Inter will challenge Liverpool in the 1/8 stage of the Champions League. A very difficult duel for Simone Inzaghi’s Nerazzurri who will have to give 120% to enable the passage to the next stage.

The Inter coach also spoke about this match in the press conference, who said that the confrontation with “the reds” is of a high degree.

“I think English clubs are very strong, they all came out first in groups except Chelsea. Liverpool is one of the best teams in Europe, but our boys deserve these kinds of games.

We have not played in the round of 16 for many years and although it will be difficult, we will try to do it. On paper Liverpool is the favorite, but matches have to be played. I will ask the boys to come out on the field and play freely, to share our ideas. “Determination will make the difference.”

“A point in the last two games? I am not happy with the results, I did not expect them. Anyway I think we have played two great matches against two big teams, which together with Juventus will be rivals for the title.

We played well on Saturday against a team like Napoli, which is very strong. The first part was normal. The penalty at first penalized us, but we stayed in the game and behaved differently in the second half. That part gives me confidence before the game against Liverpool.”

“Attack? All strikers have the same chances to play. We have two training sessions left and I will make the final decision today or tomorrow. “I try to rotate and it is not easy to recover when you have a match every three days.”

“11 weeks without reaching the 16th? I talked to the team about it. The first step is to reach this round. We will face a good team, with strong players, but all matches start 0-0. We will face it with our weapons and motivation. In some matches care must be taken in every detail. We have seen Liverpool matches, against Milan and the last in the league.

They have a team that plays in depth, with a great coach, they play with intensity, so we have to be at the right height both when we have the ball, as well as when we defend. Liverpool could be deadly on the counterattack. “Their defenders have almost the same qualities as the organizers, so they can cause us problems everywhere on the field”, stressed the black technician.
