Inzaghi: "Proud of the team, we are giving our all"

“It's worth giving kudos to Genoa and Vieira: I have seen them before and I am not surprised, they played really well. I want to praise my players too, who have now played their 37th match: all of the games in Serie A are difficult, we had some difficulties, but we stayed alert and Martinez did very well to stop that shot. Then, we hit the post again, but I am happy with the determination that we showed. I congratulated the team because they give everything, I am proud of them and I am happy for the fans who pushed us. I have a knowledgeable and mature team who always want to win games. We came off the back of a difficult loss that hurt, we prepared for a difficult game because Genoa are a very organised team. We work with the hope of giving our fans more joy. Acerbi did really well, we've waited for him and he helped greatly after the defensive emergency. Now, we're short in attack and I hope to recover some players. Those who play for their National Teams have already played 43-44 games this season, that's a lot: we will need to do well to recover in terms of our energy and trying not to lose anymore players, the schedule is packed. The standings with 12 games to go aren't overly important, some top sides will play tomorrow with the chance of getting back into the higher ends of the standings. We worked well in the week, despite some absences. In terms of Thuram, we're working day by day, he's getting better but still not on the pitch. If he's not there for Tuesday, we will hope he is for Saturday, we're hopeful. We have a team who feel the weight of the jersey and give their all on the pitch, they were brilliant this evening. They fought, helped each other and we have to continue like this. Serie A is filled with challenges. We want to be the protagonists in all competitions. ”
