JUST IN: Angry Rossoneri gaffer Pioli refuses to Apologies after lashing out on Board and players to Fans – The Verdict

“Why should we make an apology to the fans?” Do you believe we made a mistake? Do you believe we intended to lose the derby? Do you think we wanted to give Inter five goals?” Stefano Pioli was enraged after AC Milan was thrashed 5-1 by arch rivals Inter Milan on Saturday.

“We are dissatisfied. We intended to contribute something else to our followers, but we were unable to do so. I believe you must apologize when you have done anything wrong; we did everything we could.”

Coming into the Derby della Madonnina, the Milan teams were the only ones with the most points in Serie A. Inter, on the other hand, found a new great player with a familiar name in Serie A, as Marcus Thuram assisted the Nerazzurri.

The victory also aided Inter’s unblemished start to the season. Thuram’s father, Lilian, was a defender for Parma and Juventus before winning the World Cup with France in 1998.

Inter is currently the only team to have won all four of its opening games, and the Nerazzurri have moved two points clear of Juventus, which defeated Lazio 3-1 earlier in the day. Milan trails Inter by three points.

AC Milan, on the other hand, has lost five consecutive derbies, the most recent being the heaviest in 14 years.
Marcus Thuram scored a spectacular goal shortly before halftime on Saturday to double Inter’s lead.

having had a key role in the fifth-minute opener. Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored it, as well as Inter’s third, after Rafael Leo had brought Milan back into the game in a torrential downpour at San Siro.

Former Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu added a penalty 11 minutes from time, and Inter’s night was completed in stoppage time by Davide Frattesi.

Thuram’s second Inter goal in as many games. He has also contributed three assists in four games since coming on a free transfer from Borussia Mnchengladbach.

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi was questioned if Thuram could surpass former Nerazzurri sensation Romelu Lukaku.

“This is clearly a comparison that time will tell,” Inzaghi laughed. “I don’t think it’s appropriate to discuss individuals.

“Thuram was really good; he needs to keep it up; he’s fitting in very well; he’s always ready, but it’s reductive to talk about individuals tonight after seeing the entire squad work so well.”

Defending champion Napoli is five points behind Inter after drawing 2-2 at Genoa after coming back from two goals behind.

Thuram utilized his muscle to hold off Milan defender Malick Thiaw and provide a low cross for Federico Dimarco, whose attempt at a shot was volleyed in by Mkhitaryan.

Thuram scored in the 38th minute after receiving an overhit pass from Denzel Dumfries on the left side of the box. He was anticipated to cross, but instead cut past Thiaw and curled a stunning strike into the top right corner.

The rain continued to fall steadily in the second half, and Milan re-entered the game 12 minutes after the interval when Leo tapped home an outstanding pass from Olivier Giroud. Inter had surrendered for the first time this season.

However, Inter restored its two-goal lead in the 69th minute when Mkhitaryan finished off a brilliant team move, and the Nerazzurri sealed the game when Alhanoglu converted a penalty after Tho Hernandez tripped Lautaro Martnez.

Frattesi concluded a fantastic week by scoring his first Inter goal after scoring two goals for Italy against Ukraine in the same venue on Tuesday.
