Inter stars blame the club

By Football Italia staff

Samir Handanovic and Danilo D’Ambrosio seemed to shift the blame for Inter’s 2-0 defeat against Chievo on to the club.

It was only Frank de Boer’s second game in charge, as Roberto Mancini terminated his contract by mutual consent just two weeks ago.

“What made me angry? Many things, but this isn’t the place to talk about them,” goalkeeper Handanovic told Mediaset Premium.

“We know our fitness levels are not good, as we had the summer tour with only half a squad. It’s not the fault of the Coach, but of those who organised it.

“We barely managed to get any training done and therefore we weren’t in good shape.”

Defender D’Ambrosio was even harder on Sky Sport Italia and warned the fans to expect much less from the team.

“Chievo were in better shape physically, but above all the difference was in their determination. If we can change this aspect, we can achieve something.

“I have to admit we must take heed of the Juventus mentality, as last season they managed to recover after a very difficult start.

“People have to realise this is no longer the Inter that won the Treble and we don’t have the kind of individual talent that allows us to play as individuals. We need to band together as a team and work hard with humility.”
