19 days from the grand finale of Munich, the Italian observers and French epit the states of the Inter and Paris Saint-Germain. On the Paris side, the situation is quite simple. As mentioned earlier, the Red and Blue logically run in Ligue 1. in Montpellier, only Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola were one of the holders against Arsenal and this turnover will be renewed next weekend on the occasion of the last day of the championship against Auxerre. The only question that really exists is whether Luis Enrique will align in the French Cup final the eleven which will start a week later against Inter.
Among the Nerazzurri, Simone Inzaghi's plan is similar. The Italian must also manage his workforce except that he does not have the luxury of being able to play the matches of Serie A without pressure. Second in the ranking, Inter is still in the race to win the Scudetto and no question of sacrificing it to the detriment of the Champions League. However, Inzaghi did not hesitate to largely reshape his starting eleven against the Torino. In the Piedmont, the only bastoni and Bisseck started the spectacular shock against Barça. Result: 2-0 victory of the Lombards and the Inter returned to a small point from the Napoli. A huge relief for Inzaghi who told the match that he apprehended this match greatly.
A bis team that responds present
“Guys need to rest because they have made a very important tour of force. Frattesi, Mhitaryan, Lautaro and Pavard, I don't think I can recover them even for the next match (against Lazio). There are 20 days left and we have to play two very good matches trying to train with serenity and joy, as we always do, because anxiety and expectations do not lead anywhere. (…) Martinez is a guardian that we wanted at all costs, with the club, and of which I am satisfied. Zalewski is a midfielder with so much qualities that he can also play as a fifth striker. I thought Zalewski and Correa, under the direction of Taremi, could play a very good match and they did it. I am happy for Nicola (Zalewski) and for all the others. Tonight (yesterday), I was afraid of a team that had not lost nine games at home, but after watching my players train, I was calmer. I must thank these guys and this club for what they have given me ”he said, before explaining how he intends to continue this series of good results with a less expanded workforce than that of PSG.
“Our task is only to play serious and organized matches as today. We played against a team that gave everything on the field, we knew that we needed an inter -hard and determined team and that is what happened. We had a great evening against an opponent who was worth it. This is the only way to achieve certain objectives. Sometimes people say that the Inter is short (in terms of workforce): we know that we do not have the budget of PSG, Barcelona or Bayern Munich. But we know that we can be the best with organization, even if we are not the strongest. (…) Reaching the Champions League final is something enormous, but it is not over yet. It will take heart and soul in front of adversaries even better armed than us. We have already shown that we could play and we will do the same against PSG. »» The Parisians are warned: the Inter may not be forced to “rid” all its holders in Serie A before the grand finale of Munich.
