Inter coach Simone Inzagi suggests that Lautaro Martinez will start with Inter or not available at all, but Nerazzuri will need to prevent Lamin Yamal from getting the ball at San Siro.
Nerazzurri’s coach answered questions from the media on Monday on the eve of the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals against Barcelona.
Inzagi has already spoken with Sky Sports Italy and revealed that Lautaro Martinez will be partially training with the team today.
Argentina suffered a muscle injury during last week’s match in Spain.
Inzagi faced more questions about the availability of Intercaptain during the press conference.
The reporter asked the Italian tactician if Lautaro could be used as an alternative, but Inzagi replied (via TMW). Do what’s best for Intel, as I’ve always done for many years. ”
Meanwhile, Barcelona has already announced that Robert Lewandowski will be available tomorrow after missing out on last week’s first leg.
“We know him well. He thinks him among the top three or four strikers in the world. But Ferran Torres saw it on his first foot,” Inzagi said.
“Barcelona scored 15 goals in the opening match without Lewandowski. It’s the first team. We look at them all carefully.”
Catalans are forced to deal with it without Jules Kaunde.
“He’s a great player, but he probably paid the price for the number of matches he played. I’ve read that he played 102 or 104 in a row,” Inzagi said.
Inzagi reveals what Intel needs to do to stop Yamal
“He’s an important player, but Garcia did an amazing job on Sunday. Barcelona is replacing him at the Kondé level.”
Lamine Yamal took on the lead role in Barcelona last week, so how can you stop him?
“It’s difficult, we try to prevent him from getting the ball. It’s almost impossible in modern football. He’s closely marked, he’s doubled and he tries to be careful,” Inzagi said.
“As I said after seeing him alive, he’s an extraordinary talent. He’s incredibly dangerous at his age. They gave him the ball in tough moments and I was impressed by the speed of his thinking.
“Barcelona has 81% in the league and 76% in the Champions League,” continued Inzagi.
“We know their quality and they take risks in defense, but that’s a well-calculated risk from great coaches like Flick, which I highly respect. They are the most prolific team in the world, and have already won two, then compete for two more titles.
“We’ll see if we’ll make tactical changes. The system has been well tested and we’ll play at home this time. The Barcelona statistics don’t really change whether you play at home or away. We played a great game at Montjuic.
