Inter coach Italian Simone Inzaghi revealed he has prepared “something” to stop Erling Haaland, though he pointed out that Manchester City are not just the Norwegian.

“Manchester City are currently the strongest team in the world, but we are proud to have come this far and with incredible concentration we will know that we must limit our mistakes to face such a strong opponent. Tomorrow we will have a great opportunity to make history. It will be very difficult, but we will try,” Inzaghi said.
Inter have not had a good season in Serie A, but according to their coach, they have learned from their mistakes: “Tough times are when we have grown. Even with deserved defeats, the boys knew how to be united. We made an incredible effort that brought us here, to Istanbul”.
Italian Cup and Italian Super Cup champion Inzaghi is beginning to appreciate what has been achieved so far, at the gates of a final he could not have imagined at the start of the season.
“Until now we have had little time to think about what we had done. We had the last part of the competition, when the Coppa Italia… and now we see what we did. But we are very focused and tomorrow we will try to fight against a very strong team”.
His most repeated words during the season were not missing: “we will have to play a game with head and heart”.
“The legs will be important, the head, which we need to be clear at every moment of the match, and the heart, which is what makes you find energy in certain moments that you thought you didn’t have” , he insisted.
The coach’s doubt, apart from the ever-present between Lukaku or Dzeko, is that of Brozovic or Mhkitaryan, recently recovered from injury: “I have a good feeling with Mkhitaryan, but I will have to decide whether to take him from the start to use.” noticed.
In addition, he thanked his president, Steve Zhang of China, for the words of affection he extended to him in an interview this morning: “They make me happy, as do their words and calls for comfort in difficult times, which have given me a lot of strength. .” .
