The Nerazzurri coach: “The goalkeeper was incredible on Barella and Arnautovic, the journey is long”
It won’t be the match point for the scudetto, because we are only at the beginning of February, but certainly the +4 in the standings with the possibility of +7 is a splendid postcard coming from Giuseppe Meazza. Inter beat Juventus 1-0, forcefully rejecting the – theoretical – possibility of overtaking after the coup of the last day of the championship and Simone Inzaghi enjoys the three very important points while continuing to preach calm and serenity for the goal long-term of the second star: “We took an important and well-deserved victory – explains the Nerazzurri coach at the end of the match -, strongly desired by the group. We are very happy, but it is a stage in a long journey. Juve and Milan are not they’ll give up an inch.”

Inzaghi, as has happened on other occasions, however, still underlines the margins for improvement: “The result is close as far as we have seen. Szczesny kept the game open with two incredible saves on Barella and Arnautovic, Sommer instead remained attentive but well rested … Klaassen? He deserves more space, he’s an extraordinary boy. I deployed him because Frattesi felt a little problem in finishing and Asllani hasn’t been a midfielder for some time.” Inter’s path is now clear to the entire group led by Inzaghi: “There are four intense months to go with many matches on the calendar, we must continue in this way because we have made an extraordinary journey but we are 4 points behind Juventus despite 18 victories on 22. Napoli already had a big advantage last year. Today we just had to slide better on McKennie’s counterattack.” And in the Champions League? “We will try again to follow the extraordinary path of last season despite knowing that already in the round of 16 we have Atlético Madrid to face, a very challenging opponent.”
