brazil losing 3-0 to France, Barcelona losing to Milan 4-0 despite being considered favorites and so on, so you're right there. A heavy loss is going to be a huge stain.

Guess people forgot Zhang words after Euroderby

"I’ve worked with many coaches even if I am only 31, surely Inzaghi is special, very special, very calm in every situation,” noted Zhang.

“Whether we win or lose, he’s always calm, maybe this is his greatest quality, the only coach who doesn’t ask me for any player.”

How convienient, Steven. Well played.

Inzaghi isn't gonna demand anything. That's why Lotito loved him and was so pissed when he lost him to Inter and Zhang never considered firing him and wants to extend his contract even further. He's perfect for owners who don't want to spend money.

Well people(not just Inter fans) will remember that we played final. Everyone remembers finalist in CL. EL not so much. I remember every team that played final since I started watching CL, since 1992. CL final is a big game and everyone remembers that. And whole world is watching this. Winning scudettos and Coppa's only remember fans and people that follow Seria A. This is not Seria A of 90s anymore. CL final right now>>>Seria A winners. For promotion for club. So this is a big thing for Inter and it is over achievement, a massive one, and club should try to capitalize from this. I agree we should try to avoid humiliation. But hey, beelan destroyed Barca's dream team in 1994 final who were favorites in that match. If we somehow avoid to lose more than 3 or 4 null Its wont be disaster. They are big favorites in this one. No one give us any chance in this one.

He is quite perfect indeed. Despite all that he brings in trophies. Not yet Scudetto, but if he's given SOMETHING in the summer, I think we can do it next season for sure. While competing at CL simultaneously.

Other coaches in his situation (championship contenders + deep CL run) don't have just 13 reliable outfield players for the rotation.


I know his rotation isn't ideal, but if we had a proper backing and ambitious owners, we'd be seeking to replace Gagliardini with Milinkovic-Savic, Skriniar with Scalvini, Lukaku with Hojlund, Dzeko with Firmino, Asllani with Frattesi, Bellanova with Lazzari and D'Ambrosio with someone like Bensebaini.

Ironically, apart from some transfer fees, our salary budget wouldn't necessarily increase here. Or at least by much.



But in our situtaion we'll be lucky if none of our current core doesn't regress (age + fitness concerns) and if we add at most 1 extra reliable player in the rotation. Yet expectations would remain the same. Scudetto challenge and deep run in Europe.

People will remember what they can or want to remember. Doesn't change the fact that Inzaghi has overachieved by reaching the final.

If we win, some people will remember how Simone miraculously led us to CL victory despite all the financial trouble we had and some people will remember how "lucky" we were lol

None of us will care about that if we win. The others will seethe, but it's so insignificant and pathetic that it doesn't matter.

That's why I did say he has a good season. I am not asking for a win. But avoid a heavy defeat.

You and your pro-Inzaghi do not mind when we lose 0-10. I do mind. We are Inter, have to show a fight, not losers Roma to accept whatever the loss is.

Not that I think he would though. It is just you're too sensitive to focus on every slight words not in his favor to farm for likes :lol:

No matter how much we lose, it will be in CL final and against club with unlimited budget with roster that is twice or more expensive than ours. For me, humiliation is losing against Barca B or failing to beat friggin Shaktar at home which caused exit in group stage. Thats what I called being loser. It sucks that some people here are still trying to diminish this achievement. I also wanted friggin Limone out after we sucked last March. But cmon, he won another Coppa, we finished top 4 and we got to the final of CL(!!) , wtf do you want from this guy? 4th coach in our history to do that and its not good enough?? Lol

Jesus Christ do you even read the post? Stop spamming bullshit by yourself and get triggered for nothing.

You don't know what I mind or don't mind. All I wanted to say by replying to you was to say do not get your hopes up for seeing an Inzaghi-less Inter next season based on the final's result.

Btw, Inter managed to reach the CL final, win the Coppa Italia and secure a CL spot for the next season without playing shit football that you kept promoting. So condolences to you for being wrong on that.

No, you started with this post. If we lose heavily in final it would mean we are losers. You meant that. Guess what, you are wrong. Tell this to beelan fans. Or rube or Napoli. Everyone of them would swap with us right now. Everyone wants to be in that final. How many times we reached CL final in our history? I dont care how it ends but lets hope for the best. I wont call our players or coach losers if they demolish us. Right now they are heroes to me, no matter how ends in final. We have 13, 14 friggin competitive players,and they made it to the end, for me that is a massive, not good, but massive achievement. In a season where instead winter break we had friggin World cup. How many games did they play this season? In March this season looked so bad. But they managed to turneover it. These guys are heroes in my book. After we fucked beelan in semis it sealed the deal for me.

Now I get your point. Ah again you are mixing CL and Serie A again to excuse for Inzaghi 12 losses in Serie A and claiming some false impression on me that I want him to be sacked :yao:

His football is not sustainable in a long marathon run. But works great for Champions League. That was what I always said. Where was the wrong? If our LEAGUE points tally is totally satisfactory on your view, next season feel free to continue to fall behind Napoli and fucking Lazio in your ranking table and enjoying Copa as if a plastic Scudetto.

I am not satisfied with our league points or 12 losses at all. But several factors played a part in our league's form beyond "it's the coach and his unsustainable football" factor. You only lingered on that one, I didn't.

Napoli was unreachable this season. We could be a better competitor to them but we made too many mistakes for that. It's easy to always blame the coach, but our problems were way more than that.

So I agree Napoli was not going to be beaten this season but I would liked to have been closer. In this season our points total was good enough but in many seasons in history it would not have been good enough, and we'd be without CL next season. Of course you can only ever be good enough for the situation you find yourself in, and against that acid test he has passed the requirements. That's what terrifies me tbh
