Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi continued his verbal war with his Napoli counterpart Antonio Conte after Monday’s win at Lazio.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Inzaghi’s post-match outburst was targeted at the ex-Nerazzurri manager.
“A lot of people couldn’t wait for us to stumble,” Inzaghi stated after overseeing a 6-0 rout at the Stadio Olimpico.
It was a telling response from the reigning Scudetto holders following a last-minute UEFA Champions League heartbreak last midweek.
Indeed, Inter slumped to a late 1-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen, prompting Conte’s provocative claims.
However, Inzaghi’s charges wasted no time silencing their critics.

Inter delivered a dominant display against Lazio to underline their title credentials.
In doing so, they gave Inzaghi enough ammunition to hit back at his predecessor.
With Inter and Napoli likely to fight for the Scudetto this term, this psychological momentum could be crucial.
Despite a home loss to Lazio last weekend, Conte’s men remain firmly in the title mix.
Only a point separates them from second-placed Inter, though the Nerazzurri have a game in hand.
However, Inzaghi’s lads have seemingly hit the ground running following a see-saw form in the first two months.
Therefore, they’ve solidified their status as the frontrunners in a fiercely contested title battle.
