Inter boss Simone Inzaghi has said that his team do not look at what AC Milan are doing as they are focusing on themselves, according to a report in the Italian broadcast media.

Speaking during an interview with Inter TV, via FCInternews, Simone Inzaghi made it clear that Inter are only looking inwards for the last three games of the campaign.

“No, my job and that of my staff is to affect what we have in hand, my team, without seeing what others do or whether they will play earlier or later. We have to play our own game and give 120%.”

Inter face Empoli on Friday evening at San Siro and the coach feels it will be a tricky game because the Azzurri have already achieved what they want to achieve this season which is survival.

“It will be one of those very tricky games because Empoli are a quality team who have already achieved their goal. We’ll have to play a very careful game because we’re up against an organised team who will come here to play their own game”.

Inter’s last match was a 2-1 away win against Udinese in which they had to dig deep at the end to protect their lead. Simone Inzaghi was clearly proud of that.

“We won a game that was not easy, in fact I’m very happy with the performance in Udine because the team showed great personality and great determination. We wanted this victory and we got it with our concentration”.

Simone Inzaghi feels like technical ability becomes less important at this stage of the season, it is all down to who is the most motivated and works the hardest.

“In these last four games the technical and tactical aspects will be a little less important, I think it will be the motivation that will make the difference. I’m lucky to have a team that has always found motivation, so tomorrow we’ll have to give 120% in front of our fans against a quality team that plays good football.”

The Empoli match will be Inter’s third in a row at San Siro which is sold out. That is something that excites the coach.

“We’ve had a wonderful crowd all season, tomorrow’s crowd will be sold out and I’m sure the fans will give us that extra something to play a heartfelt game, as they have done all year both at the San Siro and on Sunday in Udine when we felt at home despite being away”.
