Lazio, Inzaghi: "Atalanta will be a difficult test. We want to start again."
Lazio returns to Serie A play, with an exciting match on Wednesday against Gasperini's Atalanta. Inzaghi spoke to the press prior to the match.
"There's a great desire to start again, we want to leave this period behind us. We saw, also thanks to Coppa Italia, that there will be difficulties with the timing of matches, physical problems and mental exhaustion, but it will be like this for everyone. We had great certainties, then we stopped for a long time. In this period, I saw the guys wanting to take back what we left."
On injuries: "Leiva, Lulic, Marusic and Luiz Felipe won't play against Atalanta. We hope to have Marusic back for Fiorentina. Adekanye and Raul Moro also won't play, they could have given us a hand in attack. I have great confidence in the others, we tried to make a group. Lulic is suffering from a serious injury that he may return from for next year. Luiz Felipe has a sprain, Marusic an extension and Leiva still has problems training every day."
On starting again: "To arrive where we arrived and win trophies, we had a great spirit. We did something important and want to start again in the same way. It will be a unique season with 12 matches in 40 days, nobody knows what to expect. It will be a new situation for everyone and we must make ourselves ready. The players usually stop for a maximum of 20 days, this time it was 3 months on the couch."
On Atalanta: "We all know the value of Atalanta, it's a team that's been playing very well for years. My path starting together with Gasperini, we have had many matches against each other. It will be a great match and a difficult test."
