Inzaghi Commends Inter's Resilience After Victory Over Venezia

Simone Inzaghi, the head coach of Inter Milan, praised his team for their strong performance in a 1-0 victory over Venezia, highlighting their resilience in the aftermath of their loss to AC Milan in the Italian Super Cup final the previous week. An early goal from Matteo Darmian secured the win for Inter, bringing them to second place in Serie A, just one point behind the leaders, Napoli.

Inzaghi reflected on the match, noting that although they had several opportunities to double their lead in the second half, they were unable to do so, leaving the game competitive until the end, particularly thanks to impressive saves from Filip Stankovic. He acknowledged the difficulty of bouncing back after the Super Cup defeat but praised his players for their effort and commitment, stating they faced the challenge despite fatigue.

Looking ahead to their upcoming match against Bologna, Inzaghi mentioned potential injury issues with some key players but remained hopeful about Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Acerbi's availability, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan's situation would be assessed soon. He also welcomed the return of Benjamin Pavard, who had been sidelined for an extended period.

Regarding midfielder Davide Frattesi, who has been the subject of transfer speculation linking him to Roma and Napoli, Inzaghi firmly stated that the player remains a vital part of Inter Milan's future plans. He expressed confidence in Frattesi's contributions and indicated that more playing opportunities may come for him, emphasizing that the club appreciates his hard work and dedication.
