Simone Inzaghi believes Inter can be even ‘more determined’ when they ‘approach the opposition box, but warns that Sassuolo are ‘organised and with an excellent coach.’
Inter return to action on Wednesday in a home game against Sassuolo. Inzaghi’s men have had a perfect start to the Serie A campaign with five wins in five games.
“Our squad has undergone a lot of changes, but the players who were already here have been important. They’ve helped the newcomers understand how to adapt to the Inter world. I see real willingness: everyone has been working excellently and in a really determined fashion since July 13,” Inzaghi told Inter.it.
“It’ll be our fourth match in ten days, with many players having also been away on international duty and done plenty of travelling. However, I’m lucky enough to coach a competitive squad. We still need to train this afternoon, and then I’ll make my choices.”
Although Inzaghi will likely rotate his squad against Sassuolo, he still expects a big performance against a team that beat Juventus only three days ago.
“They come into this game having beaten Juventus thanks to a really good display, and they have an excellent coach who has his team really well organised,” noted Inzaghi.
“We need to be determined as we look to produce a big performance. We create a lot; this is a fact. It’s been happening for a long time, including last season. We’re doing a lot of work not just with the strikers but with all the players; the aim is to be more and more determined when we approach the opposition box.”
Inter have the best defence in Serie A with just one goal conceded so far.
“Numbers are important, but the whole team is working very well,” argued Inzaghi.
“When we talk about our attack and defence, our focus needs to be on the entire team. Not just the defenders but the midfielders and forwards are also working in the best way possible, and we need to continue to grow in both defence and attack while displaying a high level of motivation during every training session.”
