Inzaghi warns Inter that ‘initial approach important’ against Torino | OneFootball

Simone Inzaghi warns Inter that ‘the initial approach is very important’ against Torino, as they try to bring some of their Champions League defending to Serie A.

It kicks off at San Siro at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Atalanta–Genoa on the Liveblog.

After squad rotation for the 4-0 Champions League victory over Crvena Zvezda, stars like Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram and Federico Dimarco return to the starting XI.

These two teams go into the weekend level on 11 points, as Toro were the Serie A leaders until last week’s 3-2 home defeat to Lazio.

“We know the opponent has quality and on Sunday lost their first game of the season, so we prepared well and will try to put in a strong performance,” Inzaghi told Sky Sport Italia.

“The initial approach is very important. We had the right attitude in Udine and with Red Star, so we must make that consistent.”

Inzaghi wants more Inter solidity

While they have not conceded a single goal in Europe, their Serie A form is less impressive, leaking seven in as many games.

“I maintain the whole squad should work to help defend, we made the first step on Tuesday and must now continue that,” concluded the coach.

Inter suffered their first defeat of the campaign in the Derby della Madonnina against rivals Milan, but the biggest concern has been dropping points against smaller clubs like Genoa and Monza.
