Like coach Simone Inzaghi, he thinks that the powerful weapon of the reigning Czech football champion is physical preparation. “It’s always something different when I can speak Slovak, it’s great. From my home (Žiaru nad Hronom), Pilsen is closer to Slovakia than Italy, so someone from my family and friends comes to see me. Many boys played in Pilsen, who were with me in the rep. I am personally very much looking forward to the match,” said the 27-year-old representative Škriniar at the press conference, who with Inter in 2019 met Slavia Prague in the main stage of the Champions League. Plzeň is very well physically prepared. He appreciated Viktoria’s qualities. “Pilsen has a very good team, the coach (Bílek) has set up a very good system. We watched their matches, analyzed their game. I think their biggest weapon is that they are physically very well prepared. We will definitely pay attention, especially to the long balls that they present themselves with, and quick counterattacks. We will try to eliminate that,” said the former Žilina player.

It has a good team, especially when it plays at home, that’s where its strength lies. It has very strong players, for example Mosquera or Sýkora. It is definitely necessary to prepare for them , it’s a strong team,” stated the 46-year-old Italian. Both teams have lost. The teams will fight for the first points in the table. Pilsen entered the Champions League with a 1:5 loss in Barcelona, ​​while Inter lost at home to Bayern Munich 0:2. “After losing to Bayern, it will be a very important match for us. We have a very strong group. We have to give everything,” declared Inzaghi.

We exchanged a few words between ourselves and between the coaches in the dressing room. We are happy that we managed to win at the weekend, and that we improved our mood and made up our appetite after losing matches. We will certainly try to win the match tomorrow, because it is very important for us,” said Škriniar, who joined the Nerazzurri in the summer of 2017 from Genoa’s Sampdoria.
