“Skriniar will probably play, but he will no longer be our captain. Lukaku is growing”

Almost three weeks after winning the derby by Italian Super Cupin Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, Inter are preparing to face the Milan. Simone Inzaghi takes stock of the Nerazzurri: «The derby is a game that is deeply felt by all of us. It will take head and heart. We get there ready to give everything on the field and happy with the qualification for the Italian Cup semifinal which we will think about in April. Did we just win one 3-0? We have played many and they are always different. Those of the Cup have allowed us to win two important trophies. Those in the championship were disappointments so you have to face them with the right concentration, always trying to be balanced because you risk arriving at the match with a lot of spent mental energy », she explained. With regard to Skriniar, it was a particular week: «I don’t judge the choices, but the man and the player who are unique. A splendid boy who always works very well. Training today and tomorrow morning is missing but most likely it will be from the match. He will no longer be the captain but we talked about it with him. Lukaku? It is growing, I hope to bring everyone in the best condition. Then I’m the coach and I’ll try to make functional choices for the match».

The derby is played exactly one year after the one lost 2-1 with two goals from Giroud: «I don’t remember the derby of the recent Super Cup, let alone the one a year ago. It is decided in the single episode and we will have to be good at exploiting them ». And on Naples: «We know that there is this gap. I said it before every point is very important for every goal. Let’s just look at what happens at Inter».
