Inter, Inzaghi: “Deserved final, perfect match”

“It was a beautiful evening, we played an intense match and deserved the final.” Simone Inzaghi can’t wait after hitting the ninth cup final in his career as a coach, the fourth in the Italian Cup: “We wanted to go back to Rome. We have 10 games left, let’s hope there’s one more… The boys were very good, they have never lost a meter against a very high quality Juve. We went high to catch them and we ducked well when we had to cover,” he underlines.

“The team is giving me a lot even if we suffered from absences”

In particular, Acerbi’s great performance stood out. Inzaghi pampers him: “I wanted him badly, not without effort. He’s a player I know and I know what kind of contribution he can make on and off the pitch. He’s certainly an added value for us. In these evenings it’s an understatement talk about singles. The team is giving me a lot even if we suffered. We were left for 4 months without Lukaku and Brozovic. Now Skriniar is missing and this cannot be ignored in the evaluation of a high-level squad like ours”.

Marotta: “Full confidence in Inzaghi”

Before the match, CEO Giuseppe Marotta had reaffirmed his trust in Inzaghi: “With Inzaghi, trust is total and full. It’s a season in which we’re in the running on two goals. The Scudetto deservedly belongs to Napoli but we have a small league that it means fourth place, an important milestone for the club’s economy and for its prestige. There are alternating results in the championship, it’s true, it’s a negative aspect but let’s evaluate the season in its fullness. In the championship, we have the opportunity and time to recover . Given our roadmap, the season is positive. The protest from the fans over tickets for the Champions League derby? This is new to me, I’m not sure how my collaborators are handling it. We have great respect for the fans, we meet their requests needs as long as these are part of respectable behavior”, he concludes.
