MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “We have to continue as in the last 11 games, in which we collected nine wins and two draws, but the other teams are also running like us. It will be a long journey, all of them have strengthened and like us they will want to get to the top.” Inter coach Simone Inzaghi said this on the eve of the Champions League match at San Siro against German side Leipzig. “The referees? We need everyone to give them a hand, myself included – added the Nerazzurri coach in a press conference – Leipzig? They are a team that has been in the Champions League for six years, played a semifinal and until Saturday had the best defense in the Bundesliga. They are a recognizable and quality team, very organized, and the Champions League standings do not reflect their value.” “Our path must continue by looking little farther ahead, thinking about Leipzig and not the league,” Inzaghi continued. “Frattesi? He has been dragging a little ankle problem for ten days, he will be evaluated because today he was not calm and did not feel right. We hope not to lose him, he is decisive and will be for this Inter. Lautaro and Calhanoglu had two good training sessions and tomorrow morning I will evaluate what to do for the lineup; for Acerbi it is a contracture and not an injury, we will see if we will recover him by Sunday.” “San Siro is a stadium that drags, I hope to stay at Inter for a long time to breathe this atmosphere. Taremi? I am very happy with how he is working and how he has fit in. He knew that he would find competition and so it was, I have great confidence in him – added the Nerazzurri coach in the press conference – Bastoni? He played sixty minutes on Sunday despite two games with the national team and I think he can start as a starter, however, I have not decided yet,” Inzaghi concluded. – Photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
