The tension is palpable ahead of Inter’s clash with Arsenal at San Siro tomorrow. With the schedule getting tighter, coach Simone Inzaghi has made it clear that his team’s focus must remain on the Champions League match, rather than the upcoming league game against Napoli.
Inzaghi stressed the importance of facing Arsenal as one of the strongest teams in Europe. During the pre-match press conference, he said:
“We have two very difficult games ahead of us, let’s take it one game at a time. The first is Arsenal and we have to play two great matches.” The issue of turnover is a hot topic, considering the close commitments. Among the possible choices, a return of Calhanoglu to the field from the first minute is expected, while other players such as Pavard, Dimarco, Barella and Thuram could rest. Inzaghi explained his position on turnover: “I don’t think about a big turnover; every game is unique.” The coach also mentioned the physical condition of the players, with Taremi looking fresher and Arnautovic dealing with a health problem.
The match against the Gunners represents not only an opportunity to earn valuable points in the European competition, but also a test of the solidity of the Nerazzurri group. Darmian acknowledged the difficulty of the match:
“We must take to the field with determination and attention.” The defender highlighted the importance of a cohesive defence and a proactive attack to limit Arsenal’s attacking qualities.
As Inter prepares to take the field, thoughts also turn to the future. Inzaghi expressed satisfaction with his current role, but did not rule out other opportunities in the world of football. With a fascinating championship behind them and a Champions League to face with determination, the Nerazzurri are ready to demonstrate their value against one of the giants of Europe. Tomorrow will be the time to put their ambitions to the test.
