Inter boss Inzaghi concerned over fatigue after 3 0 Coppa loss to Milan

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi admitted his team is feeling the strain of a demanding season after their 3-0 defeat to AC Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-finals on Wednesday.

With the Serie A and Champions League titles still on the line, Inzaghi said he is worried after a second straight defeat following Sundays 1-0 league loss to Bologna, but urged his players to overcome the setbacks.

Of course (I’m worried). Were not used to losing two in a row, Inzaghi told SportMediaset.

We need to analyse both defeats the right way. We didnt deserve to lose in Bologna, and tonight we ran out of energy in the second half.

We have to keep going. Theres both physical and mental fatigue. We need to be stronger than all of that.

This journey has brought us a lot of joy, but also some disappointments, like tonight. We shouldve done better. We lacked sharpness in both boxes at key moments of the game.

The Italian manager insisted that a packed schedule is no excuse, while his team must regain confidence for the final stretch of the season and ahead of hosting AS Roma on Sunday .

Well try to bounce back and give it our all on Sunday against Roma.
