Conte did it again. On the regulation time of Saturday's game between Inter against Bologna, he called Eriksen again so that the Dane, with the game already over, could play the garbage minutes. It is the third time that the Lecce coach has humiliated the Dane in this way. He did it against Real Madrid and this time the footballer has sent signs of exhaustion. After the 90th minute Eriksen came in with 3-1 on the scoreboard. Her face was a poem. It is clearly seen in the capture. His name quickly became a trend in Italy, with many defenders and many others criticizing the coach's attitude. Conte settled it after the game in his style. “There is a good relationship with Eriksen,” he said, something the player made clear is not without words coming out of his mouth.
The gesture of disbelief at his substitution was followed by his reaction at the end of the game. I quickly left the field alone, without celebrating the victory with my teammates. He was the only one who reacted like this. As if that were not enough, after a long time since the end of the game the player expressed his feelings on Facebook. Around midnight he wrote “alone” (solo, translated) attaching a photo of him warming up and two emoticons, one of them with a zipper on his mouth. The player knows that his statements when he has gone to play with his team, leaving noticeable his discomfort over his situation, have not been to the liking of his coach and now he is holding back.
However, his reaction and Conte's attitude have been widely analyzed in Italy in recent hours. Critics do not understand the coach, first because the constant humiliation of a player who does not seem to have committed misconduct does not seem acceptable. And secondly, due to the public devaluation of an important Inter asset, especially considering that it can go on the market. The situation of Inter in the Champions League does not help either. As the results do not accompany the championship, the critics will not forgive this gesture.
