In the early morning of August 18th, Inter Milan will face Genoa in the Serie A. Before the match, Inter Milan head coach Simone Inzaghi talked about the team’s prospects for the new season.
Inzaghi said: “The new season is about to begin, and we will face a difficult first match in a stadium that has been difficult to deal with in recent years. Our opponent is in good shape, their coach is excellent, and the match will be played in a very lively atmosphere. We are working hard to prepare for this first match. Last season’s success brought great satisfaction, but now we must put it behind us. We are aware of our duty to defend the title. We are ready and we know that in the past few seasons, the champion team often encounters many difficulties in the following year, so we have also prepared well for this. Although there are new players, the preparation process has not been easy, but overall it has been smooth. The players are in good shape and they are smiling during training, which doesn’t mean that the training intensity has decreased, but rather that it has become more efficient. I see them full of motivation and responsibility. We want to start the new season the same way we ended the last one.”
Inzaghi added: “As everyone knows, whether we win the championship or not, we have always been favorites to win. I don’t like to categorize teams, but as a coach, everyone wants to win more games and championships for their team. We have a responsibility to defend this title. This year there are some new signings and the return of old players. Although many teams are investing heavily, we have retained the core of last year’s team and brought in excellent players. Although Buchanan is injured, we are actively discussing reinforcement and bringing in more excellent players to increase our rotation.”
Inzaghi said: “For me personally, this opening match fills me with great excitement, just like the previous few seasons. I am very proud to be able to start my fourth season at Inter Milan. We know the achievements of the previous few seasons, which are also due to a very capable management team. With limited resources, they have maintained Inter Milan’s competitiveness in Italy and Europe. This year’s league is more competitive, with many teams vying for the championship. Not only have the top teams been strengthened, but the mid-table teams are also very organized, with excellent players and coaches. ”
The Italian also said: “Regarding the lineup, I am still evaluating some situations. Since Lautaro’s return, he has been training very well and is currently in good shape. It is my responsibility to decide whether he starts or comes on as a substitute, but he is still full of motivation and can’t wait to start the new season. Many players, out of a strong sense of responsibility, returned to the team ahead of schedule when I gave them extra days off, which is a good sign for the team. ”
