Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi is full of respect for the Serie A leaders, Napoli, ahead of their highly anticipated top-of-the-table clash on Sunday. With Napoli sitting just one point ahead of Inter Milan, the two sides are poised to battle it out for supremacy at the San Siro. Inzaghi praised Napoli's strength, crediting their new coach, Antonio Conte, for instilling a solid tactical structure and bringing out the best in the team.
Speaking in a pre-match press conference, Inzaghi acknowledged Napoli's significant improvement under Conte's management. “We are facing the leaders, and Conte has already managed to give the team an excellent organisation, which is strong and of high quality," he remarked. Inzaghi's praise of Napoli's defensive record stood out as well, pointing to the fact that Napoli had only conceded away goals in their first game of the season, showcasing their formidable defense and consistency.
Inter Milan is coming off a thrilling 1-0 victory over Arsenal in the Champions League, with Hakan Calhanoglu’s controversial penalty being the difference. However, Inzaghi knows that Sunday’s Serie A fixture will present a different challenge. Despite the recent victory, he expressed caution, understanding the strength Napoli brings to the table and the quality of their play under Conte’s stewardship.
Inzaghi downplayed the importance of the league table at this stage of the season, emphasizing that it was only the 12th game. “It’s too early to talk about the table,” he said, focusing instead on the importance of the match as it represents the final fixture before the international break. Inter Milan, despite being second, is keen on securing three points to keep up the pressure on their rivals and enter the break on a high note.
The clash between the two sides is expected to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams eager to assert their dominance in the league.
