Inzaghi spoke to the press today ahead of their confrontation.
By the end of 2024, Inter will have reached the same level as last year. What are you asking for 2025?
“The objectives for 2025 are exactly the same as when I arrived three and a half years ago. We represent Inter and we must always aim for the maximum. At the moment it is trying to win as many matches as possible, to win as many trophies as possible.” The closest is the one that starts tomorrow evening, a Super Cup that means a lot to us and that we want to win.”
The best Italian teams will face each other in 2024. What message will this challenge send to the Championship?
“Two teams that are doing great in both the Championship and the Champions League will face each other. Atalanta has achieved the greatest success, outside the Europa League, and has been at the highest level for years. That will be the case.” It is very difficult for us, as all matches with Atalanta have always been, we will need a great Inter against an opponent who is doing very well.”
Is there a hint of superstition in Mkhitaryan's presence? And does it represent a mentality where everything has to fall into place?
“Certainly, many things have to fall into place. As far as we are concerned, we are in an excellent moment, but we know that there are pitfalls around the corner. At the moment we are having some difficulty in terms of numbers in terms of defenders. Acerbi and Pavard are stayed at home and we hope to recover in the first half of January. We also have Di Gennaro at home who had a problem with his hand, the others are here and doing well, tomorrow we will try to field a competitive team. “
What does the Supercoppa mean to you?
“A very big goal, we have been title holders for three years. Tomorrow we want to play a great match to reach the final, but we know that three other teams have the same goal as Inter: from tomorrow there will be problems.” We are facing a team like Atalanta, who are currently at the top of Serie A.”
Are you expecting any news from Atalanta?
“Previous matches do not go on the field, they do not yield any points and we know that the transfer market was still open this year. Atalanta had many dropouts, from that match they have had three and a half excellent months.” We know each other in all competitions, we have played against each other many times: it is an excellent physical team with many qualities, we will need a great Inter.”
