Inter Milan Coach Suggests: ‘Playing On A Good Pitch Helped Us Vs Monza’

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi feels that a good pitch helped his team play their football against Monza yesterday evening.

Speaking to Italian broadcaster DAZN after the match, via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri lauded the quality of the pitch that allowed a high-quality passing game.

In recent matches, Inter have occasionally suffered the effects of a less-than-ideal pitch.

This has particularly been the case given the current state of the pitch at the San Siro.

The stadium that Inter share with city rivals AC Milan sees plenty of use. And this has frequently led to some issues in terms of wear and tear.

That has been the case this January.

And in fact, the clubs intend to resurface the pitch in the next week or so whilst the Nerazzurri are in Saudi Arabia for the Supercoppa Italiana.

But there were no problems with the pitch yesterday evening at the U-Power Stadium.

And Inzaghi feels that Inter were able to take full advantage of the quality of the surface.

Simone Inzaghi: Inter Benefited From Good Pitch Vs Monza

Inzaghi said that “We work a lot, and we tune out all the chatter.”

“Last Saturday we didn’t play very well against Verona,” he admitted. “And this time around we found a great pitch here.in Monza.”

Inzaghi suggested that “The last two matches at home at the San Siro, at the Olimpico, and in Genoa there were imperfections, but in Monza it was perfect and we played very well.”

“We’re a very technical team like to play well in possession. And even out of possession we did very well.”

Inzaghi noted that “There was a lot of talk about Inter during the week.”

“But we worked well in training,” he continued. “We prepared for this match in the best way possible in five days, and I was calm this morning.”

The Inter coach then added that “We trained lightly. But I was confident.”

“The team was focused,” Inzaghi said. “We knew we were facing a quality opponent, and we had a good start to the match right away.”

And as far as the upcoming Supercoppa Italiana, Inzaghi said that “We’re the holders of that title for the last two season.”

“Now it’s a new format, but we were aware that would be the case.”

Inzaghi admitted that “We hoped to play a one-off match.”

“But we go to Saudi Arabia with confidence, knowing that we’re playing against three other teams in good form who will do everything to lift the trophy. But so will we.”
