‘I wouldn’t quit the Salernitana miss, I would also think about Fiorentina’: Inter Milan boss RIPS in Romelu Lukaku on his goalscoring woes as he fumes over ‘results we didn’t expect’ amid poor form of the team
- Inter Milan have scored just two goals in their last five Serie A matches
- Simone Inzaghi has criticized Romelu Lukaku’s finishing for their poor form
- The former Manchester United man has scored just three league goals this year
Internazionale boss Simone Inzaghi has scored in recent games in the completion of Romelu Lukaku.
The Nerazzurri have been in a bit of a rut over the past month, winning none of their last six games and picking up just one point from their last four in Serie A.
Inzaghi is shifting some of the blame for the completion of Belgian striker Lukaku on loan from Chelsea.
When asked about missed opportunities in Inter’s 1-1 draw with Salernitana, the boss replied: “I overlooked it. I wouldn’t just quit Salernitana either, I would also think about the chance against Fiorentina.’
Inzaghi’s side lost 1-0 to Fiorentina earlier this month, with Lukaku missing a close range.

The Italian manger continued: “Those games gave us two results that were not what we had in mind. Those who write and those who talk a lot will be affected by the results, but you need to be clear-headed.
“It’s hard in football to put things aside, but in the last few games, as the team has shown, I’m happy. It is clear that I am disappointed with the result.
“Last year we won 5-0 [against Salernitana] and maybe we didn’t play so well on Friday.
The Italian giants have taken just one point from their last four Serie A matches
“In the first half alone we had four shots on target and scored three, this time we had over twenty and scored one. We know where we were wrong, there is always criticism.’
Lukaku has scored just three league goals in 17 appearances for Inter this season, a stark contrast to his previous spell at the club.
Under Antonio Conte, the Belgian scored 64 goals in 95 appearances as he helped the Italian giants to a Scudetto and Europa League final.
His European form has been better this season with two goals in three appearances, and Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final against Benfica could be the perfect chance for Luakaku to get back into shape.
