Literally best thing happened in this match.

I mean, we are so frustrating to watch even for saving-energy mode.

Also, Esposito is too fucking raw.

Wow!! If he said that, he should be suspended immediately and have his FIFA badge revoked!
What the fuck does it matter to him who needs how many goals! A fouls is a fucking foul, and you expect him to do his fucking job.

All is good, player rested, we won, and now we can turn attention to draw tommorow.

Atmosphere is terrible without fans, for the sake of the game I would actually like that they allow fans on Sunday.

Wasting time when you're 3 up is unprofessional

No injuries, no effort, Eriksen assist and a Puskas award for Lukaku. Good shit.

Obviously the team was trying to save energy and just see this one out. But fuck me, the final half hour of this game was painful to watch. The amount of times they lost concentration, gave the ball away, conceded pressure and had to track back.. Ironically, if they'd played with just 1% more effort, they could've connected their passes, kept the ball and saved themselves a lot more effort having to defend and track back.

The game already presented very few elements of interest due to the general mediocrity displayed by Ludogorets in the first leg and was turned into a glorified Thursday friendly by the absence of crowd in the stands. There was very little of note to record aside Alexis' performance, whose commitment and liveliness would have deserved to be rewarded with a goal. Other than that, tonight's game was only good for allowing us to collect a few, sexy UEFA coefficient points, allowing us to experiment a bit more the 4-men defence (albeit not with the starters), and putting a few more minutes in Eriksen's legs.

This is what Europa League is for though.

He said it in the context of time wasting. Why waste time when the opposition need three goals? It's a bullshit and cowardly way to play football and Padelli should know better, especially against a team like Ludogorets.

Seriously guys, talk some other shit rather than focusing on the referee.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I thought he decided to let go of foul because the other side need 3 goals.

 

[Sassuolu]

Was exhausted and missed the first half then barely cared about the second half. How was Eriksen?

 

[wera]

Both Eriksen and Lukaku were not at their best, but maybe they were conserving energy.

that's really unprofessional if he said that.

agreed. not a big deal, but still unprofessional.

I know this post is a bit late. But I have been meaning to share a few thoughts on our matches against Ludogorets.

I know this might sound strange, but I enjoyed the matches against the Bulgarians. For me, the Europa League is more about football than the Champions League. I ackowledge that Champions League is the pinnacle of club football but the format and the protagonists are mostly the same each season (Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich). The thing I like about the Europa League is that it has a wild west kind of feel to it. Also, there is something romantic football wise, about a team like Inter, with all its history and the squad that we have going to Bulgaria to play a team like Ludogorets. The tie was a real mismatch but the fans that went to the game went to watch a star studded team play their boys. I think there is something special in that but understand that some posters may simply see it as a waste of time.

Another aspect that I really enjoyed about the ties against Ludogorets is that there was no pressure. When I watch Inter in Serie A, I stress. I monitor what Juventus, Lazio and Atalanta are doing, I count points, and try and calculate who is going to be where by the end of the weekend. For me, trying to keep pace with Juventus and Lazio has been more stressful than fun and it takes the fun out of watching football. But in the Europa League, we are free of all the pressure and the calculations and monitoring that goes on when we play in Serie A. For me, this was a welcome change.

The only other point that I want to make is that I love how with Conte, we have not disrespected the competition and are taking it seriously. I like our competetivesness in the sense that we want to win every game, regardless of who we play, that kind of attitude is a meaningful break from the past when we did not care too much about being eliminated from the competition.

It was literally a dream come true for me to not only watch Inter but watch it in the "comfort of my own home", although Razgrad is in the opposite part of the country and it was quite the trip. So yeah, of course, those games are invaluable for the fans of international clubs with lots of followers. Not everyone can go and visit Milan to watch a game. I did it but sadly there were no games (thanks international break) so even this doesn't work sometimes. When it comes to football quality, well, we skipped half the tournament and we have like 5 games to win the whole thing - it'll only get harder and the quality will hopefully rise.
