Inzaghi sees similarities between Inter and Atalanta

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi sees similarities between his team and Atalanta and expects a different Dea tomorrow: ‘The stakes are so high…’

Inter visit Atalanta in a crucial Serie A match tomorrow. Inzaghi’s men are the table leaders, but Atalanta sit third just three points below.

“Both teams are in good form and are doing well, I know Atalanta well and they have a great recent record in Italy and in Europe,” Inzaghi told Inter’s official website.

“It will be a game that we must approach as best as possible, with lots of energy, aggression and determination as we know how strong our opposition are.”

Inter have won seven consecutive matches against La Dea, including a 4-0 triumph at San Siro in August 2024.

“That was one of the first games of the season,” argued Inzaghi.

“The transfer market was still open, Atalanta were in a bit of a crisis, so this will be a completely different approach to the game, in the best way as the stakes are so high.

“We will have to concentrate a lot, and we will have to be clinical as there will be many duels and key decisions to make in the course of ninety minutes. My players will have to be clinical.”

What will Inter need to get a result in Bergamo?

“We are both attacking sides with Serie A’s best forwards, therefore we need to be strong and ready to read every situation,” the Nerazzurri boss replied.

“Whether it’s from open play or from a dead ball, we will need to pay constant attention.

“We are two great sides and we are looking to develop a modern brand of football. We are both scoring a lot of goals as we both like playing attacking football.”

How important will Inter’s approach be?
