Stefano Pioli warned Inter “have not reached our peak yet” as they prepare to face Lazio in the Coppa Italia and then Juventus.
The 3-0 mauling of Pescara was their seventh consecutive Serie A victory, ninth in all competition, so with Lazio losing at home to Chievo it propelled them up to fourth place.
“We played against a good Pescara who caused us problems,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.
Stefano Pioli warned Inter “have not reached our peak yet” as they prepare to face Lazio in the Coppa Italia and then Juventus.
The 3-0 mauling of Pescara was their seventh consecutive Serie A victory, ninth in all competition, so with Lazio losing at home to Chievo it propelled them up to fourth place.
“We played against a good Pescara who caused us problems,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.
“We created a great deal and at the end of the day the win was deserved. We could’ve been more precise with our passing, but naturally one cannot play the full 90 minutes at such an intense tempo.”
The next week will be crucial for Inter’s campaign, as they face Lazio in the Coppa Italia quarter-final and then Juventus in Serie A.
“On Tuesday there’s an in-or-out match in a competition we really care about, so we must remain concentrated. We want to play in the Inter style in Turin and take the initiative.
“We’re doing good things, but I am sure we can do even better. I have players of a high level, but we’ve not yet reached our peak and that should give us real confidence going forward.
“We’ve done nothing yet, we are not in the position we want to be or playing the football we want.”
How did Pioli manage to transform an Inter side that was in chaos under Frank de Boer?
“You have to convince the players to set aside individual needs for the good of the team. We all work together on certain concepts and help each other out, every single day, not just during a match.
“There are strong foundations to build on and I’ve been impressed by the readiness of this side to work hard. We are Inter, a team that wants to win and give our best every time.”
