Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi discussed tomorrow’s key Champions League clash against German side Borussia Dortmund when speaking to gathered reporters in a press conference earlier today.
His words were noted by Italian media outlet La Lazio Siamo Noi.
In the first leg we won the match deservedly, playing well in both halves. There are many pitfalls but we will play it with our weapons.
He commented on the condition of the squad and which players will feature tomorrow.
They’re playing so much, even unexpected problems come up. Today’s training was calm. The guys, except Muriqi, are all available.
Luiz Felipe and Caicedo are to be evaluated. Tomorrow we will have muscle tests and then we will decide on the training calmly.
The Italian coach spoke about how it feels to be in a position where the club could qualify for the next round of the Champions League should they win tomorrow, the penultimate game of the round.
There is great awareness. Great pride to be the only team unbeaten in the Champions League. Football is unpredictable, and we have seen that in the last matches.
There is still a little bit missing to achieve this qualification that we deserve for now.
We have played four important games against strong opponents. Zenit are a first-class team in our group that in the last match we put down by winning a very important match.
Finally, Inzaghi spoke about what type of result he would prefer in tomorrow’s European match between Club Brugge and Zenit St. Petersburg.
We have to watch our match, we have to play the game in the best way knowing that we depend on ourselves, we deserved it in the first games.
At the end of the match we will also watch the result of others, we want to get to Tuesday not with the problems like against Bruges.
We want to try to secure the qualification tomorrow night, we know it is difficult but we will play it with our weapons.
Lazio are currently 2nd in their Champions League group after 4 games, with eight points after two wins and two draws. They previously beat Dortmund
A win tomorrow against the German side guarantees qualification to the next round of the competition, an important result after a 13-year absence.
