APPIANO GENTILE (ITALPRESS) – “We have studied Monaco, they are a quality team with excellent offensive players, we have to play a great game, we have done well in these first 7 Champions League matches, but we want to close the qualification discourse among the top 8 already tomorrow, we know that we still have to take this important step.” In these words, to the microphones of Sky Sport, all the charge and concentration of Simone Inzaghi on the eve of the home match against Monaco, valid for the last of the first phase of the Champions League. The Inter coach also talks about some individuals, starting with Taremi’s condition. “He had a small problem due to the Lecce game, he trained in the gym, we will evaluate tomorrow morning, but there are good hopes that he could be available. For the rest Arnautovic is fine, but anyway tomorrow I will have to make evaluations in all departments, we have played so many games and tomorrow we will need to be very careful,” explained Inzaghi, who will certainly have to do without Calhanoglu again. “He, Acerbi and Correa will not be there, we will see if we can have Calha back between Thursday and Friday and we will see if he can be available for Sunday,” concluded the Nerazzurri coach focused yes on the last challenge of the single Champions group against Monaco, but inevitably with an eye already on the February 2 derby against Conceiçao’s Milan.
Benjamin Pavard is also loaded. “There will be a good atmosphere at the stadium, we will have the fans on our side, they are doing well, but we are ready and we will play a great game with the goal of winning,” says Inter’s French defender, used to big matches, but as hungry and ambitious as ever. “I play and we play to win all trophies, everyone has the same mentality as me, the league is very important, but the Champions League also, it’s a goal for us and for the club,” explained the former Bayern man.
