Inter Milan Manager Hails Arsenal Ahead Of UEFA Champions League Mammoth Clash: “Among The Strongest In Europe” | OneFootball

Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi addressed the media ahead of tonight’s mammoth UEFA Champions League contest against Arsenal.

During his pre-game interview with Prime, as reported by FCInterNews, Inzaghi explained his decision to overhaul his starting line-up.

Fresh off clinching a narrow 1-0 against Venezia, Inter resume their near-flawless European campaign against formidable opposition.

Like the Nerazzurri, Mikel Arteta’s men are among only five teams yet to concede after the opening three rounds.

Moreover, both sides boast two wins and a draw going into matchday four.

Therefore, this fixture has all the makings of a heavyweight showdown.

However, Simone Inzaghi will not field his best XI.

With a Serie A top-table six-pointer against Napoli waiting in the wings, the Inter coach bids to maintain fresh legs.

As a result, Inter’s starting line-up will undergo as many as five changes compared to the team that overcame Venezia on Sunday.

“This is an important match, I’m calm,” Inzaghi admitted. “It will be difficult, we will try to play it in the best possible way.

“We had six demanding matches, we go game by game.

“Before Venezia, we had spent the right amount, and Sunday’s game required a demanding performance.

“Everyone was available, but I have to make choices.

“We’ve also had problems recently that slowed down the rotations. We must remain clear-headed, it will be a game of choices.

“Arsenal is one of the strongest in Europe, alternating between phases of possession and non-possession.”

Inzaghi also discussed past links with a job in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United were among several English clubs interested in the Inter boss.

However, the ex-Lazio coach insists he’s happy at Giuseppe Meazza.

“Certainly, yes. There were opportunities in the past, but I’m very happy here.

“I have a great club behind me, fans who are always with us, and we’ve won a lot. We don’t want to stop.”
