Over time, it\u2019s become clear that their coach only cared about leaving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was thinking about other things, the Arab money, other matters, and he destroyed Inter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor four years, the team played only one way, and many said it was beautiful football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe players were strong before and they are strong now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, I was convinced by the high pressing even at 0-0, instead of sitting back like they did under Inzaghi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey pressed high, played man-to-man in the back. I often saw them go straight at the strikers against Torino.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA good coach should have been in place before Chivu; he should have won four Scudetti out of four, but instead, he made a mess.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Antonio Cassano has blasted former Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi for betraying the club last season.
