Inter-Lecce, Inzaghi: the coach’s words | A league

The request was granted and the mission completed: as Simone Inzaghi had hoped, the goal for which the team had worked a whole week. Head and body, character and race, quality and quantity. The coach is satisfied after the 2-0 win over Lecce: “We played an excellent match, with the right approach without ever lowering the intensity. We wanted to win right from the start – explains Inzaghi – against a team that had created problems everyone. In the second half, Lautaro Martinez’s goal made our job easier, of course”.

Inzaghi’s statements are a barrage of praiseworthy adjectives for his players: “Intense, determined and aggressive. There may be some unexpected events during the game, but the team has never disunited and that’s how games are won “.

We have to keep our concentration high like today, there are still many competitions to face”.

And to those who say that he lacks a Scudetto to truly be a top coach, he replies as follows: “We work every day for that goal, but the past in football doesn’t count and you have to look to tomorrow, which in our case is the away match against the Spice”. And so on with other individuals under the magnifying glass: “Dzeko? Excellent match, always at the service of the team. It wasn’t easy with their central defenders who were always manned. Correa will also be back during the week, we’ll need everyone to play every three days Dumfries started off with two balls that weren’t played well, but last year he did very well and he had continued in the same way before the World Cup. He came back from Qatar a bit unloaded, but he’s working a lot”. If the coach manages to recover all the lost sheep…
