Inzaghi: ‘Absolutely deserved and important win today. But we must remain calm, the road is long’

The Nerazzurri coach after the success against Juventus: “Szczesny kept the game open with two great saves on Barella and Arnautovic.”

Simone Inzaghi enjoyed the victory in the big match against Juventus, which brings Inter even closer to the Scudetto. “Inter has secured an important and well-deserved victory today, we are very pleased,” commented the Nerazzurri coach. “Juve and Milan won’t give up an inch, so we must remain focued. It was a beautiful evening in front of our splendid fans. I must Congratulatate Szczesny, he was great and kept the match open with two great saves on Barella and Arnautovic.”

“We know that there are still intense 4 months ahead, and we have to continue in this way,” explained Inzaghi on Dazn. “We have won 18 out of 22 league games, but we are only +4 from Juve, and Milan is always there. Other teams are maintaining a very high pace; last year, Napoli was much further ahead.”

On the choice to bring in Klaassen towards the end, Inzaghi stated, “He is a player who deserves more playing time. He has scored more than 100 goals in his career; he is an extraordinary guy. Then, in the warm-up, Frattesi felt a little problem, so I had Klaassen and Sensi, plus Asllani.”

On what can be added to this team, Inzaghi said, “We need to continue work. I stil need to review the game, but against a Juve that defended very deep, we were excellent. Perhaps, on the counterattack with McKennie, we should have reacted better. But whether we win or lose, we always analyze the games well to understand where we can improve.”
