L ‘ Bury from Antonio Conte It is out of Europe, not just the Champions League. The verdict came in the saddest possible way, that is, without being able to score a goal for Shakhtar Donetsk and without even being able to “appeal” to the much feared draw between Real Madrid and Borussia Moenchengladbach, which did not even come close to the result that would ousted Inter from the Cup even in the event of a victory over the Ukrainians.
Only the fact that it was played behind closed doors protected the coach and the players from the whistles of the fans, forced to witness the same scenario for the third consecutive year. And if captain Handanovic he is ready to shake up the group to think about the championship (“Inter is not Champion, the numbers say”), for the Nerazzurri fans it is not yet the time to turn the page. First we have to find a scapegoat, identified precisely in Conte.
The numbers condemn mediocrity the Salento technician in the international arena. In five Champions League campaigns In his career the best result is qualification for the quarterfinals with Juventus in 2013, then the round of 16 with Chelsea in 2018, then three eliminations in the group stage, one with the Bianconeri and two with Inter. And the good results after relegation in the Europa League (semi-final with Juve in 2014, final with Inter last summer) cannot be enough to show the glass as half full.
The Nerazzurri people are furious with Conte for how Inter was eliminated, for the balance of a six game win , for the zero goals scored against Shakhtar who collected ten from Gladbach, for the lack of self-criticism and again for tactical reasons , from the insistence on the defense to three, to the errors in the reading of the games and then in the substitutions and finally by the management of Christian Eriksen.
Even on the decisive night and despite the fact that the result was not unlocked, the Dane was sent to the field in the final, even touching the goal. An ostracism that led the former Spurs to be “adopted” by the Inter fans despite a less than exciting performance and that pushes the social court to invoke the ‘exemption by the company or the resignation di Conte who, however, given the tenor of the post-match statements, seems an unlikely scenario …
