The second leg of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League semi-final will stage another focus match tomorrow, and Inter Milan will travel to La Liga giants Barcelona. Inzaghi said that all players have to play a key role in the game and said that his team is not afraid to play against Barcelona.
It is worth noting that Inter Milan lost to Roma 0-1 in the previous Serie A. After two consecutive defeats, Inter Milan currently drops to second place in the Serie A standings with 71 points, 3 points behind Napoli, which is in first place. Therefore, the "Blue and Black Army" will definitely seek to return to the winning track in the Champions League.
Inter Milan coach Inzaghi said at the press conference, "The players have continued to do extraordinary things in the past four years, and last week's defeat cannot erase all our efforts. It has been an exciting season for us to get to where we are today. Although we could have done better in recent games, we are still on track to compete for honors."
"You will never hear me say a bad word about the players or the club and it is thanks to their support and that of the fans that we have exceeded all the most optimistic expectations over the past few years."
Inzaghi said, "When you are about to participate in the Champions League semi-final, you can't say that this is the most difficult moment. We are passionate about the game. It is true that the past week has not been smooth. We still need to give more and do better. We are looking forward to this game. The opponent is one of the strongest and most offensive teams. We need to sacrifice and stay calm technically. Facing such an opponent, there are many aspects that need to be taken into account."
“Flick is an excellent coach who brings good organization to a very offensive team. This team has been built up slowly over time, and many players come from the academy. They have scored more than 150 goals this season, which is an amazing number. We respect them, but we are not afraid of them. This is a Champions League full of strong opponents and fierce competition. We will play these two semi-finals as real Inter Milan.”
In addition, Inzaghi also said, "We know that this is a two-round contest. We thought Thuram would be able to return against Roma, but it did not happen in the end, but we will observe again. We must pass the ball well, break the opponent's pressure, be neat when controlling the ball, and defend collectively, and we know very well that everyone will play a key role."
"Barcelona's youth training system deserves recognition. Yamal is a unique talent who can always create some incredible moments and is a very important member of the team. We will focus on him tomorrow, but Barcelona is not just him. We will pay full attention to all the opponent's players."
