Inter-Como, Simone Inzaghi: “I hope to stay at Inter for a long time, I feel appreciated here”

Simone Inzaghi's Inter is going its own way, both in Europe and in the league: Simone InzaghHowever, against Como on Monday evening he could suffer some defection. Stefan de Vrij in fact left today's training early due to a physical problem and may not take part in the match. For this reason the Nerazzurri coach tried Alessandro Bastoni as a central defender, with the Italian national team who would be deployed alongside Bisseck and Carlos Augusto. “We have defections in defense. Pavard and Acerbi are missing. Both De Vrij and Darmian have some problems, we will evaluate tomorrow morning together with the medical staff whether they can be recovered. Not at the moment, we have some hope, maybe we will ask them for a sacrifice but at the moment we only have 4 defenders. If they don't recover, we will evaluate who will make the January transfer market to get a defender? Let's hope they recover Pavard and Acerbi soon.”

“We know about the difficulties of tomorrow's match, Como is an excellent team. They have always shown organisation, they have a mix of high-quality and experienced youngsters. Fabregas is demonstrating his qualities. It will be a very complicated match”

“To stay at Inter for a long time? That's the desire, I feel appreciated by the whole group. We are in a moment of great sharing, it's the fourth year, the goal is to always improve. When I feel good in a place, like all 'Inter, I feel very gratified. The goal is to stay for many years, then we know that in football opinions change quickly. I saw a great team even in difficulties, in this journey that starts in 2021. We have shown that we are in difficulty a real team men, we never gave in. There's a nice atmosphere in Appiano.”

“Lautaro said I'm underrated? Everyone has their own opinion. I'm happy where I am, I feel very appreciated by the club, players and fans. And this makes me perform at my best. I feel appreciated in my environment. The 2024 assessment it's still partial, there are 2 very important games left. 2024 is a year that will unite us forever, it's the year of the second star.”

“Will the market change with more young people and less experienced players? We will talk about it in the future, now we have talked very little about the market. The managers are always at work. I have no preclusions, neither on young players nor on older players. We know that we are moving in the direction of buying more young players, if they are of quality and help Inter win matches I will be the first to accept them.”
