The statements of the Nerazzurri coach given to the DAZN microphones at the end of Inter’s victory against Atalanta away.
5th game of the season away, 5th win for Inter. The Nerazzurri defeated Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium and solidified their lead in the standings. At the end of the match, Simone Inzaghi spoke to the DAZN microphones:
“The guys were excellent, we knew it was going to be a tough game. In the first 15 minutes, Atalanta put some pressure on us, but then we just took control. Until 2-0, we were in complete control of the match, but unfortunately, they scored the 2-1. Atalanta is a great team; they hadn’t conceded a goal at home. Just look at the first goal; Darmian had just come on without a warm-up, and he entered perfectly.”
Pavard? It’s the only negative note of the evening; his kneecap dislocated and then popped back in. The boy is calm, and the doctors will take some time. In my opinion, we’ll be without him for a while. The doctors did an excellent job putting the kneecap back in place, now we have to wait and see.”
“The substitutions? In the first half, I lost one (Pavard’s injury); I wanted to bring in Sanchez earlier, then I had doubts because I saw Dumfries looking a bit tired, and I wanted to insert Bisseck. At the same time, I saw Calhanoglu, who had a great game, and then I brought in Asllani, who I know is always ready.”
Atalanta’s goal? “It seemed like a foul; the referee, in those moments, it’s not easy. We were hoping for a whistle, but the referee applied the same standard throughout the game. He officiated well.”
Lautaro? He needs to continue like this; the forwards are doing a great job. Sanchez came on very well, and for the next game, we’ll also have Arnautovic back. We need to keep it up. It will be a tough week for us, including the game in the Champions League. We’ll face Salzburg, an opponent that has already caused us significant problems at San Siro. It won’t be an easy game.”
