According to reports, after Inter Milan’s valuable 1-0 victory against Hellas Verona in the 35th round of Serie A at the San Siro, Massimiliano Farris, assistant to Simone Inzaghi, who took charge of the team due to the head coach’s suspension, analyzed the team’s performance in an interview with DAZN.

He spoke about the strategy of managing players in this match, the importance of consecutive victories, the possible absence of Lautaro Martínez in the next game, and Mehdi Taremi’s brilliance. He also referred to planning for the crucial return match against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League.

Farris told DAZN about the match against Verona: “This was a serious match, and we must continue our path. We must do our best to win all matches and leave no regrets. On Tuesday, we spent a lot of energy in the match against Barcelona, so tonight we decided to manage the players.”

He also spoke about the possibility of replacing Lautaro Martínez with Mehdi Taremi: “Mehdi Taremi is an exceptional player. He faced some difficulties in his first season in Italy, but when he played against Barcelona, he helped us a lot, and with the minutes he has, he can score. If Lautaro cannot play, which is currently more likely, another player will take the field, and Taremi is one of the main options.”

He also spoke about a different tactic in the return match against Barcelona: “We are confident that our home stadium can give us a strong emotional boost. We may try to reduce the opponent’s possession a bit, but this idea was also present in the match against Bayern Munich. When you face big teams, you have to reduce the pressure, but to advance, we must win.”

The Inter coach also spoke about plans to contain Lamine Yamal: “Yamal had an outstanding performance in Wednesday’s game. We knew him before, but perhaps his performance level in that match was even higher than expected. We will try to limit him. He is very capable with his technique in finding spaces, even when there is no space. However, our team will focus on executing the game plan and collectively find a way to contain him.”
