The Inter coach after the 2-1 in the Champions League: “Salzburg are young and lively, Simic is good. Alexis’ condition is improving day by day”
First place in Serie A, first place in the Champions League group. It just can’t go better than this at Inter. Simone Inzaghi obviously has part of the credit, but above all he has handfuls of reasons to smile at the end of the match: “It’s a very important victory for the purposes of qualification and the group. We knew that Salzburg were young and lively – explains the coach – when they we took measures and played well. We were always in the game, even after the missed goal where we should have done better, and we deservedly won against a team that we knew would worry us.”

The next European match, in two weeks, is at the home of Salzburg: “It’s a very balanced group and every match has great importance, we will have two consecutive away games to prepare knowing that no one gives you anything in the Champions League. They have many players to rotate in a deep squad, we expected Konaté and then Simic played, but well.” Obviously Alexis Sanchez also deserves a place in the sun this time, who was fundamental for breaking the deadlock: “I’m happy that he scored, he deserves it. We certainly won’t find out now that he’s a very important player both with and without the ball, the His physical condition is improving day by day.” Now, our minds really turn to Inter-Roma on Sunday, with Inzaghi who however ignores the meeting with Romelu Lukaku: “We’re coming into the next match well, with two important victories against two difficult teams to face. We need to recover mental and physical energy, because Champions League matches take away a lot of strength.”
