Also in the pre-match press conference before Bayern-Inter, Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi asked for greater recognition for the important results his team is achieving. If in Italy it’s true that Inter often receives criticism after a minor slip-up like the recent one in Parma, it will certainly please him to know that abroad his work is held in high regard.
Speaking on the American network CBS Sports, former French striker Thierry Henry praised Inter and Inzaghi with glowing words: We often talk about the team, but we don’t speak enough about the coach. This coach is exceptional; tactically he’s incredible: you see the centre-back advancing to midfield and the wingbacks pushing up high, and then one defender crosses for another. I haven’t seen many coaches do this in history, especially in Italy. This is a team to be respected and a coach who deserves respect.
