Ever Banega Believes Slow Starts Are Costing Inter Victories
Inter have conceded first in all but one of their competitive games this season and Ever Banega is keen for them to break that habit.
Inter midfielder Ever Banega believes slow starts are costing Frank de Boer's side after they went down to a 2-1 Serie A loss at Roma.
Edin Dzeko gave the hosts a fifth-minute lead, meaning Inter have conceded inside the first 15 minutes of each of their past three winless matches in all competitions.
Banega produced a coolly taken equaliser before Kostas Manolas sealed the points for Roma, meaning the Argentina international's first Inter goal came as little comfort.
"It's a shame my goal ultimately didn't help," he told reporters.
"It was a very difficult game and we created so many chances, it's disappointing to emerge empty-handed.
"We must continue working and going forward to get back to winning ways as soon as possible.
"It's a pity about the goal at the start, then we failed to make the most of our opportunities. This game teaches us not to repeat the same mistakes.
"We must learn to start strong in the opening 15-20 minutes and not just react to going behind."
