Fortress Inter Milan – Nerazzurri Club Directors & Coaching Staff Keeping Close To Squad Ahead Of Decisive Roma & Barcelona Clashes | OneFootball

Beppe Marotta and the Inter Milan club directors are keeping close to the squad ahead of huge matches against Roma and Barcelona.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the training ground has become like a fortress amid the high-pressure atmosphere.

Inter Milan are at a truly finely-balanced moment in their season.

On the one hand, the Nerazzurri have put them in a position to fight for two huge trophies.

Inter overcame Bayern Munich to reach the semifinals of the Champions League. There, they’ll face Barcelona.

And the Nerazzurri have every chance of retaining their Champions League title. They are level on points with Napoli at the top of the table.

On the other hand, Inter have hit two huge setbacks in the last week.

Firstly, the Nerazzurri lost to Bologna in Serie A last Sunday. This entailed the loss of their advantage over Napoli in the league table.

Just as importantly, it handed the momentum to the Partenopei in the title race.

Then, Inter lost to AC Milan in a Coppa Italia semifinal second leg. That has seen one chance for silverware disappear – and with it, the possibility of the Treble.

Therefore, the atmosphere is tense at Inter. The team are really feeling the pressure.

Moreover, the players are well aware that, outside, there is no shortage of hunger to see them fail.

Inter have certainly not been without their critics. Particularly with their rise under Simone Inzaghi in recent years.

Therefore, this is a highly delicate moment for the team.

Accordingly, the Gazzetta report, Inter President Beppe Marotta has been at the training ground since yesterday. As have the other club directors.

All the club are keen to show that they are behind the team. They know that the team needs a fortress around it for the next few weeks.
