Intermanager Simone Inzaghi has taken their shape before their semi-final of the Champions League with Barcelona. The Nerazzurri has had a tough week, after two defeats in the Serie A and Elimination in the semi -final phase of the Coppa Italia by Rivals AC Milan, but Inzaghi does not believe that this will influence them at Montjuic.
“We had to do better in the last three games, but after four years we compete here for all our goals, when some said it would be difficult to get into the top four in Italy. You will never hear me speak badly about my boys or from the club. It is thanks to them that we have been able to do well in the past four years,”
“It is not the most difficult time at which you enter a semi -final of the Champions League.
One of the most important uncertain aspects about Inter is fitness. Marcus Thuram is back in the training prior to the game, while Denzel Dumfries returned against Roma on Sunday. In the meantime, Benjamin Pavard is excluded from the first stage, but there is also a doubt about Federico Dimarco Links.
“Federico is fine. The team is doing well at a physical level. He had a problem, he remained available and I think he played some great games. Tomorrow he will play from the first minute and then we will see how the game is developing,” he told Football Italia.
He was more optimistic about Thuram, who was not present in all three defeats mentioned above.
“Thuram did his first training session with the team today, we have not had it since Bayern. We did well, in short, he has given us good signs, but I have to evaluate tomorrow morning and I will speak again. The others, apart from Pavard, are all there.
Hansi Flick was very careful with the threats that Inter would pose and asked his side to make as few mistakes as possible. On the other hand, Inzaghi was a supplement to the defensive work of Barcelona.
“It is a team that we know, Flick is a great coach who has brought a lot of organization to a great attacking team. They are one of the most organized teams in the world when they lose the ball: the attacking players are all getting better.”
“It is a team that has been built over time, with many players who have come through the youth sector. They have incredible figures and have won two titles, and they compete for more.”
However, Inzaghi had no fear of the fear of the game.
“We have the biggest respect, but no fear. We are talking about Barcelona, Bayern, Real, City, Arsenal-it are all great opponents in a tournament where you have this level of competition, but we have had a great journey. We want a semi-final like a real intercace tomorrow.”
“Everyone has their own philosophy. Bayern is different from Barca, even if they are similar in some ways. We will have to give everything we have done against Bayern, with a lot of fluidity. We have worked a lot of video in recent days and put it on the field.”
Star -striker Lautaro Martinez was a bit of butter about things and said he and his teammates should suffer against Barcelona. The big question for both parties is fatigue, where Barcelona comes after extra time and a Copa del Rey final, while the legs of Inter will be heavy after three defeats in a week. It can be decisive, Barcelona especially trusts in their game intensity for success.
