Inter Milan manager Luciano Spalletti hassaid that the upcoming Champions League game against PSV Eindhoven remains the most important once since he took over the reins at the Nerazzurri. The Italian tactician guided the club to the Champions League after six years during his debut campaign last term and he is now looking to helping them progress to the round of 16.
Speaking to reporters, he said:“This match is the most important one since I’ve been here and it represents the next step that follows on from Lazio vs. Inter on 20 May. Since I’ve been here, we’ve got the points and put in the performances that we needed. We’re all aware of the importance of this game, the players are working really well. We know that qualification won’t just depend on our result but I’d imagine that those at Barcelona would be offended if we continue to doubt their professionalism.They’re a serious club with real professionals, we can’t look at their game.”
Inter face a must-win match against PSV Eindhoven at the San Siro on Tuesday but that does not completely guarantee them progress to the knockouts. Tottenham Hotspur are currently ahead of the Nerazzurri in the second spot with the better head-to-head record and Spalletti’s side require a favour from Barcelona if they are to have any chance of qualifying beyond the group stage.
Nonetheless, they should first look to secure the three points against PSV and that won’t be easy, given they have recently gone through a rough phase with three winless matches across all competitions. Inter returned from the previous international break with a comfortable 3-0 win over Serie A minnows Frosinone but they have since struggled with just one draw from the games against Tottenham Hotspur, AS Roma,and Inter Milan.
After a difficult start to the campaign, Spalletti has been able to get Inter on a great run of form that was partly instigated by the 2-1 win over Spurs at home. Since this late victory, Inter have gone on a strong streak but they still remain a long way from the successful squad of 2010 that managed to win the treble. Chivu was part of that iconic team that won against Barcelona in the semifinals. He says that it would be extremely difficult to achieve a treble in the current campaign since there are several stumbling blocks for Spalletti.
