Inzaghi:"We worked together and as a team: when it happens we are a hard nut for everyone"

The Nerazzurri coach’s words at a press conference after Manchester City-Inter Milan this evening

Triple whistle at Etihad Stadium between Manchester City-Inter Milan.

Simone Inzaghi in press conference: here his words, collected by the Italian website Fcinter1908.it: 

"I complimented the guys, the guys were massive. I asked for such a this kind of game. 

We know what City has done over the years here in Champions, so we had to make a great match and we did it with important opportunities. 

In one case the goalkeeper was very good, in others we could have been better, but we worked together and as a team: when it happens we are a hard nut for everyone".

What does Zielinski give different than Mkhitaryan?

"Both have many qualities. Zielinski we wanted it because it can give us so much. 

He had an injury during the training this summer that slowed him down, in Monza he got well and convinced me to give him this chance. 

We saw that there will be need of all with all these close matches, I must always be good to make choices".

No one has ever won the 7-in-a-row derby. How important is to have a good condition?

"Clearly it’s great. You prepare better after good performances. 

I would have liked the win even more, but now we will return tomorrow and those who played today will go home. 

We can’t go back to Milan tonight, the airport is closed. 

Those who have not played from the start are still training, including those who have entered. 

We have four players at home ready to give us a hand on Sunday".

What is different about Taremi compared to Thuram and Lautaro?

"Important. He had a good race, as Thuram was doing it. At that moment it was better to let Thuram out.
Taremi worked well. It’s not easy to play here at Manchester. The strickers did a great job".

What did you think about the opportunity of Darmian that he didn’t kick?

"I asked him. He said he heard Barella call for the ball and didn’t kick. I was more desperate about Mkhitaryan’s, I thought there was goal".

Dimarco is available?

"It should. We won’t take risks, there is enough confidence. If he makes a good finish on Saturday he will enjoy the team.
We have good doctors and physiotherapists who monitor every day. 

Today he has training recovery and he seemed better. If there will be no problems, it will be of the game".
