Inzaghi: Respect for Real, we need a perfect fight to win

Respect for Real Madrid, not fear. Simone Inzaghi, in his debut in the Champions League with Inter, has shown that he has clear ideas. Zikaltri, backed by their fans, should try to play an offensive match and seek the goal. At the news conference, the coach of Italian champions scattered optimism.

Inzaghi, do you think that the double loss against Reale last year, but in the group phase, can affect your players?
What has happened has happened, including the double challenge of last season against Real. We have an excellent opportunity to write an important page of the present. It won't be an easy group, but we want to qualify.

The interest has come three years in a row that cannot go beyond the group stage. What did you tell your players to believe that the outcome will be different this time?
Experience in such games is very important. We know from the day of the lots that the group is not easy, because besides Real, there will be two teams that will do anything to challenge us. We have two more training sessions to prepare better for an unfaithful fight against a team of great traditions, with a big coach and big players.

Can you imagine tomorrow's match as Sampdoria-Inter or will you welcome the opponents?
It's normal for Sunday to be considered a failure, but we played the last 20 minutes with one less player. The matches are put in the final phase, and in that sense we've been penalised. Real drive well with Modric, but it also has depth in the attack. We'll have to cover the spaces, but also keep the ball and make them run when possible.
