Inter Milan coach Inzaghi relieved after thrashing Bologna: I feared this game

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi was delighted with their 6-1 rout of Bologna.

Inzaghi admitted he went into the game concerned.

“I feared this game, because after Wednesday against Real Madrid where we deserved more, there was some concern. Fortunately, the lads took the right approach from the very beginning," he said.

“At times you need to analyse a game without looking at the result. I congratulated the lads on how we played against Real Madrid, but then told them off because you can't lose after creating that many chances.

“Sometimes you can have 18 shots and not score, as we did against Real Madrid, whereas this time we broke the deadlock straight away and that made it easier. Inter deserve credit, because Bologna were unbeaten so far this season in Serie A."

oaquin Correa went off after just 20 minutes after a collision left him with a badly bruised hip.

Inzaghi added: “Correa is having tests right now. Stefano Sensi is not available at the moment, but he has so much quality that I'd like to see him play as a support striker as well as in midfield.

“I had intended to rest Dzeko today, but when we lost Correa, I couldn't use Alexis Sanchez for 70 minutes. I managed to rest Hakan Calhanoglu and Ivan Perisic."
