Inzaghi Expects Flawless Inter Performance in Napoli Showdown

Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi has emphasized the need for his team to deliver a perfect performance as they prepare to face Napoli in a critical Serie A match. Acknowledging Inter’s struggles in big games this season, Inzaghi stressed the importance of precision and focus against Antonio Conte’s formidable side.

“We’re facing the league’s top two teams, both deserving credit for their journeys so far,” Inzaghi stated in a pre-match press conference. “While this game is crucial, it’s not decisive with 12 matches remaining. However, we must be at our absolute best against a team of Napoli’s caliber.”

Inzaghi highlighted Inter’s need to improve in high-stakes matches: “We haven’t performed as well as in previous years in big games – that’s a fact. We need to be perfect, which we haven’t managed so far. These matches demand intensity, aggression, and attention to every detail.”

The Inter coach also addressed the team’s injury concerns, particularly on the left flank. “Sommer, Carlos Augusto, Darmian, and Zalewski are unavailable. With three players out in the same position, we may need to consider a system change, as we did against Lazio.”

Regarding Marcus Thuram’s fitness, Inzaghi remained cautious: “Thuram has trained partially and shown positive signs, but there’s no guarantee he’ll start. We’ll make a decision on match day.”

Inzaghi also touched on the title race, acknowledging Juventus’ recent resurgence: “I mentioned in January and February that with a winning streak, Juventus could re-enter the race. Their latest victory has indeed tightened the standings.”

As Inter Milan faces this crucial test against Napoli, Inzaghi’s call for perfection underscores the match’s significance in the Serie A title race.
