Inter of the present vs Inter of the future. The match against Livorno can easily be presented like this, especially now that the guidelines of the new club are starting and emerging from Indonesia. Which will be marked by promising young players, just like Bardi, Duncan, Benassi and Mbaye, people on loan from Livorno but owned by the Nerazzurri. And so the anticipation of San Siro (20.45 pm), on paper quite obvious, finds an extra pinch of pepper. “We follow all the players on loan, they are interesting – admitted Mazzarri at the press conference. – As happens in important academies, it happens that you send someone to play to make them grow, I hope they will be useful to Inter in the future”. In short, we are looking to tomorrow more than today, on the other hand it could not be otherwise, given the imminent arrival in Milan of the Indonesian consortium.
However, all of this is of little interest to Mazzarri, who is very concentrated on today's match against Livorno, who for him represents something more than a simple opponent. In addition to having coached him in 2003/04 (taking him to Serie A), the amaranth club is that of his hometown, as he is originally from San Vincenzo, located right in the province of Livorno. But Sergeant Walter has no intention of being softened: "That was an important part of my past, but today I'm the coach of Inter." In short, no indulgence, also because the ranking does not allow for missteps. Indeed, this could be a rather important round for the Nerazzurri, who in case of victory would take advantage of the direct clash between Juventus and Napoli, currently in the Champions League area. “The fate of the others does not depend on us, we will have our own race – Mazzarri spread his arms. – This will be a tricky match, nobody can be underestimated in current football. Pitfalls are always around the corner, we need to replicate what was done in Udine”.
That's why the men from Friuli should be re-proposed as a whole, apart from the disqualified Juan Jesus who will be replaced by the recovered Samuel. Campagnaro is still unavailable (in place of him there will be Rolando), who is also the protagonist of a diplomatic case with the Argentine federation. “Inaccuracies have been said, the club has already responded with a press release – reiterated Mazzarri. – If a player is not available to the group he cannot train, there are no other considerations to make". No doubts also in midfield, where Udine's 5-man line (Jonathan-Taider-Cambiasso-Alvarez-Nagatomo) will be revived, pace of Kovacic, back on the bench. In fact, Guarin will act behind the untouchable Palacio, protagonist of a good match in Udine.
