Inzaghi against Milan
Inzaghi did not hide when he was asked to weigh the importance of the match: “The stakes are very high, but we know well that we have won the last five derbies and they have given us great joy, they have allowed us to reach in the Champion final. Tomorrow, however, the past will count for nothing. We will have to put into play what we have, against a team second in the standings who will do everything to make the derby very difficult.”
Inter’s season
The finish line can now be clearly seen from Pinetina and Inzaghi has begun to distribute the credit for the success among those who have shared work and effort with him: “I just have to thank the people who are with me, first of all the players and then move on to my collaborators They have been with me for many years, they have helped me a lot in this long journey. I have a great company behind me, we have a really strong company starting from the president, then moving on to Marotta, Ausilio, Baccin, Zanetti e Ferri: all people who love Inter and are ready to give everything to improve, all together we always try to find the best solution. And then we have all these fans, I don’t forget anything: the final in Istanbul was a beautiful moment, but we still lost a Champions League final. The fans have always been close to us, today there are so many of them and then together with the team we will go and say goodbye to them: they deserve it, once we reached the finish line we did it by all working together, from the players to everyone else.”
Inzaghi and his history with Inter
Inzaghi, in his third year at Inter, is about to win the Scudetto. After Pioli’s Milan and Spalletti’s Napoli. “Victories and trophies in football count a lot. But I am happy with what we have managed to create, as a synergy, together with the club, the team, the fans. I have lived in Milan for three years, after 22 years in Rome I came and in three months the people I met complimented me on how the team played. It’s the best compliment possible.”
Inzaghi and compliments to Pioli
Milan, like every other opponent, has been studied down to the smallest detail. Inzaghi doesn’t trust Stefano Pioliwhose future at the Rossoneri is increasingly in the balance: “I can say that for me he is a great coach and an excellent person, I dealt with him when he was at Lazio, he always gave me great availability. He did a excellent journey at Milan, then I can’t say what his future might be. I wish him the best from Tuesday.”
