Inzaghi: This is what we lacked, and Leverkusen deserves to be among the adults

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi appeared in press statements after losing 1-0 to Bayer Leverkusen in the sixth round of the Champions League.

The coach said: “It was clearly not one of our best matches, that's clear. We were facing a tough opponent, they hit the crossbar in the first 15 minutes and then took control of the game. Maybe they controlled things too much and we could have been a little bolder.” The thing.”

He added: “We lacked quality in the final third, which is usually one of our strengths. It is disappointing to lose in this way, where our record ended Undefeated, but this does not harm what we have done in the past four months.”

He stressed: “Perhaps we will remain among the top eight after tomorrow’s results, and then our fate is in our hands.” The remaining two matches. The real regret is that we lost this one The way.

He noted: “I agree that we did not do enough, even though we did not face many risks in defence. When we started moving the ball in the first half, we felt that they were suffering from our lack of possession of the ball. We did not show the usual quality this evening.”

And about Leverkusen’s goal:” Darmian cleared the ball at the last second, and Mukiele attempted a back kick, but it came back to him. Obviously we should have shown more focus in that moment and there were no warning signs.  This is the Champions League, all it takes is a moment and you are punished.”

He concluded: “The players know that this was not their best performance, but we respect our opponents.”
