“” What struck me live is his speed of thought. ” Simone Inzaghi is still, Inter's coach, amazed by what he saw from Lamine Yamal In the first leg of semifinals of the Champions in Montjuïc (3-3). “How do you limit him? You have to try to give him the least possible number of balls, but not always. “It is a talent that is born every 50 years,” he had said in Barcelona. And that is still afraid.
Inzaghi asked the question. And Inzaghi himself gave the answer. “But it is complicated; What struck me live is his speed of thought; Even before receiving the ball, he already knows what to do, ”Reiterated Inter coach, who did not want, however, if he will maintain the defensive commitment for Dimarco, who was surpassed by Lamine Yamal, or chooses Carlos Augusto, who appeared in the second half of Montjuïc.” We will see how the alignment … those two also played together often, “
He did not want to point out more information about the possible eleven to measure Barça in San Siro in the return. Nor about Lautaro, who wants to play even though he suffered a muscular mishap in the first leg. Nor about Pavard, who with an ankle problem lost 3-3. “We will decide with the medical body and with the players, who will have to give me their feelings. Pavard had good in yesterday's training, Lautaro does not train with the group from the first leg. We will see,” added Inzaghi.
There is no doubt about the inter coach about what he will have to overcome tomorrow. “We know the quality it has in possession and pressure. In defense they risk something, ”he said about the daring system that Barcelona uses.“ But it is a well -calculated risk taken by a coach, Flick, whom I appreciate greatly, ”said Inzaghi, who looks out to the possibility of playing the second Champions League final in three years.
He lost in Istanbul against Guardiola City. A defeat that still tortures Inter. “The thought of that final is still inside. It was difficult to assimilate that defeat, but we must live the present and tomorrow's game. It is part of our journey and we want to continue it,” said the Italian coach. “We have two games to lift the Champions. We become first in the UEFA ranking, starting from 16 or 17 position: that says everything.”
