Inzaghi: Very bitter defeat, but our championship does not end in Bologna

Orsolini's goal in extra time shocked Inter, but above all strongly reopened the race for the Serie A title. Now Napoli is level on points with the Nerazzurri, at the top of the standings, but Simone Inzaghi refuses to talk about a compromised championship.

"We lacked clarity on the goal conceded. The boys were tense, because the ball comes out in my technical area and is recovered almost in Bologna's technical area. It can't be recovered 12 meters further, but we still had to defend better, even being in numerical superiority in the area.

We lost a very important match, which we did not deserve to lose. This hurts a lot, we will analyze what happened when we are more sober. The championship does not end here in Bologna, but of course it is a loss that burns for the way it came. We will move forward with a lot of confidence, – said the Inter coach to DAZN.

– It's too early to analyze now, there was tension. We should have defended better and not let the ball go to Orsolini. I have nothing to criticize for the first 93 minutes, but we shouldn't use the fact that the throw-in from the sideline was made 12 meters ahead as an alibi.

We have some unavailable players, the two suspended (Bastoni and Mkhitaryan) were in danger of suspension and will not be against Roma. On Wednesday we have an important semi-final against Milan, first we will analyze what happened today. The championship does not end here, without a doubt.

What should we start from? From today's performance, we faced a team in form, who had only lost once at home to Verona. We gave everything, we showed respect to Bologna, attacking when the moment came. We would have accepted a draw, it would have been the fairest result, but this is football. We will move forward without any problem.

Now, everything is reopened for the Serie A title: "We are level on points with Napoli, the calendar has relative importance, because every match in Italy puts you up against organized opponents. It won't be easy for us, nor for Napoli. We will play with a lot of confidence, analyzing what we could have done better, without looking for excuses."
