Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is hoping that the ongoing preseason tour of Japan is a positive one for the Nerazzurri.

Speaking in a press conference, via FCInterNews, the coach gave his thoughts on Inter’s current engagements in Japan.

Inter are now just a few weeks away from their Serie A season kicking off.

Before then, however, the team are still in the midst of their preseason.

The squad have already assembled in training for a couple weeks now. And on Sunday, the Nerazzurri made the trip to Japan.

Inter will give their Japanese supporters a rare chance to see them play in the stadium.

They’ll take on the likes of Al-Nassr and Paris Saint-Germain in friendly matches.

Tomorrow will be the first of those friendlies – the Nerazzurri will come up against the Saudi Pro League. Among Al-Nassr’s ranks is former Inter midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, who made the switch this summer.

And in addition to the friendlies, Inter are also getting the opportunity to train in new surroundings.

The squad are working to get back to full fitness and preparedness for the upcoming season.

Moreover, the Nerazzurri are giving Japanese fans a rare opportunity to watch the team play on home soil.
