Inter Milan assistant coach Masimiliano Faris says Alessandro Bastoni’s injury “doesn’t worry” ahead of the team’s clash with Bayern Munich.
Nerazzurri’s assistant coach updated Bastoni’s fitness via Fcinternews after a clash with today’s Serie A Parma. He also responded to a disappointing draw from a 2-0 lead position.
Inter Milan had a forgetful night against Parma in Serie A.
And there were injuries concerns for interdefender Alessandro Bastoni, as if it wasn’t a bitter enough drug to swallow.
Bastoni started his evening match at Studio Ennio Taldini. However, he had to come out as a replacement at halftime.
This was a forced change due to injuries, not a tactical switch.
I didn’t think there was any serious problem for Bastoni, who was able to watch the second half with his teammates from the bench.
However, the 25-year-old had to apply ice to his knees. So, even if it was just a precaution, there was obviously a concern about fitness.
Faris: “Bastoni’s injury won’t be a concern” before Bayern vs. Intercrush
The scary timing of Bastoni’s injury is particularly problematic for Inter.
In just three days, Nerazzurri will face Bayern Munich in the first weight class in the Champions League quarterfinals.
And Inter certainly wants a key player like Alessandro Bastoni who can use it for that match.
However, Nerazuri’s assistant coach Masimiliano Faris had a encouraging update. “A lot of games needed ice packs,” he explained.
“I didn’t think it was something to worry about,” he continued. “He’s one of the players who had to push plays.”
The Interassistant Coach then declared, “Let’s put this draw behind us.”
“We must be confident in our future and focus on Bayern Munich,” Nerazzurri said.
“We deserved to make it this far,” Faris said of the Champions League quarterfinals. “I don’t try to do everything I can.”
Meanwhile, Faris admitted that the team “have to analyze” the collapse later this evening.
“In the first half, we were in control. But we had two chances that we admitted: one goalkeeper orientation and the other lost the ball.”
“But we did what we had to do. We scored two goals.”
“But we were coming out from behind the Derby,” Faris said. “And with so many games, it’s not always possible to find the spirit to play on the line.”
“All outcomes are very important. But the team had no mental and physical energy.”
Faris said, “We shouldn’t have given Parma the chance to return to the match.”
“The proof lies in the fact that once you put yourself in that situation, the team quickly moved forward again.”
“But against a team that was as dangerous as Parma, we only admitted one chance afterwards in a counterattack,” he added.
