Inter coach Andrea Stramaccioni has sensationally branded his side?s campaign as a ?cursed season? after they succumbed to their 12th loss on Sunday.
Cagliari continued with their good domestic run by stunning the Nerazzurri to a 2-0 defeat, in which a dubious penalty decision once again went against Inter.
If that wasn?t bad enough, the squad?s injury list continued to grow as both Yuto Nagatomo and Walter Gargano were substituted due to injury, with the former having spent just eight minutes on the park.
“Unfortunately, after an excellent first half in which we came out and took the game to them, with [Tomasso] Rocchi, [Ricky] Alvarez and [Esteban] Cambiasso,? he told Sky Italia.
?If we want to talk about football then the key was yet another injury: Gargano’s. It really is a cursed season for us.
?And then there was Nagatomo’s injury. It’s been an incredible year. Cagliari went on to deserve the win but it’s a shame because yet again there was no penalty there and it affects a team already struggling with its own problems.?
?I think we got our approach to the game right. There was a close call on Rocchi in the first half too, which might have been a free kick and a red card.?
Inter publicly voiced their frustrations at having had a continuous stream of controversial decisions go against them, and despite being left frustrated by it all, Stramaccioni says there is no ulterior motive behind it.
?The penalty was a gross error. Last Sunday I was angry because the ref had blown for something that hadn’t happened,? he continued.
?I don’t believe there’s anything ulterior behind it, it’s just a mistake, but then a week later we get another episode like today’s… Silvestre pulled his foot out the way. How can you give a penalty like that??
