After Stefano Pioli, also Simone Inzaghi previewed the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals versus Milan: “It will be a battle where each team will try to prevail on the other. At the same time, having the right mentality and motivation will be decisive to win this match.”
The Inter coach did not hold a presser but talked exclusively to SportMediaset: “It will be a nice spotlight for the city. However, our focus will be on the pitch and our performance. This occasion must raise our sense of responsibility. We are trying to prepare the game in the best possible way.”
Inzaghi highlighted the keys of the bout versus Milan: “Since we are technically on the road, scoring would be very important for us. We are taking it game after game. We are attempting to recover physical and mental energies without looking too far ahead. That is the only way we could reach our goals.” Unlike international competitions, Serie A has not adopted the rule change on away goals for the current Coppa Italia edition. It will come into effect next season.
Even though Inzaghi did not go too much into detail on them in his pre-game remarks, Robin Gosens and Joaquin Correa have good chances to be called up against Milan, the outlet informs. The German international has been practicing regularly for about a week. He could make his Nerazzurri debut Tuesday. The attacker is a little iffier for the upcoming clash but is nearing full health too.
