Superstar Inter Milan Midfielder Admits Inzaghi's Departure Was ‘Strange News' – Adds ‘This Group Is Not Divided'
Superstar Inter Milan Midfielder Admits Inzaghi's Departure Was 'Strange News' – Adds 'This Group Is Not Divided' Nicolo Barella admits that it came as 'strange news' when Simone Inzaghi decided to leave Inter Milan. The 28-year-old spoke to Italian broadcaster DAZN, via FCInterNews. He also insisted that the Nerazzurri are 'not divided.' Advertisement Simone Inzaghi left Inter Milan right at the start of June. The timing of the 49-year-old's exit was certainly particularly significant. He departed just a few days after Inter had lost the Champions League 5-0 against Paris Saint-Germain. Moreover, there had been rumours about Inzaghi's departure floating around for weeks before he made his decision. Inzaghi made the decision to leave the Nerazzurri and join Al-Hilal. This came right after he had decided to depart. However, it was not as though Al-Hilal had just come onto the scene. Nicolo Barella Admits 'Inzaghi Leaving Inter Was Strange News' Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella admits that Inzaghi leaving was 'strange news.' Advertisement 'After four years, it had been habit to be with him,' the Italian international continued. 'When I was at Cagliari, I went through a lot of changes of coach. And even at Inter.' 'I know how it works,' Barella continued. 'I'm not saying I'm used to it. But I know how it works.' 'The only thing I did was thank Inzaghi and his staff,' added the 28-year-old. 'For the four fantastic years, years of growth and great feelings.' Then, Barella gave his thoughts on Inter at the Club World Cup this summer. 'I agree 100% with the idea that you always have to compete,' he said. 'That was a reflection of last season.' Advertisement 'We didn't manage to win,' Nicolo Barella added. 'But it was a season that left us with a lot, both negative and positive.' 'Now we're here to pick ourselves back up and do the best we can.' And Barella said of Inter's mentality after the Champions League final that 'I don't think that the group is divided.' 'But logically, after certain losses, you start to feel a certain discomfort.' 'When you win everything is fine,' Barella said. 'But I don't think that there's anyone in the group who doesn't want the best for Inter.'

Evans 'work in progress' after fine Eastbourne win
Dan Evans will compete in the men's singles at Wimbledon after being given a wildcard [Getty Images] Britain's Dan Evans says he is "the most confident I have been on grass for a long time" after sealing his second win over a top-50 player in as many weeks. The 35-year-old, playing as a wildcard entry at Eastbourne, beat world number 49 Miomir Kecmanovic 3-6 6-4 6-4 in two hours and nine minutes. Advertisement It provides further encouragement for the former British number one, who recently regained his place in the world's top 200 and has been given a Wimbledon wildcard. After beating world number 13 Francis Tiafoe at Queen's last week, Evans followed that up with a hard-fought victory over Serbia's Kecmanovic in the south-coast sunshine. "In whatever time I have left it is a work in progress," Evans said of his recent performances. "Sometimes it takes time. I have been battling away to get levels on court, but this is the most confident I have been on grass for a long time." Advertisement Kecmanovic broke Evans twice in the 39-minute first set, but the Briton hit back at the start of the second, and celebrated with a massive fist pump. Evans raised his game in the second set, getting 80% of his first serves in compared with 63% in the first and recording four aces. After being denied three set points, he took the fourth to force a decider. He needed treatment to his right foot before third set commenced, but then broke Kecmanovic in the first game with a timely stroke of luck - the ball catching the net cord and dropping dead over the other side as the Serb could only look on exasperated. Both men were below their best in the decider exchanging four successive breaks of serve, however Evans eventually held his nerve to serve out the match. Advertisement Ultimately he was more consistent than his higher-ranked opponent - Kecmanovic hit 33 winners to Evans' 22, but the Serb's 42 unforced errors were almost double the number made by the Briton. Evans will play American second seed Tommy Paul in the next round. It was good news for the Britons in the women's singles too, as UK number five Francesca Jones beat Belgium's Greet Minnen 6-4 7-5. Fonseca claims first win on grass Earlier at Eastbourne, highly rated Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca claimed his first ATP Tour win on grass by beating Zizou Bergs of Belgium in three sets. Fonseca, 18, recovered from a bruising tie-break defeat in the opening set to claim nine consecutive games on his way to beating Bergs 6-7 6-0 6-3 in two hours and seven minutes. Advertisement The hype is continuing around the youngster labelled Brazil's newest sporting superstar. Fonseca, ranked a career-high 57th in the world, attracted global attention by beating Andrey Rublev at the Australian Open in January and has admirers including Novak Djokovic. He will have another chance to test himself against the world's best in the second round at Eastbourne, where he will face reigning champion and top seed Taylor Fritz. "I'm very happy to win my first match on grass," Fonseca said after his victory. "Eastbourne is such a nice place. "In the second set, he was in trouble and I was more confident. In the third we were both nervous, so I just needed to focus on my serve. Advertisement "Playing Fritz is good experience, and the crowd is good - I see some Brazilian shirts, which is really nice." The first set lasted 66 minutes and was dominated by the serve without a single break point until the tie-break, which Bergs won 10-8. However the Belgian's level significantly dropped in the second set as Fonseca raced to 6-0 in 24 minutes, scoring 25 points to Bergs' eight. Bergs briefly halted Fonseca's momentum in the deciding set, but a perfectly measured half-volley forehand dink across court moved the teenager 4-2 ahead before he served out the match.
