Simone Inzaghi claimed the referee cost Inter the game after their 2-2 draw against Monza: ‘We are very angry. There was an error.’ The Nerazzurri dominated periods of the game and were 2-1 up heading into stoppages, but a poor performance from referee Juan Luca Sacchi disallowed what looked to be a valid third goal. Speaking to Sky Sport after the game. Inzaghi was still frustrated with the officiating and pointed out what he deemed to be obvious errors:
“We are very angry. There was an error, the ref whistled a foul where two players of Monza stumble between them. A serious mistake. Too bad about Lautaro hitting the post, but today we are talking about a draw that comes from a serious mistake.
At the moment it is difficult for me to analyze the match, because after five years of Var it is bad to draw with a mistake like that.
Unfortunately, we concede too much on the road, it’s a fact. Clearly on the second goal we should have defended better, but I repeat that it is something that should not have been there. It is a draw that slows us down, but it must make us move forward and know that tonight we were strongly penalized.
We need to move forward, we need to work more and better. We need to recover our players at 100 percent. We were coming from two very important wins and this draw slows us down.
We need to look at one game at a time and try to win as many as possible. We lost points at the beginning of the season and we need to recover now, looking at opponent after opponent and winning games like we should have done tonight, which was well within our reach.
Two changes were forced, the other was Dzeko-Lukaku. But I repeat, we are analyzing a draw that stings and slows us down, but we must not lower our heads.”
