APPIANO GENTILE (ITALPRESS) – The one against Lazio tomorrow night at the Olimpico “will undoubtedly be a complicated match: we face an opponent that has won 16 out of 22 official matches and that even when it hasn’t won has played very good games. It will be a difficult engagement that we will have to interpret in the best way.” This is how Simone Inzaghi, at the microphones of Inter TV, approached the challenge against his former team, a Lazio side that is in a great period of form. “We have to give credit to everyone, I’m thinking of the club and the coach,” he says. “Baroni is doing great things, the team is organized and the players are playing very good soccer, with a very good playing proposition: this is right to be highlighted by all of us. After a Champions League match it is never easy to recover physical and mental energy. “We know that international matches take energy away, just look at the results of the last weekend as well, but it is the same for Inter, for Lazio and for all the teams that play in the Cups, and certainly participating in the European Cups is a source of pride and prestige,” Inzaghi stressed. “Tomorrow, however, both teams will do their best to play an excellent match.
This match is also a high ranking challenge. “I had said on the eve of the championship that it would be a balanced tournament, with many pretenders who have strengthened – recalls the Nerazzurri coach -. In my opinion it is fair to consider Lazio as well because, beyond the positive standings, it has a well-organized playing proposition that allows it to be included among the pretenders to victory.” Then Inzaghi admits that “the one with Lazio for me will never be a match equal to the others, although tomorrow it seems to me that it is already the eighth time I face them, the fourth at the Olimpico. I do not forget what has been my path and the trophies won, first on the field and then on the bench. For this I thank my teammates and my players: a thought certainly goes to all of Lazio, to Lotito, to Tare, and to all the players I had afterwards. I am lucky to have worked at Lazio, now I think of Inter: a club where I am very well at the moment and where I feel appreciated by all the components. For this reason,” he concludes, “I am proud of what I am doing here at Inter.
