After Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Inter Milan at San Siro on Wednesday evening, Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi praised Arsenal as one of the finest sides he’s seen in the Champions League this season. Inzaghi made this statement after Arsenal’s victory.
The team coached by Mikel Arteta was defeated in Milan, and the Serie A winners were able to secure the victory with a penalty kick scored by Hakan Calhanoglu in the first half.
Despite Arsenal’s dominance in the second half, they were unable to find a way to break through Inter’s resolute defense. Yann Bisseck, who played center back for Inter, turned in one of the most impressive performances of the match.
As a result of the loss, Arsenal is currently ranked 12th in the Champions League standings, two points below an automatic spot in the knockout phase. Inter, on the other hand, are currently ranked fifth with 10 points from four games and have not yet suffered a loss in the tournament.
Inzaghi stated to Sky Sport Italia after his team’s victory, “It’s a very important victory, desired, hard-fought, against a very strong team that created difficulties for us, especially on set pieces.” Inzaghi’s statement was made after his team’s victory.
The Champions League adventure that I’ve been on has shown me that they are among the greatest teams I’ve seen.
After getting off to a strong start, we began to lose distance. During the second half, we were able to resume the game more effectively and defend ourselves well. A victory in front of our fans is a very meaningful victory, and the fact that City and Arsenal are playing each other in this manner is a source of pride.
It is imperative that we continue in this manner, since we are now keeping a solid average in the Champions League, and we must continue in this manner.At a subsequent news conference following the match, Inzaghi was questioned about whether or not he had meant for his Inter team to defend in such a deep manner.
According to Inzaghi, “it is possible for it to occur with certain opponents in terms of the development of the match.”
“Arsenal will take you with the entire team when you defend low. We gave up too many corners where they are dangerous, but we have put a lot of effort into improving this, and the boys were outstanding.”
They are a part of spectacular duels in the Premier League, and they have demonstrated that they are a quality club. Despite this, we were able to defeat a fantastic team, and I believe that we did so in conjunction with Manchester City.
