Simone Inzaghi said that in the Serie A and the Champions League, “we need to be better in terms of organization as there is no budget for Paris Saint-Jester City, Manchester City or Bayern Munich.”
Nerazzurri held the final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 31 after an extra-time victory at San Siro in the epic Champions League 4-3 Barcelona on Tuesday.
Despite that distraction and efforts throughout the week, they left Studio Olimpico Grande Torino with all three points thanks to a magical Nikola Zarefsky moment and a penalty from Chrisjan Aslani.
That means Inter is on the top of the table alongside Napoli, waiting for Partenopey’s match against Genoa tonight.
“I’ve been playing before the game, unfortunately, Scudetto is no longer in hand, but I need to continue playing in focus like tonight. I’ve done my best to the team that hasn’t been lost yet in front of home fans.
Zalewski was given the unusual hybrid role, dropping deep to help the midfield, but was also pushed up to attack.
“He’s doing very well and has a lot of quality. He actually starts out as a Metz-ala and can also work as a wingback,” Inzagi explained.
“We were lonely without players like Karjanoguru and Barrera, so we worked so hard to play only a portion of the game, so we had the opportunity to use Zalewski in Correa, which supports Taremi.
Inzaghi needs to rotate teams between limited teams
The game was suspended several times due to weather, including pitch inspections during the 30-minute halftime break.
“I need to give the youngsters a break after a long hard season. For players who were absent today, we won’t be able to get any of them back to Lazio, but we will see the final match against Como.
“We must train with calm and joy, as anxiety goes nowhere.”
This was also a historic milestone for Inzagi. This was the 150th Serie A match on the inter-bench and the 100th victory in competition with the club.
The coaches took the club to two Champions League finals, more than anything, in just three years.
“We re-watched the semi-finals against Barcelona. We wanted to see it from a different angle, so everyone gave it everything. That’s the only way we can reach the final of the Champions League,” Inzagi said.
“People say Inter has a small team, but there’s no budget for Paris Saint-Jester City or Bayern Munich, so we need to be better in terms of organization. With this mind, we can compete with everyone.”
