“De Zerbi has already brought his idea of football to this team. They love to pass the ball around and we must be wary, because they have quality players,” Darmian told Inter TV.

“We will try to make life difficult for them and bring home the three points. We need to limit their qualities, especially in attack, while our strength going forward is beyond doubt and I am sure we’ll score at least a goal.”

The Nerazzurri are certainly pumping goals in during their Serie A season, but coach Simone Inzaghi warned they need to find balance.

“We do that by working as a team, trying to defend all together. I think that is the secret,” concluded Darmian.
