Inter Milan coach Inzaghi: We must be at our best at Udinese; Barella is a winner

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is convinced they go into tonight's clash with Udinese in good shape.

Inter go to Udine with Inzaghi upbeat about their form.

He said, “We always play to win every match. Luck was not on our side in Genoa, we need to be more clinical in front of the goal the team had the right attitude, we gave our all to win.

“Our solidity lately is a very encouraging factor, the team is defending as one, together. It's going to be a tough match tomorrow. Udinese are a good team, they are strong technically and physically.

“We will need to be at our best. I may be repetitive but despite the Champions League on the horizon, the focus is on Inter-Udinese," continued the coach.

“I think that our biggest motivation tomorrow comes from wanting to win in front of our fans.

“I will make the necessary assessments. I will rely on all players, the starters and those on the bench."

Inzaghi also commented on Nicolo Barella and his row last week with Romelu Lukaku.

He added, “Barella is totally committed to the cause, he has so much motivation, he always wants to win.

“The desire can at times spill over, but we all know what kind of person he is. I have confidence in him and the rest of the team."
