Simone Inzaghi insists that the second stage of Inter's Champions League Last-16 draw with Feyenoord “will not be easy”, even though the Nerazzurri will draw up a 2-0 lead on Wednesday.
Objectives on both sides of the tranquility in the Kuip of Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez put Inzaghi's silk in control halfway through the bag.
Inter could have returned to San Siro for next week's rematch with an even bigger advantage, if Timon Wellenreuther had not saved the penalty of Piotr Zielinski later.
The Serie A -Leiders have admitted only one goal this season in their nine Champions League matches, and Inzaghi was happy with the attitude that his players in Rotterdam have demonstrated.
“[Lautaro and Thuram] then played a great game [Mehdi] Taremi and [Marko] Arnautovic also came up and did well, “said the Nerazzurri-head coach reporters during his press conference after the game.
“Everyone did well on the wings. [Francesco] Acerbi, [Alessandro] Bastoni, [Yann] Bisseck, also for the availability they showed. It was not a simple game and the second stage will not be either. “
Inzaghi also greeted stand-in-goalkeeper Josep Martinez, who has been deported to Yann Sommer in recent weeks, with the latter being a broken thumb against Juventus last month.
The Interbaas acknowledged that Martinez's versions between the sticks left him with a selection headache when Sommer returns from an injury.
“Martinez showed his qualities [against Feyenoord]What nobody had doubts about, “Inzaghi added.” He was very good at staying calm and adjusting well.
“Being the goalkeeper of Inter is not easy, [but] We have a keeper like Sommer, who has great experience and does well. I will evaluate [the choice] Calm, but I am satisfied with everyone. “
