Alessandro Bastoni has become the latest Inter Milan star to emphasize the unity inside Simone Inzaghi’s locker room.
During an interview with Sportitalia, as reported by FCInterNews, the 25-year-old reiterated his teammates’ earlier statements, hailing a healthy dressing-room atmosphere.
Mehdi Taremi highlighted this contributing factor following Inter’s 4-0 demolition of Red Star Belgrade in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
The Italian media suspected a crisis at Giuseppe Meazza ahead of the game.
Simone Inzaghi’s men have unexpectedly thrown away seven points in the first six Serie A rounds.
However, they bounced back last weekend with a goal-glutted 3-2 victory against Udinese.
Further confirmation of Inter’s renaissance came last night.
Indeed, four players found the net to thump the Serbian outfit and put an emphatic stop to media speculation.
As if a minor on-field crisis wasn’t enough, the Scudetto holders have had to deal with epic off-field turmoil in recent days.
Rumors that several arrested Inter fans have alleged ties with mafia crime syndicate ‘Ndrangheta caused unrest in the hierarchy.
But such talks have fallen on the players’ deaf ears.
Malicious media headlines were not enough to knock Inter stars off their perch.
Inzaghi’s side ran supreme against Red Star on Tuesday evening to silence their critics.
After the game, Bastoni felt the urge to address this issue.
“As far as we are concerned, there has never been a real crisis,” he said.
“We knew we had to fill some gaps that there were especially on a mental level.
“There is no drama because the season is long and full of games.
The ambition to raise the level is there as well as the desire to repeat what has been done.
“You have to get used to this new football in which there is no real start to the season and end of the season, you always have to be competitive.”
According to Bastoni, media speculation has failed to disrupt the harmony inside the dressing room.
“It’s all nice, we work together every day really like a family, problems are solved like this, facing them together.
“We are a united group and we solve problems together.”
