Thierry Henry extols Inter Milan and Simone Inzaghi

Thanks to a hard-fought success against Genoa in the post-match match of the 27th day of Serie A, Inter have moved up to 72 points, further distancing second-placed Juventus (-15) and moving considerably closer to the much-coveted second star. During a speech to "Sky Sport UK", former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry spared no compliments toward the work done by Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi and in the performances offered by the Milanese club during this season.

"Simone Inzaghi, I’ve been following him for a very long time, since the Lazio days. If you meet him in a cup game you are in trouble, as the Champions League final against Manchester City showed, which struggled a lot against his 3-5-2. Considering the last winning coaches in the Nerazzurri I prefer Inzaghi’s playing philosophy over Conte’s, becauseé I really like to see the team play that way" began the former Arsenal and Barcelona player.

"Of the coach I really like that like the big European clubs he wants to have the ball often. He can count on a very good quality midfield with Barella, Calhanoglu and Mkhitaryan, who when they have the ball are very good at handling it. Then they have two central forwards like Lautaro who comes up to tie the game and Thuram who attacks the depth well; and also covers space on the left and right when the fifths do not go up. Just look at the goals scored against Juventus and Milan that came precisely because of Marcus" s movement to spread out, added Thierry Henry.

In the next round of the championship l'Inter è awaited by the difficult away match against Thiago Motta’s Bologna, the authentic revelation of this season and in full fight for a place in the next Champions League.
