Salernitana, Filippo Inzaghi praises defense and Jerome Boateng

The words of Filippo Inzaghi

Salernitana coach Filippo Inzaghi commented on the draw against Torino to the microphones of Sky Sport: "I asked Boateng for a sacrifice risking him to get injured. Then I lost Pasalidis and put full-backs in the game. One shot each on goal, fair draw. We wanted to be gritty, great defensive game. We had to bring something home and now with Empoli we have to play with this spirit".

"I thought he was telling me if I was crazy to play him, but I wanted to give confidence to the others as well,” he added on Boateng. “It was not easy, he had been stationary for 8-9 months but he gave us availability and I know he will be ready in a while. I thought at one point we would win it, good job by their goalkeeper on Dia’s shot. Coming to Turin and suffering so little, while looking less good than usual, is good. Now even the new ones will have an extra week of training on their legs".

"We have never had Dia until now, player difficult to replace. We have always created a lot, we come from games where we conceded as soon as we conceded something. Today I asked us to be less beautiful because of the emergency we were in, to go on the run in the conditions we were in would have been risky. Great defensive game, up front we will have to do more and already on Friday we will have to play another game. The way forward is clear to us&39;I have it".

"We would like to get to play with Dia and one other point, like in Sassuolo where we had a great game. We will find the right solution, Weissmann è trained once and he will get his chance. Let’s take this point in the meantime, we have many direct clashes that we will have to win" concluded Inzaghi.
