Benitez: “Inter, less pressure after Arsenal. And the draw against Lille has restored Juve’s confidence”

Long interview with mister Rafa Benitez on today’s columns of La Gazzetta dello Sport. The expert Spanish coach spoke about the last round of the Champions League, focusing in particular on Inter and Juventus. These are his opinions, starting from the Nerazzurri’s success against Arsenal: “The victory against Arsenal confirmed the absolute solidity of Inzaghi’s men, the strength of his team, which does not suffer from turnover but rather knows how to manage it with maturity Maybe she had to suffer but she didn’t hold back, she understood that the development of the match required nothing else and acted accordingly.

Arsenal are a team that knows football and plays it well through the dribble. Having beaten them means one thing above all: having managed to get our hands on qualification, because the ranking is encouraging and the calendar too. Few conclusions were granted, this is the representation of a mental and tactical condition that makes the difference: Wednesday’s victory eases the pressure and makes one live more lightly. Nothing is certain but I think Inzaghi feels much better than on Wednesday morning. Rightly”.

Then, a comment on the Bianconeri’s draw with Lille: “We needed a reaction that would help us forget the defeat against Stuttgart and the draw against Lille has this power: restoring confidence in a team that is experiencing a moment of absolute change. The transitions they need a physiological period that allows them to learn”.
