There is no time to enjoy the three points earned from an excellent home win over Parma as it is already time for Inter to prepare for the next match. The Nerazzurri will have to immediately get back on the field for the match scheduled on Tuesday evening in the Champions League against Bayer Leverkusen.
Simone Inzaghi’s Inter, after four consecutive wins following their draw in the debut of the new format against Manchester City, has not yet conceded goals and is second in the standings behind only Liverpool. A win, two rounds from the end of this first phase, would greatly increase the chances of reaching the round of 16 without going through the playoffs.
However, before that, the Nerazzurri team will have to overcome the obstacle of Bayer Leverkusen, a team that is particularly dangerous in European games. A team, coached by Xabi Alonso, who will certainly have to do without the injured Boniface. Doubts, though, on the possible last minute recovery of Patrik Schick.
The Czech striker watched his teammates’ 2-1 victory against St. Pauli yesterday from the stands. However, according to this morning’s report by Tuttosport, there is a slight mystery surrounding the condition of the former Roma player that also hints at some pre-match tactics. A recovery would change the face of an attack in which Wirtz has been forced to make extra efforts recently.
