Simone Inzaghi: “Sometimes they say we are unbeatable, others say we have weakened…”
Simone Inzaghi’s words on the eve of the dervy d’Italia
Simone Inzaghi spoke in a press conference on the eve of the derby d’Italia: “Tomorrow will be a big game, in a full stadium: first against second, we all know what Juve-Inter means and it will be an important match for both teams. They are both scoring points, they have similar forms and we will have to do well in individual duels”.
“Clearly Juventus has a coach like Allegri and è a very good team – he added -. They always want to win, like Inter for that matter: they have great ambitions and this year they have more time to prepare matches, we all know that è a great advantage. We don't hide, we take responsibility; and it's an incentive to improve every day. There are times when they say the team to beat è Inter and others when they say we have weakened, but it always depends on results”.
He then updated on the condition of the squad: “Bastoni and Pavard will not be there, Cuadrado and Sanchez are to be evaluated today. Sanchez è returned yesterday from the national team with a slight ankle sprain: he didn’t train yesterday, while Cuadrado had his first full workout yesterday. È a great player, who so far has had a tendon problem he has never had in his career. It has penalized us, we will evaluate after today’s training”.
On the importance of the challenge: “So much, but I don't consider tomorrow's game a decisive one. It's going to be important, but we all know that tomorrow we get to a third of the championship: there will be so many games after that and we all know what Juve-Inter means. We will try to play our soccer, we know we are facing a compact team, which defends very well, has many champions and can solve the game from one moment to the next. We will have to have a lot of concentration in the 90 minutes, we know how è difficult it is to face Juventus”.
” You never sign for a draw, except in a return match after winning the first leg. We will go thereì aware of the difficulties that will be there and the path we have been on the road. We know that between now and December 23 we will have eight games: the next four in the league will be against the top three from last year, by the way, all three away, with two very challenging Champions League games in between,³quot; concluded Inzaghi.

“It doesn’t seem real to me. It’s amazing to have this trophy in my hands, I”m so excited. Smiling and incredulous stands Jasmine Paolini with the Cup in her hand savoring her triumph at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia. First Italian player able to impose herself in the home tournament thanks to a two-set victory over the American Coco Gauff. “Congratulations to you Coco for this final, keep it up you and your team, good luck for the coming weeks”.
With the protocol over, room for thanks. And there’s for everyone: “A thank you to my team and my family, my friends who always support me, it’s thanks to them that we have this cup in our hands today. Thank you to those who organized this tournament, to Fitp who always support us, the volunteers, the referees, the ball catchers, the public who have been special, the doctors, Dr. Parra who always supports me, they are always with us, it is a behind-the-scenes job that really weighs a lot”.
And then it is just and still emotion. Overwhelming, that you cannot say or describe but only savor. Smiling, as always, without forgetting where you started from and the’last step that is still missing to make this edition of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia truly unforgettable: “I do not know what else to say, it is a dream to be here. I came as a child to watch this tournament and to think one day that I could lift this cup was not even in my dreams. Thank you for supporting President Mattarella, at the end of last year we went to the Quirinal and this time we managed to bring him to the Foro Italico. It has been a dream two weeks, it is not over yet, tomorrow we have the doubles, I am not forgetting, we have to stay focused and I hope you will come a little bit earlier to see the doubles final because we need you”.
Beforehand, however, it was Coco Gauff, beaten but not defeated, who paid tribute to her for her success: “I am happy to have made it to the final in Rome and I am happy for you Jas for your victory – began the former US Open champion – You are a wonderful person. It’s always tough to face you and I hope you can bring home the trophy tomorrow in doubles as well. I will bring home this cup and I know how much work we have done to get it. It will be for next time”.

Charles Leclerc is furious after Imola qualifying: “The first thing to do is to apologize to the fans, it hurts the team as well. Such a level of performance is not acceptable and we have to react”.
“Aston Martin was smart with the tires. We can flip the tires, put the front tires in the back and the back tires in the front, but the car doesn’t go enough. I have been saying this for a while’there is no potential in the car”.
He was echoed by Lewis Hamilton: “I am devastated, we worked so hard for this my first race in Italy with Ferrari. The car was going, I thought we would be there. But we couldn’t pass and we have to analyze why everyone improved and we didn’t. I do not have an answer at the moment”.
“The setup wasn’t perfect, but we couldn’t go any faster than that. We mounted the new tire, but for some reason it didn’t go and had no life left in it. We struggle to use the tires, I in my lap I don”t think I did anything wrong.
