Inter reached the top of the table with a 2-0 victory against Venezia, but the result did not satisfy their coach Cristian Chivu. The Nerazzurri team, which tied the lead with Gennaro Gattuso's Lazio, obtained the three points thanks to two own goals in the final ten minutes, one from Matías Moreno and the other from Halhal. Despite the victory, Chivu expressed dissatisfaction with his team's performance, calling it "the worst match of the season" and stressing that Inter were lucky.
Giuseppe Bergomi, former Inter defender, commented on the match on Sky Sport's microphones. He observed that Inter played "under pace" and highlighted the lack of quality in the performance. According to Bergomi, the team had "a bit of luck" to get the points, even if the two own goals decided the final outcome. The 1982 world champion also analyzed the decisive goals, stating that on other occasions the Nerazzurri could have won thanks to lineup changes, but this time the victory came in a fortuitous way.
The match took place on a day in which Inter improved its position in the league table, but the performance did not meet the manager's expectations. Chivu stated that the team did not give their best and that the victory was lucky. Bergomi confirmed that Inter played "under pace" and highlighted the lack of quality in the performance. The Nerazzurri team will have to try to improve for the next matches, while Lazio remains in first place in the standings.
