Inter Milan Reignites Championship Hopes with Decisive Victory
following a challenging period, Inter Milan delivered a crucial victory, reigniting their pursuit of the championship title. The match against Salernitana was a must-win,allowing inter to close the gap on league leaders Napoli and AC Milan,who face off in a pivotal clash this Sunday.
Assistant coach Massimiliano Farris, speaking on behalf of the absent Simone Inzaghi, expressed immense satisfaction with the team’s performance. He acknowledged the recent dip in form, attributing it to the demanding schedule and its emotional toll.
“we anticipated this response,” Farris stated. “The team experienced a natural decline due to the intense fixture list. We needed a catalyst to re-energize our campaign. Salernitana had been on a strong run, but we were resolute to exploit the spaces and utilize our wingers effectively. Witnessing Lautaro and Dzeko celebrate goals was the ultimate reward.”
Farris emphasized the team’s unwavering belief in their abilities, dismissing any concerns about a physical decline.He highlighted the importance of playing their signature style, a philosophy that had been disrupted in recent matches.
“In our last two outings, we deviated from our game plan,” Farris explained. “Against Genoa, we rushed our attacks, while against Milan, our lack of composure hindered our ability to execute our strategy. This team thrives on possession and building play, and we constantly reinforce this message.”
looking ahead to the Champions League clash against Liverpool, Farris acknowledged the daunting task of overturning the first-leg deficit. However, he expressed confidence in the team’s ability to deliver a strong performance, drawing inspiration from their past successes.
“We understand the magnitude of the challenge against Liverpool,” Farris admitted. “However, we are determined to showcase our capabilities. The players are highly motivated, and we must approach the match with the same intensity and determination that characterized our early season form. The club has been incredibly supportive during this period, and we firmly believe that we control our own destiny. Tonight’s victory was a significant step in the right direction.”
Farris also addressed the tactical challenges faced by midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, who has been closely marked by opponents. He stressed the importance of teammates providing support to alleviate the pressure on Brozovic, allowing him to dictate the tempo of the game.

Moderator: Luigi,Inter clawed thier way back to winning ways against Salernitana after a recent dip in form. assistant coach Farris attributed this dip to a demanding schedule and emotional toll. Does this resonate with your experience as a player?
Luigi: Absolutely. A packed fixture list, especially combined with the pressures of competing for silverware on multiple fronts, can take a toll on any team. It’s a physical drain, but it also weighs heavy mentally. Maintaining focus and intensity game after game is a tough ask.
Moderator: farris also emphasized the importance of Inter’s signature style of possession-based football.Do you think they strayed from this beliefs during their recent struggles?
Luigi: There were certainly moments where their play looked rushed and disjointed. It’s crucial for Inter to dictate the tempo and control the midfield. When they fall out of that rhythm, they become vulnerable.

Luigi: Look, it’s going to be incredibly challenging. Anfield is a fortress, and liverpool is a top team. However, we’ve seen Inter pull off incredible comebacks before. If they can rediscover their composure, exploit the spaces, and play their game, anything is absolutely possible. Lautaro and Dzeko will be key.
Moderator: You mentioned the importance of exploiting spaces. What about the tactical challenges faced by Brozovic, who has been heavily marked recently?
Luigi: Brozovic is Inter’s metronome. When he’s stifled, the whole team suffers. His teammates need to provide more support, create passing angles, and draw defenders away, allowing Brozovic to dictate the tempo.
