Zielinski: ‘Too easy’ for Juventus to score against Inter | OneFootball

Inter midfielder Piotr Zielinski admits it was ‘too easy’ for Juventus to score against the Nerazzurri, who ‘should have done more’, especially to avoid Kenan Yildiz’s first goal.

It was a crazy game at the Stadio Meazza on Sunday as Juventus held Inter to a 4-4 draw, recovering from two goals down in the second half.

Zielinski scored twice from the spot, but it wasn’t enough for Inter to win the match.

The Poland international replaced the injured Hakan Calhanoglu, playing as a regista.

“I had already covered this role with the national team. We could have done more to avoid Juventus’ goals; it was too easy for them,” Zielinski said at a press conference attended by Football Italia.

“We could have all done something more, especially on the third goal. We should have recovered the ball more quickly. We left too much space for them. We know Juventus have strong players; they are quick and can score goals.”

Zielinski’s ex-club Napoli are the table leaders with a four-point lead over the Nerazzurri. Are they the primary candidates to win the Serie A title?

“We are also a great team, and surely, our target is to win,” said Zielinski.

“We’ll do our best to make fans happy and have good feelings like the lads had last season. Indeed, everyone wants to win. They had a fantastic experience last season.”

Zielinski joined Inter from Napoli on a free transfer last summer. Tonight, he scored for the first time for the Nerazzurri.

“I didn’t miss it. Perhaps I could have scored against Young Boys,” he said.

“Surely, scoring two goals against a top club was nice, but the victory matters. We didn’t accomplish it, but I hope I can score more goals to help the team win.”

Inter’s next Serie A game is against Empoli on Wednesday, October 30. On the other hand, Juventus will host Parma at the Allianz Stadium.
