Luciano Spalletti is extremely motivated to play against Lazio, given his record and rivalry with the club but more importantly because he seeks redemption for his poor start to 2019.
Losing this tie could be extremely costly for the Italian tactician, despite his good relationship with the club, the owners have made it clear that his performances in the cup, assuming he also finishes top 4, will be what decides his future in black and blue.
Roma based Corriere dello Sport highlights that Inter want to go far in both cups, namely the Coppa Italia and the Europa League, and although it is not necessary to win one of the two, they expect to go far in both.
As on Monday and Tuesday, Spalletti chose to keep his words to himself. Most likely because he fears that anything he says now could raise tensions, which would be counterproductive considering the situation in the dressing room at the moment, following a chaotic transfer window, full of rumors.
Instead, the coach will focus on preparing for the Coppa, aiming to secure their place in the semi finals and also get the ball rolling again in the league against Bologna this Sunday. Two wins this week would greatly help bring back serenity.
