Inzaghi: “Good Milan, Inter knows their strength. And on penalties …”

Negative at Covid but positive (with judgment) on the season finale that awaits his Inter. Simone Inzaghi speaks on the eve of a very heartfelt derby, not only because with a victory the Nerazzurri would place a very heavy extension in the Scudetto key.

Not decisive, but …

It is inevitable to frame the derby also in the light of the turnaround compared to the first leg match. At that time Inter started from -7, now with a potential +7 (recovery with Bologna). “It will be a very intense, stimulating period – explains Inzaghi -. We face many highly prestigious opponents. Tomorrow it will be a very heartfelt derby, the boys are aware of it, they are concentrated. I hope they are also with a free mind, aware of the strength we have to play. Individual and team level. However, it will not be a decisive derby. We saw the first leg: in the derby we had 7 points less, we equalized it and then we were very good at closing the gap. It is a very important match, we know what it represents for the two fans but with 15 games at the end there is a lot to play. We know the path we started this summer with the boys and the club. It was a path with great unknowns, we were good at making things go better of the ways but we know that it must be a stimulus so as not to let our guard down and be even more responsible from here to the end “.

Market and penalty taker

A comment on the market (“I am happy, I thank the managers and our great president who is physically with us at the moment. For Gosens we will have to wait a little longer but it is an excellent purchase, we all know him. trained for many years, there was this opportunity after Sensi left. We were ready “) and a clear answer going back to an episode of the first leg:” Who will shoot a possible penalty? In the meantime I have to make general assessments after finishing in the afternoon, especially on the South Americans. We have a list of penalty takers that you all know. If it happens we will see, but Lautaro (who already worked in part in the group yesterday) is the first. Then we have Calhanoglu, Perisic, Sanchez. Many can kick him. “

Predictions and standings

Inzaghi goes away in dribbling when asked how he feels as a favorite: “I’ve played many derbies, there are never favorites with different rankings and even more so now with two strong, organized teams. The episodes will make the difference. we will have to be good at guiding them. Then the motivations can make the difference. Milan were in an excellent moment, they had a decline thanks to some injuries. I know Pioli, he is very prepared and gives a great organization to his teams. Now from Empoli in then they played excellent games, they had some difficulties playing on that field against Juve like us with Venice. The field has been rolled up so it will be great to play there. It is a pity that there cannot be 75 thousand people, but only half. ” And on the Scudetto race he explains: “The classification is true. Everything is very open. In addition to Milan and Napoli there are Atalanta and Juventus who are very strong. Juventus were my favorite in the summer, in the last two months they have made a great path and a large repair market. Fifteen lots are available. ”
