Inzaghi: We are ready to fight for all titles, and the criticism is unfair

The eyes of Italian football fans are directed towards the anticipated clash between Napoli and Inter Milan, scheduled to take place tomorrow, Saturday, at 7 PM Cairo time, as part of the 27th round of the Italian league.

Coach Simone Inzaghi, the head coach of Inter Milan, spoke at the press conference before the match, emphasizing the importance of the game but stressed that it will not be decisive in the title race.

Inzaghi said: "Our season and Napoli's season have been very positive so far, this is a very important match, but it is not decisive given that there are 36 points remaining in the league, we are fully aware of the importance of the clash and we will face a strong opponent, we must deliver our best possible performance, especially since we have not shown the same strength in major matches compared to previous years, in such matches, we must be perfect to win."

Inzaghi also pointed out the congested match schedule and its impact on the team's preparations: "The match draw has put us up against challenges immediately after the Champions League, we hoped to prepare for this match with a full week of training, but the Coppa Italia affected our schedule and it could have been played 25 days ago."

He added: "The players have worked hard during the week, on Tuesday we played the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia against a tough opponent, regarding injuries, we will not have Jan Sommer, Carlos Augusto, Matteo Darmian, and Zalewski, unfortunately, three of these players play in the same position, so we may make a tactical change as we did against Lazio."

He responded to the criticism aimed at his team recently, saying: "I am proud of my team, they give their all and strive to compete until the end, we are among the few European teams still in contention for all titles, but every time there is more talk about Inter than others, I felt it was necessary to defend my players and our club against what is said."

He confirmed that the team aims to reach the furthest stage in all competitions while focusing on each match individually: "We want to play as many matches as possible, but we must focus on one match at a time to achieve titles, we will give our utmost, and we are fully aware of the path we have started."

Inzaghi concluded his remarks by discussing the competition in the Italian league, confirming that Juventus is still a contender for the title: "I still believe that Juventus is capable of competing, I said that at the end of January, the competition is still open, Atalanta is with us in the top positions but we should not underestimate Juventus and Lazio as they are capable of coming back."
