The Inter coach Simone Inzaghi spoke to Sky sports after winning the award as best coach last season: “A nice award that is right to share with those who allowed me to win it, namely players, fans and club”.
The players chose her…
“I am enormously pleased that the players voted for this award. Winning the championship obviously helps, as it did in the past with Spalletti and Pioli.”
Can Inter win again?
“Yes because he has all the qualities to be able to do it. Winning is difficult, winning again is even more difficult but we are an expert and mature team, we know that the others have strengthened a lot and are there not by chance. We will sell our lives dearly knowing that there are many matches and many competitions, it’s not easy to win again but I’m used to the fact that Inter are seen as favourites. The first year there was talk of Inter being demobilised, then after 3 months we were already in first place For everyone is part of football, beyond hiding we are there and we want to compete.”
What does Inter have more than the others?
“The victory of the Scudetto last year can help even if it hasn’t helped in recent years. I have an experienced and valuable team, we will have to stay on track also because it will be a very long season. It will be something new for everyone, with the Club World Cup We will adapt as we always have.”
Ausilio says that the rose is fine like this…?
“I agree with what Ausilio, Marotta, Zanetti and Baccin say. They say that everything is fine as it is, but they are always around, it is difficult to find them in Milan. They know what to intervene on, my team is so competitive… I do the maximum with those we have, we know the difficulties but thanks to these managers I have always had very competitive teams.”
Who are the most fearsome opponents in Italy and Europe?
“It’s impossible to answer… In Europe you see the difficulties there are, there are some big names in difficulty but they will recover. In Italy we saw a balanced championship, I knew it would be like this. The teams at the top are not there by chance , it will be a very exciting championship.”
His turnover?
“Reasons are made, we try to do the best for the good of Inter. From the outside it’s easy to draw conclusions, from the inside there are in-depth discussions with only Inter in mind. We play a lot and we have to take that into account.”
