MILAN - Following the Under-19 side’s quick succession of matches in both the league and the Youth League, the international break now gives Armando Madonna’s side a well-earned period of rest. Fiorentina, Juve, Roma and a double-header against Barcelona are the Nerazzurri’s next obstacles, therefore, this time off must be put to good use.
Speaking to Inter TV today was Thomas Schirò, who echoed these thoughts: “This is the time to work hard and prepare ourselves in the best possible fashion for the games that await us. The win against Udinese was needed to boost our morale after losing in Eindhoven.”
As for that defeat in the Youth League and their upcoming test at La Masia, he added: “Other than some lapses in concentration, we were unlucky and we got less than we deserved. Playing against Barcelona will be a great test. We must give our all to pick up all three points and to improve our position.
“We have a competitive squad and the large number of matches allows the Coach to utilise many players. Whoever plays will give 100 percent and this is very important.”
