Simone Inzaghi sticks it to Lautaro Martinez

The words of Simone Inzaghi

Simone Inzaghi spoke after the draw in Genoa: “We knew what game we were going to meet. Genoa is well physically and mentally, è it was a close game. The two teams played well in the first half, after finding the lead I cannot reproach the boys forò we should not have allowed Genoa to score in the recovery allowing them to get back into the game. The boys put everything, we close 2023 with a’very good ranking but we know that every game brings pitfalls like this one”.

"A tie can’ fit us? Yesì but we all wanted to win. Games are decided on episodes: we had never taken goals from a dead ball, we had to defend better on that action and the second half would have been different. In the second half we moved the ball differently, we had a good chance with Acerbi where è the goalkeeper was very good, then we took two restarts but we were good at making up for it. The field was heavy for both teams”.

Comment on Lautaro Martinez's absence: “It should not be an alibi. We also had Dimarco and Cuadrado out, I hope two can return with Verona. But without them with Lecce we did very well then we faced a healthy team that lost at home only to Fiorentina. We did not manage to come out on top”.
