A brace scored by Slovenian midfielder Valter Birsa, got to upset Frank de Boer's presentation as the new Internazionale Milano manager. This result was nowhere near what al the Inter fans were expecting, they were supposed to start with a victory and convinced with that Dutch school of football we all know that is so characteristically offensive. The coach wasn't happy with the end result, but he attempted to motivate his players to shake off this defeat soon.
Talking to Mediaset Premium, De Boer said: "We are very disappointed by the result and have a lot of work to do. I am confident we will improve, both in terms of the football and physically. Next week we will try to do better. I chose this system because we are not in the best shape. We played three at the back based on our condition and the way Chievo play.
"We conceded a goal in the most difficult moments, the game went because we are not at our best physically. When you concede that type of goal, it's difficult, but this is football. I think fitness levels influenced our tempo and that is why I decided to play with three. We had only one friendly match together, so I haven't had much time to improve these aspects."
