Ready for anything! Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi holds a press conference prior to the match against Sheriff Tiraspol on Wednesday, November 3, for the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.

The Italian coach did not underestimate his opponent and stated that the Transnistrian team is quite strong. "They did not defeat Real Madrid and Shakhtar by luck," Inzaghi said.

"We have to stay focused 100% and be in perfect physical condition throughout the match. The Sheriff has shown what they are capable of on the counterattack... We are a very offensive team that aims to create scoring opportunities. That's the path we need to follow: create numerous chances without wearing ourselves out," he emphasized.
