APPIANO GENTILE – After the league match against Sassuolo which saw a beautiful and convincing victory for the Nerazzurri, it is time for Inter to go back to thinking about the Champions League. Tomorrow evening Antonio Conte’s team will qualify for the final phase of the tournament, and will do so in Germany, where the only result to be able to still hope for qualification is victory. The Inter coach recovers Brozovic and in tomorrow night’s match Romelu Lukaku should return from the first minute, resting in the victory in Reggio Emilia. These are the first words of the coach: “Too much heartfelt match with Real Madrid? Many negative judgments have been expressed for the match against Real and I have heard of people talking about the match where Real did what they wanted, forgetting that at 30th we were 10 and we had suffered a penalty after 4 minutes, I challenge anyone to be able to change. I reiterated that I was satisfied with the efforts made by the boys but we created those situations. Tomorrow we will have to leave the pitch without regrets “
CONVINCTION ABOUT PASSAGE – “We started this path that we were arbitrators of our destiny and today if we are no longer it means that we have missed some situations. Having said that the only way to stay alive is to win tomorrow and we know it won’t be easy, they have shown their strength and at the same time it can be an opportunity for us to follow up on a path that started in Europe where you play competitions inside. -out and important matches “
HAKIMI – “I don’t like talking about singles, go see what I said about Hakimi at the beginning of the season. We are talking about a player of great potential who has to work a lot on the defensive phase. The expectations we have in Italy are very high, compared to the German and English ones, especially Inter. He must continue to work knowing he too the pressures that there are “
TACTICAL BALANCE – “As for the tactical set-up, I continue to reiterate a very simple speech, we found ourselves after a very short time of rest to play official matches that have not worked for Inter, like Kolarov, Hakimi, Vidal, maybe him and Darmian who had already played with me and were more tested. However, we had to put players on the pitch in official matches who maybe should have worked harder and we found ourselves having to throw them into the fray. You can also find balance by playing, sometimes we managed it, others less “
These are the words of Andrea Ranocchia: “Comparison after Real Madrid? I don’t know what comparison we are talking about, we always analyze the races where you see the positive and negative things as with all the races, I don’t see any turning points. We had two excellent matches, the first conditioned by the episodes against Sassuolo we made a splendid performance. First leg? Tomorrow we will have to face it with the same spirit as on Saturday, we face a strong team, who are doing well, very physical. We must be convinced of what he is doing, there are no other results other than victory tomorrow. I believe that what we have shown last year and what we are showing this year with all the difficulties involved, let’s not forget that our season has been continuous. Ours is a path of growth with many difficulties and we are still in the race for qualification, we can think of passing the round, this must be our goal. We are still up there in the championship, here when things go well you see the positive aspects and when they go bad everything seems to be thrown away. Every moment must be read correctly. Why does this happen? I don’t know, but it’s the whole external environment, team, society, it has always been like this, since I’ve been here. Maybe before Inter were used to raising trophies every year, 10 years of non-victories have passed. Journalists and the media also need to change their way of relating. Now attack Hakimi, this is wrong, a newly arrived player who has to settle in, often the judgment of situations is very hasty. The strength of this team is that we have so many players who can play, there will be room for everyone. What I hope is more rational on your part is what they say “
