Pizzi on Inter-Como: “Fierce approach, there’s the derby to put behind us”

The eve of Inter–Como is enriched by an analysis signed by Pizzi, former footballer who spoke to the microphones of TMW Radio. The central theme is the approach that the Nerazzurri could adopt in the match, with the weight of the derby still to be processed.

“All-out attack, because there’s the derby to put behind us,” declared Pizzi. “Their approach will be furious, because if you allow Como to keep possession, it’s a way of defending that drains your energy. You have to think about pushing forward and then managing it differently. Como, like Milan and Roma, can score a couple of goals in a short time and then it’s tough to come back. If you play in Como’s half, Inter can hurt you even from set pieces.”

On Como’s current form, Pizzi emphasized how the victory in the Cup could be a factor: “Inter has to give it back in the league after responding in the Champions League. Como will answer for the super-victory in the cup. Maybe Inter always finds something in terms of possession and play, but I think Como comes into this with something extra, given the win in the Champions League. They’re in a very good moment, it gives you an enthusiasm that can carry you to achieve more feats.”

When asked if a Como victory would be worth a candidacy for the scudetto, the answer was clear: “I already consider them among the possible winners, given the path they’ve taken. They have to win in Milan to certify everything.”
