DBasia.news – The continuation of the Serie A Derby d’Italia match will be held between Juventus against Inter Milan. Ahead of the match, the two teams did not have a difference in points.
Inter are sixth with 24 points from 12 matches and Juventus are in eighth place with 22 points from 12 matches. But in terms of morale and confidence, Il Nerazzurri are in good form following their qualification to the last 16 of the Champions League.
On the other hand, Juventus’ journey ended prematurely in the group stage with five defeats and one win, in a group consisting of PSG, Benfica and Maccabi Haifa.
Inter coach Simone Inzaghi was asked by the media whether the Derby d’Italia would end the club’s run for the Scudetto, and he responded with respect to his colleague Massimiliano Allegri, who is also under pressure to be dismissed following poor results.
“We know what the Derby d’Italia represents, it means a lot to the fans and the club,” said Inzaghi as reported by Football-Italy.
“Like Inter, Juve have won five of their last six Serie A games, so they are back on track in a passionate atmosphere. We have to move without the ball, because Juve have great defenders.”
“There are 25 games remaining and in a week of rest for the World Cup, so there is still a long way to go. It will be vital for both teams, that’s for sure. We respect Juventus and know how strong this is, as if they had a lot of injuries, they too have the quality of their young players.”
“I really appreciate Max Allegri, so we have to play an extraordinary game with quality, hard work and concentration,” said the brother of Filippo Inzaghi.
If Inzaghi wins this match he will become the second coach of Inter, who won two away Serie A games against Juventus, after Helenio Herrera (three wins in 1961 and 1965).
