A fundamental match, to unlock the Champions League and continue chasing the goal of the round of 16. Inter hosts at San Siro waiting for the Sheriff to restart, after the defeat against Lazio in the league, but above all to straighten out an already complex situation in the group. However, the challenge cannot be underestimated in the least, given what has already happened in the Moldovans' matches against Real Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk, with the two surprise successes. "I think they didn't win two games by chance. You have to be good, attack but not lose distance and measures. We know that tomorrow will not be easy but it is a fundamental match, we want to change this trend in Europe", Simone Inzaghi's words on the eve at a press conference. A trend that speaks of zero wins and zero goals scored in the first 180 'season and only five successes in the main continental competition in the last four seasons (out of 20 total matches played in this period), two of which arrived in 2018/19 when Luciano Spalletti was still on the bench, today at the helm of Napoli. "It will take nastiness, aggression and determination - continued Inzaghi -. We know that we meet a team that will come here on the wings of enthusiasm, organized, which defends itself fairly low but not always, exploiting men who can hurt when restarting".aggression and determination - continued Inzaghi -.

"I hope that my boys will be able to enjoy the atmosphere of San Siro. I hope it will be a good match for us and that everyone can have fun": these are the words of the Sheriff's coach, Yuriy Vernydub, on the eve of the Champions League match against Inter at San Siro.
"There are absences - explains the Ukrainian, who in the two previous matches defeated Real Madrid and Shakhtra Donetsk -, above all Yakhshiboev has had an injury and there cannot be even Athanasiadis, who had a malaise and remained in Moldova. . The others are all ready and available "
