Inter, Simone Inzaghi fearless with Benfica

Simone Inzaghi’s words.

Simone Inzaghi sounds the charge on the eve of the Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Benfica. “We know the importance of the match. We have made a great run very difficult. That’s why we will have to try to play a great game. We are facing an undefeated team in the Champions League that has scored 28 goals so far. They are a quality opponent, but we are Inter and we have been training well. The last three matches have been good, but not followed by results. In the league and Coppa Italia the team had good matches not followed by the result, but against Fiorentina and Salernitana we shot 40 times on goal. Now we have difficulty scoring, which never happened last year. We have to analyze what happened, work harder and believe in it. Tomorrow will be a not easy game against a strong opponent. But we know that together we can take a lot of satisfaction. The goal was to be running on everything in April. In the league we have some difficulties, but we can get back in.”

“Last year we won 5-0 and maybe we didn’t play as well as we did on Friday. Only in the first half we had made four shots on goal and three goals, this time we made more than 20 and scored one. We know where we went wrong. Criticism is there and always will be,” he concluded.

Closing remark on Lukaku: “Humanly I spoke about the head but I would not stop only at the Salerno game but also the match against Fiorentina. Those who write and those who speak are often also influenced by the results, but you have to be lucid. For the game expressed in the last games I am happy, but disappointed with the result.”
