Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi answered some questions from journalists.

An atypical season is about to begin, how will you approach it?
“This year will be an odd one because we have 20 games in the space of three months and then the league stops for 50 days. It will be a new challenge for everyone and we’re already looking into how to approach it. We’ll prepare in those 50 days but it’ll be a new situation for every coach.”

What are the aims?
“Win. We know what happened in the transfer window last season; the Club’s managers were brilliant. With the staff, we rolled our sleeves up and worked hard from day one. We played great football and people were saying that Inter were favourites, even though that wasn’t the case in July. This year, we’re starting from behind AC Milan but we – along with five or six other teams – will fight until the very end. We know that it will be hard but we want to compete like we did last year.”

Where would you like to raise the bar from last season?
“Raising the bar would mean winning the treble, which we missed out on last season by just two points. I still got a lot of satisfaction from last season: seeing the whole stadium cheering after the final game and the boys in tears because, even though they won two titles, they wanted the third. This year, we will go for it again, and will need our fans who have always supported us and will be there for this next journey, which starts on 13 August in Lecce.”
