In his post-match interview with Prime Video, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi praised his team’s will to win and credited their “great heart” for securing a hard-fought victory over Young Boys in the Champions League. The Italian coach acknowledged that the match was a complex and challenging one, with his team struggling to create distance at times, but praised their ability to believe in themselves and create numerous opportunities.
Inzaghi also touched on his team’s depth, stating that he has a strong squad and is able to make tactical decisions to outmaneuver opponents. He highlighted the contributions of players such as Hakan Calhanoglu, who put in a solid performance, and Nicolò Barella, who sacrificed himself for the team.
However, the spotlight turned to the penalty shootout, where Inzaghi chose to entrust the responsibility to Marko Arnautovic. The Austrian international took the penalty, which was a crucial moment for the team. Inzaghi revealed that Arnautovic was initially disappointed by the decision, but Inzaghi emphasized to him that he is a penalty taker, similar to Mehdi Taremi, who scored in the team’s previous match against Red Star.
Inzaghi’s comments came as a reassuring message for the team, as they look to build on this victory and overcome the challenges that lie ahead. The Nerazzurri will now shift their focus to the seven-game cycle, where they will need to navigate multiple fixtures and potential setbacks. Despite the uncertain circumstances, Inzaghi’s team will take confidence from their hard-won victory, knowing that they have the depth, motivation, and resolve to overcome any obstacle.
