It’s not something new in Italian Football. It is known by a specific term ritiro and many clubs have imposed it on their players in the past whenever the performance of the team has been embarrassingly poor.

During ritiro, the players are not allowed to go to their homes after daily training sessions as they normally do, but, they have to spend nights in the club lodge and then indulge into training again the next day.

In the views of the experts, ritiro is not a nice way of treating players at all because they are not kids studying in the 5th or the 6th standard in school. They are adult individuals and are well respected around the world. Continue reading Inter Milan has taken a bold step after the loss to Fiorentina

Mario Balotelli Could Be Back in the Italian National Team Fold

Italy national team coach Giampiero Ventura has opened the possibility of former Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli returning to the national team.

However, his talent has largely been wasted with the striker going from the start prodigy worth more than £ 25 million a decade ago into a free transfer for a French football team. Balotelli’s career has certainly not progressed as everyone hoped when he was making his name at Inter Milan.

Stefano Pioli Slams Disgraceful Performance from Inter after Europa League Exit

Inter Milan suffered an exit from the Europa League in the worst possible fashion after a 3-2 defeat against Hapoel Be-erSheva.


The defeat was made even more painful given that the club were leading 2-0 after just 25 minutes on the clock. The defeat means that the club have managed just one win in the last five matches, and results have not even after the arrival of Stefano Pioli. The former Lazio manager was appointed as the replacement for Frank de Boer, who was sacked after less than three months in charge of the club. The recent 3-0 win over Crotone appeared to infuse a lot of confidence into the team.

A 2-2 draw with inform AC Milan in the previous match was also a positive result. Hence, Inter fans were confident game against Hapoel Be-erSheva. The team took the lead through Icardi in the 12th minute and this lead was doubled by Brozović’s goal in the 25th minute.

However, nervousness seemed to creep into the Inter players after witnessing the opposition get one back through Lucio Maranhão in the 58th minute. GoalkeeperHandanovič received a second yellow card and the marching orders in the 68th minute after conceding a penalty.

This led to a turnaround with the home team managing two more goals in the final 20 minutes to secure a 3-2 win.”We stopped playing as a team and were presumptuous. That should never happen and we cannot afford to do that if we want to win games. We had the chance to go 3-0 up and didn’t take it. We must work hard to ensure we don’t keep giving away certain opportunities. We cannot play such a two-faced match. In the first half we did really well, badly in the second. All we needed to do was maintain that attitude,” said the Inter manager.

INTER MILAN’S CAPTAIN, ICARDI LOSES PENALTY

In their 2-1 loss to Cagliari, Mauro Icardi, who wears the captain band for Inter Milan, unfortunately ended up missing a crucial penalty thus leading to Inter’s outright defeat.


This has further compounded the star playmaker’s woes as he already has some issues with fans of Milan.

The beginning of the season saw Icardi start fantastically, scoring no less than six goals in seven matches for Inter. However, he ended up recently angering Inter fans with some comments in his autobiography, which the fans have refuted to be lies when they issued out a lengthy statement.

As he walked out at the commencement of the match, he was greeted with insulting banners about him and jeers from the fans at the San Siro stadium. This shows that his attempt in a statement earlier on to placate the fans had failed woefully.

Javier Zanetti, the Vice President and legend at Inter, has said he would take actions which could see Icardi being stripped of the captaincy position.

A goal by Joao Mario some 10 minutes after the stroke of halftime gave Inter the lead. Mario had found Ivan Perisic with a pass and raced into the box to receive a return pass. His initial effort got saved by Marco Storari, Cagliari’s goalie but Mario was able to make good use by tapping back the rebound.

The lead hardly lasted long as Federico Melchiorri leveled in the 71st minutes of the game. He also had a hand in the second, which saw his deflected cross turned in by Samir Handanovic, Inter’s goalie.

Following these goals, Melchiorri now has two goals in his only two Serie A matches. This comes on the heels of a few difficult years where hewent through a brain surgery and also returned from a serious knee injury. Cagliari has now moved into seventh spot above Inter.
