Pinned: No chance? After drawing Manchester United, Inter Milan's Champions League title odds plummeted to 14th, bottom among teams from Europe's top five leagues.
Saying there was no chance after drawing Manchester United was obviously wrong—very, very wrong.
After all, Inzaghi had said it himself: Manchester United were not completely unbeatable.
There were still two months until the official matches began. Inzaghi could fully adjust the team and prepare for Manchester United!
The Sun—Inzaghi asked about the termination clause during Inter Milan's senior management meeting. He appeared worried about being sacked.
Although the Champions League was still a long way off, Inter Milan fans were visibly panicking, to the point that the club's management had been forced to hold a press conference.
"The management meeting was not held because the team fears Manchester United. Inter Milan have a tradition of holding senior club meetings in December. It is simply because our confidentiality work was done so well in the past that many reporters and fans were unaware of it."
Inter Milan chairman Steven Zhang gave the interview. He was the youngest chairman in the club's history.
"Then what did you discuss at the meeting?"
"Um... that would not be convenient to disclose. But one thing is certain: we are studying how to deal with Manchester United. The Champions League is an extremely important competition, so even if our opponents are Manchester United, we will not give up. I believe in my players."
"If you are knocked out of the Champions League immediately and also fail to win the league, will you sack Inzaghi?"
"Of course not."
Steven Zhang answered quickly, as if he had long known what the reporter would ask. "If the team's poor results are caused by uncontrollable factors, then the coach should not bear all the responsibility.
