An almost impossible challenge, successful only once in the history of the Champions League, and thanks to the away goal that this year is no longer worth double. Inter flies to Liverpool with the best formation and determined to sell their skin dearly. Also because doing well at Anfield would also be useful in terms of the championship. And then there will be 5 days to recover before Torino.

Anfield and mentality

Simone Inzaghi does not turn around: “In the first leg the result penalized us. We had a great match, the result was too penalizing. Tomorrow’s game is very difficult but we will play it with confidence and great motivation. Obviously, score a goal. in the first half it would be very important. We had three days to prepare for the match, the boys are concentrated and we worked well. We find the strongest team in Europe with Bayern Munich and Manchester City. We will find a warm environment, it was great to play the game first leg and tomorrow it will be even more difficult than the San Siro match. Those are those matches that make everyone grow. After years, Inter are back in the Champions League round of 16, certainly the draw didn’t help us. after an hour of the game the situation was compromised? I hope it does not happen, but for sure in the last two months we have had many commitments. qualified Barella and Kolarov, who is off the list. Steven Zhang will also be there, but the entire management has always been very close to us. ”

That recovery of Bologna

There is also a question about the recovery with Bologna, after yesterday Pioli had invoked a ‘real’ classification as soon as possible. “In Bologna I would have liked to play on January 6 – says Inzaghi laconic -. They didn’t give us the chance, there is an appeal and we are waiting to be told when it is possible to recover the match”.

Next to Inzaghi is Alessandro Bastoni, 22-year-old new father with the air of a veteran: “In the first leg we played a great game, putting Liverpool in difficulty, we all know what history it has. It won’t be easy to overturn it, but we have reviewed the game and the mistakes made, we have faith. Fatherhood is a completely different emotion from those you can feel in a football field. Of course, having a family that gives you peace of mind and serenity makes everything easier even on the pitch. It has certainly helped me a lot. . Anfield? It will be a wonderful emotion. Already this summer I tasted the English stadiums with the Wembley final which luckily went well for us. It will help me and my teammates to grow and become aware at European level. The pressure ? If you are afraid of playing these games you have to change your profession. I can’t wait for 21 tomorrow. ”
