Simone Inzaghi decided to go on the offensive this afternoon during the press conference on the eve of Inter-Arsenal. The Nerazzurri coach, in fact, has decided to draw attention to the schedule of his team this season and particularly the overlap between the Champions League matches and the big domestic league matches.
As Inzaghi highlighted in front of the journalists, this year Inter had to prepare the main big league matches after each round of the Champions League. It happened for instance with Milan, who they played just after their match with Manchester City, or with Juventus a few days after the away match against Young Boys. A scenario that will repeat itself this week, as the Nerazzurri squad will encounter Napoli three days after the match with Arsenal.
This is the coach’s frustration with the possibility of making a lot of changes: “I don’t think so, I am considering one match at a time. Unfortunately, we had three big matches against Milan, Juventus, and Napoli each time against Champions League matches. If you look at the matches of other teams playing in cup competitions next weekend, only Inter has challenging matches and it’s always the case. We are making evaluations, we had a match in Empoli where we were in a numerical advantage and so we didn’t expend a lot in terms of energy. Sunday was a match where we used up more energy, this morning the boys had recovered quite well, but I had more of a video session than on-field training and then tomorrow I will try to put out the most suitable team to play against Arsenal”.
