Tiger Poker January 15 news In the early morning of January 17, Beijing time, Inter Milan will meet Atalanta in the 22nd round of Serie A, and Inter coach Inzaghi Jr. attended the press conference before the game.
How has the victory in the Italian Super Cup brought you? What kind of game are you looking forward to?
We deserved the victory and the opponent played a fantastic game, and although Inter were behind, we always stayed sober. I told the lads that I wanted to see everybody win and they did it in the end, it was a really wonderful experience, I won my first Inter title trophy in front of the fans, it was fantastic.
But the Super Cup is over and we need to look ahead, and although the team has been more relaxed these two days, it must return to a state of tension because the next game is very difficult to play.
Did Gasperini's tactical playing ever inspire you? Especially defensively?
Atalanta has been doing well in recent years under Gasperini, football has developed rapidly in recent years, the use of space is becoming more and more important, tomorrow will be a very physical game, just like the first leg, when the intensity was very large, I think tomorrow's game will be similar.
Is this game a contest for the Serie A title? Will you open the "lion cage" that holds Sanchez?
It will definitely be a title battle, because Atalanta is currently in fourth place and has been at the top of the list in recent years, they are improving every season and can really make a push for the Serie A title. As for Sanchez, he played an important role in the squad and is a very great player and I am very happy to be able to coach him, just as I am very happy to be able to coach other players.
If we go back to the Super Cup's killer goals, first from Correa, then with Di Marco's cross, then Damien's grab of the point, and finally Sanchez's goal, these are the players who came off the bench, and Vidal was also decisive, his role after the debut was huge, and for the coach, the contribution of the replacement players is the most satisfying. Next I'll evaluate the state of the players because a lot of people played 120 minutes and I'll make personnel adjustments depending on the situation.
Will the goal be a fresh start for Sanchez?
He's been fantastic in the last few games, Sanchez is a very strong player, usually very positive, always eager to improve, he is also very enthusiastic in training, I am happy for Sanchez, but I don't think he needs that goal to prove himself, he has been an important resource for the team for the past few months.
Do you want to coach Dybala?
I've heard and read these rumors in the newspapers as well, but I don't like to talk about players from other clubs, I just want to talk about my own players and I'm happy and proud to coach them, including Satriano, although he will soon be loaned out to gain experience in the game, Inter players have always been very cooperative with me.
Inter will face many strong teams next, have you made progress in terms of strong dialogue?
I think the team has improved, I looked back at the first leg against Atalanta and in fact we played well from the beginning of the league and only lost some points because of some mistakes, but whatever the outcome, our excellent performance has helped the team to improve, this team will move in one direction, I think the Super Cup final is proof that the substitutes have helped the team.
Tomorrow will be a contest between two offensive teams, will this game be decided by offense or defense?
It's going to be a very physical game, there's going to be a lot of physical confrontation, and when there's a team like Atlanta, you have to beat the opponent, always be sober, know when to take the initiative to attack, when to solidify the defense, we have to leave the previous wonderful victories behind us and devote ourselves to the next battle, because this game is very important, it is about the league championship game.
You reached the finals 5 times and won the championship 4 times in your coaching career, what is the secret of a single-game tiebreaker?
I have very good players in both Lazio and Inter and certain games can't go wrong, the only thing I ask the players is that I want to see them cheering at the end of the game, I know it takes a lot of factors to win the title, but I think the lads are doing very well because it's very difficult to reverse the score and hold on to it while behind.
Do you expect Chairman Zhang Kangyang to bring you some gifts in the transfer market? Like a new left-wing guard?
I've been in close contact with the president and I'm lucky to have management like Marotta, Osilio and Bachin who are working 24 hours a day, we all know the team can improve, football is constantly evolving, all of us are trying to find a way to get Inter a step further in the table, so if we have the chance, we'll be ready.
Could Sensi and Besino leave the team?
The two of them don't have much space in the team, but I've spoken to them and I'd be willing to keep them because Sensi and Besino are strong and strong, and I remember Sensi's decisive performance against Genoa at the beginning of the season, and in the first leg against Atalanta, Besino's performance after coming off the bench was also very good, although they don't play much now, but if they stay, they will get the corresponding space. But if they are eager to play more games, we will also make an assessment, but the club knows what I think of Sensi and Besino and they have played well at Inter.
Do you think the Inter vs Atalanta match will have a wonderful scene?
I think yes, it's going to be a good game, we're the first and third most goalscoring teams respectively, both teams have a lot of weapons on the offensive end and are perfectly capable of playing spectacular attacking football, so I think it's going to be good and tough at the same time, and we're going to try to cope with it, even though there's not much time to prepare right now.
