Filippo Inzaghi is currently in Australia with his Palermo, just like Inter. On the other side of the world, he gave some statements to Gazzetta dello Sport, touching on various topics related to the upcoming Serie A season.
Regarding the upcoming championship, Inzaghi has clear ideas: “What kind of Serie A do I expect? Very balanced. Inter starts ahead of everyone because they won the scudetto and have a very well-equipped team. Juventus is completing their squad very well and Napoli also has an important roster.”
Asked about Lautaro Martinez and the race for the top scorer title, he replied: “Lautaro is a guarantee, but for next year I hope for the definitive breakthrough of an Italian. I say Scamacca because I believe it could be his season. We need to bring a center forward back to the top of the scorers’ chart for the good of the national team.”
Filippo Inzaghi then broadened the discussion about Italian strikers: “And we have good strikers: from Scamacca to Raspadori, passing through the young Pio Esposito and Camarda. Not to forget Kean, to whom I wish to find consistency also with Italy, and Cutrone, someone who never lets you down.”
Finally, a comment about his brother Simone: “I feel he is happy and calm. In my opinion, he needed to take a break from Serie A, which is a complicated environment where you also have to take some criticism. I think he made the right personal choice and I am convinced that he will soon return to Italy or Europe because he deserves it. This year, with the results of our teams in the cups, we understood even more the value of the journey he made in the Champions League with Inter: when he lost two finals, maybe people didn’t fully realize what it meant to get to play for the trophy.”
