Inter, the Champions League at the Sassuolo crossroads

If they want to enter the Champions League, Spalletti's team has no alternatives: they must beat Sassuolo tonight to face the final play-off against Lazio in the best conditions – The formations on the pitch at San Siro

Inter, the Champions League at the Sassuolo crossroads

Three points to cultivate the Dream. The Champions League is calling and Inter have only one way to keep chasing it: to beat Sassuolo, without ifs and buts. Only afterwards will we think about the "final" against Lazio and all the necessary calculations, but first we need 3 points at San Siro (20.45 pm), possibly also scoring quite a few goals. Yes, because at this point of the season we need to think about everything, even the goal difference which currently sees the Biancocelesti ahead by 6 goals, a haul that would prove to be decisive in the event of an equal finish. “I'm only interested in winning, I don't even listen to other speeches – he glossed over Spalletti. - Speak about goleade it seems disrespectful to me, I'm thinking about winning 1-0 and then going to play for the final against Lazio. This against Sassuolo must be a semi-final for us, moreover with over 70 people in the stands to be honored in the best possible way”. San Siro will actually respond in the best possible way, so much so that it will almost be sold out for a challenge not exactly cartel.

However, there is something very big at stake that goes far beyond Sassuolo, which is why the Nerazzurri coach wants maximum concentration, regardless of the opponent. There is a risk of thinking that it is already done, especially since i greenblacks are safe and therefore without any pretensions of classification: exactly the type of dangerous situation that Spalletti want to avoid at all costs. “Last season this team was fighting for a place in the Europa League and was behind Milan, Lazio and Atalanta – explained the coach. – Now, however, we are fighting for the Champions League and that is why I give the season a clear, clear and important pass. Unfortunately we sometimes dropped points along the way, which is why we have to play the right way." So no calculations but only hunger and desire to win, obviously with the best possible training. Spalletti will field the 4-2-3-1 type with Handanovic in porta, Cancel itSkriniar, Ranocchia (ballot with the returning Miranda) and D'Ambrosio in defence, Borja Valero e Brozovic in midfield, CandrevaRafinha e Perisic on the trocar behind the lone striker Icardi. Iachini, now mathematically safe, will respond with the usual 3-5-2 therefore Consigli between the posts, Lemos, Acerbi and Dell'Orco in the back department, Adjapong, Missiroli, Sensi, Duncan e Rogerio in the median, Berardi and Politano in attack.
