Crespo angry with Inter Milan
teammates
tribalfooball.com - September 28, 2006
Hernan Crespo has told his Inter Milan teammates they can't afford
to implode like they did last night against Bayern Munich.
Crespo was angry with his teammates after Zlatan Ibrahimovic and
Fabio Grosso saw red in the defeat.
"The more experienced players need to bring a little bit more calm
to the locker room and assure there's no need to tear our hair out.
If we can end games with 11 men on the field, then obviously it'd
make things a bit easier for everyone," commented the
Argentine.
"The fact we lost 2-0 at home and ended up in nine men is negative.
We know we made mistakes tonight and were undisciplined, but we can
start again with the knowledge we are strong and that these things
shouldn't happen any more."
Crespo had perhaps Inter's best scoring opportunity just after
Ibrahimovic was sent off, but fired straight at Oliver Kahn.
"We pounced on a mistake and the ball didn't bounce kindly for me,
so the 'keeper was able to make a save. Clearly we didn't play too
well today and now there's no room for error, we must win the next
three matches."
They now face back-to-back ties with Spartak Moscow and must win
both those encounters or potentially crash out of Europe
altogether.
"We're also taking on Sporting Lisbon at San Siro and must try to
get nine points before we go to Munich for the final match. We've
still got a good chance of progressing in this competition,"
insisted Crespo.
