Inter Milan players and staff have confirmed a media blackout after their 2-2 Serie A draw against Lazio at the San Siro.
Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, report that the Nerazzurri chose to remain in their dressing room after the frustrating match.
Inter Milan drew 2-2 with Lazio in Serie A this evening.
For the neutral, it was certainly a great spectacle. The Nerazzurri led twice on the night, but the Biancocelesti equalized on both occasions.
For Inter, however, it was a bitterly disappointing result.
The Nerazzurri’s title rivals Napoli had slumped to a 0-0 draw in their own match with Parma.
Therefore, that meant that Inter had the opportunity to go top of the table with just one match to go.
However, the Nerazzurri were unable to take advantage of this golden chance.
Ordinarily, the Inter players and staff have media duties after a Serie A match. They must conduct interviews with various broadcasters, and give a press conference.
However, Sky Sport Italia report, the Nerazzurri turned this down.
The mood in the Inter camp remains bitter after this evening’s match. That is perhaps inevitable after a result such as this, particularly considering the result in Napoli’s match.
Moreover, the Lazio equalizer came after a late penalty, a Yann Bisseck handball.
Sky report that, apart from Inter’s bitterness at the result, there is also frustration with the officiating of Daniele Chiffi.
Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi in fact received a red card right before the Lazio penalty. As did his Biancocelesti opposite number Marco Barconi.
Therefore, Sky reports, the entire Inter squad and coaching staff and squad remained in the dressing room after the match.
