Inter Milan Coach Laser-Focused On Salernitana Clash – No Mention Of Shock Juventus Loss Vs Udinese In Talk To Squad | OneFootball

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is only concentrating on Friday’s match against Salernitana despite yesterday’s shock Juventus defeat.

This according to Italian news outlet Gazzetta.it. The Gazzetta report that the Nerazzurri made no mention of the surprise loss by the Bianconeri to Udinese in his message to his squad today.

Inter are not just depending on their own form over the rest of the season in Serie A.

The Nerazzurri will also be well aware of what’s happening around them. And above all, to the form of Juventus, their chief rivals for the title so far this season.

In this sense, Udinese did Inter a big favour yesterday.

The Friulani handed Juventus their third defeat of the season. And the fact that they did so at the Bianconeri’s home in Turin made the result all the more surprising.

And damaging for Juventus. It leaves them not just seven points behind Inter – but also with the Nerazzurri having a game in hand.

So in a sense, yesterday’s result certainly gave Inter all the more advantage.

So with the advantage now seven points, potentially ten if Inter win their game in hand against Atalanta, the team’s fate is more in their hands than ever.

But it is for precisely that reason that Inzaghi doesn’t want his players considering the Bianconeri’s loss yesterday at all.

The Inter coach wants to avoid complacency at all costs.

Inzaghi does not want his team to see the advantage that they have over Juventus as a margin for error.

The Nerazzurri gave themselves that gap with a string of recent wins that saw them beat the Bianconeri head-to-head, as well as beating teams like Fiorentina and Roma.

And Inzaghi wants the team to keep that run up.

If Inter remain in the form that they’ve been in all season, then there’s no question that they will go on and win the Serie A title.

And the way to do that is to concentrate on one match at a time.

So that was the entirety of Inzaghi’s talk to his squad. No mention of the beneficial potential of Juventus’s defeat yesterday.

Just focus on Salernitana, getting one more result to be a building block towards the Scudetto.
