The Nerazzurri scored four through Danilo D’Ambrosio, Lautaro (x2) and Joaquin Correa with the Swiss side getting a consolation late in the game.

He addressed the new 3-4-1-2 formation in which an attacking midfielder is deployed behind the two strike partners Lukaku and Lautaro as well as new import Asllani’s adaptation.

Asked his feelings following the match, Inzaghi replied “Good, because we’ve only been working together for four days but we already played a serious and organized match.”

“I’m happy with what I have seen,” he continued, “we’re preparing day by day to reach August 13 at our best.”

Of the reignited partnership between Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez in attack, the coach said that “Romelu is a top player and he and Lautaro know each other very well.”

“But we also saw Joaquin Correa who did well,” he was quick to note, “and then Edin Dzeko. We were lucky enough to bring Romelu back here, I’m very satisfied. Now we have to grow and to improve.”

As for Correa who for the second time has played behind the strikers, Inzaghi said it’s a solution that allows him to change formations due to the array of strikers at his disposal. “It’s a solution. Our system is different, but with so many great forwards available I can change my setup from time to time.”

“I’m very satisfied with the attack,” the coach noted, “last season we had the best attack in Serie A and now we’ve added Lukaku. Now we’re waiting to see what the transfer market brings us across all positions.”

Asked about the possibility of Bremer joining, he said: “I’m always in contact with the directors, who always do their jobs excellently.”

“We need to find a replacement for Ranocchia who can complete the defensive positions for a back three,”

On Asllani who has been turning heads since the first day he stepped his foot into the Inter headquarters, “We wanted him, in his first few days here he’s shown great personality despite being very young.”

“He will have Brozovic ahead of him,” he noted, “but he will be an added value for us throughout the season.”

Simone Inzaghi is entering his second season with Inter Milan after winning two trophies in his first season.

Head coach Luciano Spalletti hopes to have the experienced defender for the coming season but did admit they’ll wish him well if he decided to move on.

“I hope he stays as he’s a top player and Kalidou would be our captain this year – but in case Kalidou decides to join another club, we will thank him”.

Koulibaly has been offered the captaincy by Napoli if he accepts their offer worth up to €60m net.
