Inter Milan 3-2 Monza – INTERViews Podcast Ep. 132: 'Zielinski Injury Means Correa Is A Midfielder Now?'
This is the INTERViews podcast, the official podcast, discussing all things Nerazzurri, today focusing on Inter Milan 3-2 Monza Serie A win. Firstly, in today's episode on Gianmarco and Alessandro discuss, analyze and debate all aspects of the 3-2 win. Inter fielded a very strong side. Only Marcus Thuram was rested. Therefore, it was surprising to see Monza score the first two goals of the match. In fact, Inter dominated the match from the first minute to the last. Meanwhile, Monza capitalized on pretty much their only two chances of the game. Each goal coming from Inter mistakes in the build-up. However, it has to be said Mota and Keita Balde did fantastically well. Mota in the buildup to Birindelli's goal. But above all Keita Balde's finish, was top class. However, moments after Keita Balde doubled Monza's lead, Marko Arnautovic pulled one back. A very important goal before the half-time interval. The second half Inter started where they left off. Subsequently, Hakan Calhanoglu equalized in the 64th minute. It was the former AC Milan midfielder's 50th goal in the Serie A. Then, Inter continued to pile on the pressure. And in the 77th minute scored what became the match-winning goal. At first in looked like Lautaro Martinez scored the winner. However, the goal was adjuged to have been an owngoal. Giorgos Kyriakopoulos was noted down as the culprit. A fundamentally important goal and win. However, a hard-earned one. Not just for staging a comeback, but because Piotr Zielinski came off injured. And much, much more. So sit back, relax and join the INTERViews podcast boys as they break down the Inter Milan 3-2 win at home to Monza.

Keita Balde: ‘Icardi and Wanda Nara are without a heart'
Keita Balde Diao has apologised to his ex-wife after confirming that he had an affair with Wanda Nara, who at the time was married to his Inter teammate Mauro Icardi. 'They are without a heart.' There had long been rumours of off the field issues involving Nara being behind the breakdown of Icardi's rapport with the squad and subsequent departure. The situation got back into the headlines last month when Icardi published an Instagram Story alleging his now ex-wife had cheated on him with Keita Balde. The couple broke up in October 2021 and got back together, but have now definitively separated and are locked in an increasingly ugly battle played out over the media. Now Keita Balde has broken his silence with an interview on Canale 5 show Verissimo, where he sent a video message for his ex-wife Simone Guatieri. 'Betrayal is a word that really burns. It was the biggest mistake of my life, betraying the love of my life,' said Keita Balde. 'She deserves all the love and respect in the world. I want to take on the full responsibility and leave this silence, because the problem is now affecting my family. 'Mauro and Wanda's public game is not part of my life. I am aware of the mistake that I made, I don't blame them entirely, but they know that there are children in this situation who are being affected. 'The way they dragged this all out shows they are without a heart. I felt terribly small after the mistakes I made, but I fight like a lion if my family is affected and I have taken legal action. 'Simona is the only woman I will ever love, for the rest of my life. I am here fighting for you.' Keita Balde and Simona Guatieri have two children together and both have taken legal action against Icardi and Nara. 'They cannot just put our private business into the public sphere for their own ends,' said Guatieri. 'We have a different morality to them. My husband fell into their trap, but kept it to himself. If my husband was to show what she had sent to him… we'd never hear the end of it. 'Icardi should concentrate on football, because this is a short career, he shouldn't get tied up in gossip.' While Icardi is currently at Galatasaray, Keita is now a free agent and is training with Monza for a potential return to Serie A. 'I had forgiven him because we'd only just got married, we had two very small children and I was honestly ashamed,' continued Guatieri. 'I had a chat with Mrs Nara. She was trying to get back into my husband's life. She didn't want me to think badly of her, but I was so angry I don't even remember the call. She denied it and said I ought to take it out on my husband instead.'
