Arrigo Sacchi pushes Simone Inzaghi’s Inter towards Triplete
Arrigo Sacchi commented in the Gazzetta dello Sport on Inter’s victory: “An Italian-style feat. In the sense that it was achieved with effort, with suffering, with strenuous defense and with quick and deadly counterattacks. Of course, in this victory of Inter in Munich there is something of our past, I can not deny it, but I can not refrain from congratulating the Nerazzurri who gave their souls to achieve a result that, in my opinion, is well deserved. I admired a generous team, Simone Inzaghi’s team, a team that was clear about what it wanted to do and did it. I prefer it when you play a little bit forward, when you try to attack the opponent, however, you also have to take into account the strength of your rivals and, consequently, adapt to who you have in front of you.
“Inter have shown that they have a very solid system, then you can raise or lower the center of gravity of the team, but the important thing is to have a basic strength that makes the whole architecture stand up. After Bayern’s equalizer we could have expected a defense of the equalizer, but instead I saw the Nerazzurri throw themselves forward and build the action of the second goal. This means that the Inter players do not lack courage and neither do they lack ideas. The triumph in the Champions League, especially after this success that boosts the self-esteem of the whole environment, is now possible: maybe we have to try to come up with something more in terms of play, but I am convinced that, on this aspect, Simone Inzaghi will work in the coming days. Looking ahead to the return match at the San Siro, the accumulated advantage is considerable: the Nerazzurri will be fine with two results out of three, not bad.
“One cannot ask the impossible of her: if it comes, one must only bow and applaud. However, I still think that Inter has something more and is favored to win the Scudetto. In addition, there is the Coppa Italia. After the 1-1 draw in the first leg, there is the return derby to be played and the Nerazzurri have a chance to overtake Conceiçao’s Milan, which is already thinking (at least at the managerial level) about next season. Inzaghi’s boys are aiming for the Triplete and they can do it: it would be a sensational feat. Of course, now we need to gather all the energies and have the wisdom to channel them match by match, dosing the commitment of the various performers. It is the group, at this moment, that can make the difference. And Inter has the group. A strong group, technically and physically, and very experienced. These are values that on the field are noticeable and weigh a lot”.

Joshua Zirkzee’s first season in a Manchester United shirt is ending in the worst way. The Dutch striker, who arrived from Bologna last summer for more than 40 million euros, suffered a serious hamstring injury in his left knee during the last Premier League match against Newcastle. Confirming the news was coach Ruben Amorim himself in his pre-Europa League press conference, “Zirkzee will not be available for the rest of the season. He has to think about recovery and preparing for next year.”
A real mockery for the talented youngster, who was experiencing a positive moment in terms of personal growth, despite an overall complicated season for the Red Devils. Zirkzee thus ends his first year at Old Trafford with 7 goals and 3 assists in 48 total appearances, a haul perhaps lower than expected, but still indicative of a player who was finding space and confidence.
Manchester United’s season, punctuated by injuries and fluctuating performances, might only find a small light in the eventual Europa League victory. But the loss of Zirkzee at this crucial moment represents yet another tile on an already very complicated year for Amorim.
Ahead of the summer, the former Bologna man’s future remains to be written. The English club is already planning to intervene in the market again to reinforce the offensive department. And while it seems difficult to think of an immediate transfer of Zirkzee after only one year, it is not excluded that one between him and Højlund could leave Old Trafford. The return to the field, in any case, will not come until next season.
