GASPERINI CANNOT BEAT INTER: AN 8-YEAR NIGHTMARE

Experienced head coach Gian Piero Gasperini's Inter nightmare continued in the last match in the Italian Serie A. Despite gaining a great advantage and taking a 2-0 lead in the tough Inter struggle at the helm of Atalanta, his team could not protect its superiority and left the field with a 2-2 draw. With this dramatic result, the Italian coach's years-long bad luck and longing for a victory against the Milan team deepened even more. According to statistics, Inter became the opponent Gasperini defeated the least among the big teams of Serie A. The experienced coach, who could only get five wins against Inter throughout his managerial career, could not see a victory in the last eighteen matches he played against his strong opponent. Gasperini's last victory against the blue-blacks came exactly eight years ago, again while managing Atalanta. Failing to maintain a two-goal lead on the pitch and leaving the field with only one point with the final whistle, Gasperini experienced great disappointment on the sidelines at the end of the match. This historic opportunity missed against Inter became one of the most talked-about events of the week in the Italian sports press. On the other hand, the capital team Roma, aiming for the top ranks in the Italian Serie A, also closed the week with a loss. Unable to establish superiority in its own tough match, the Roma team left the field with a 2-2 draw and dropped two critical points.
