Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is considering changing his match management style after being subjected to severe criticism following the draw against Juventus on Sunday.
According to Corriere della Sera, as reported by FCInterNews, the media criticism has not gone down well with the Nerazzurri coach, causing him to re-evaluate his tactics.
Simone Inzaghi came under intense scrutiny after his side came from two goals down in a dramatic 4-4 draw with the Derby d’Italia last weekend.
Despite taking a comfortable lead in the last 20 minutes, Inter were unable to pick up all three points at home.
Kenan Yildiz’s late double from the bench saved a point for Juventus.
Furthermore, Yildiz’s heroics prevented the defending Serie A champions from beating the Torino side in successive league matches for the first time since 2004.
As if that wasn’t frustrating enough, Napoli took advantage of Inter’s stumble to extend their lead at the top to seven points.
While Motta’s substitute turned the game on its head, Inzaghi’s options came back to haunt Inter throughout.

Inzaghi decided to take Benjamin Pavard off just after the hour mark.
At that time, Inter were 4-2 ahead. However, the introduction of Jan Pesek facilitated Juventus’ comeback.
Yildiz outplayed the young German twice to restore parity, putting Inzaghi under the microscope.
However, the criticisms are somewhat unfounded.
With a raft of high-profile injuries depleting his options, Inzaghi must make constant substitutions to avoid a more serious crisis.
In his defence, he did not have Francesco Acerbi at his disposal on Sunday.
But the Italian veteran will not return for today’s trip to Tuscany to face Empoli either.
Therefore, Inzaghi must tread carefully, as Inter cannot afford to drop points at the Stadio Carlo Castellani.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the Scudetto-winning coach will change his style.
Instead of changing his lineup, Inzaghi will likely field his best starting XI to atone for the derby failure.
