Runjaic: "In Madrid, Inter dominated. We have a lot of injured players, but we are not complaining"

The Udinese manager speaks on the eve of the match against Inter

Kosta Runjaic, the Udinese manager, spoke at a press conference on the eve of Udinese's match, one of Monday's fixtures in the fourth round of Serie A: "Against Inter we will need an excellent performance. They are the best team in Serie A, they strengthened in the summer, they have a group who have been playing together for many years, with a recognisable style regardless of the manager. Chivu has picked up the principles of play that were already there and brought even more energy. In Madrid, against a team of Real's level, Inter dominated in some phases of the match, so we know what to expect and that we will have to do a lot, while also knowing how to suffer. We have several injured players but we do not like to complain, we will try to get the very best possible out of this match. It starts at 0-0 and we will try to put in a good performance, then we will see what the result will be."

On the squad and injuries: "Chakvetadze has been training regularly with the group, the injury is behind him and he is ready to play, reports Sportmediaset. We will see tomorrow how the match develops. We have considered several scenarios, but the plan is to give him some minutes. Jovanovic has just arrived, he does not have many training sessions with us in his legs, but if needed he is ready to play. Zanoli and Zaniolo will not be there against Inter, but I am optimistic of having them against Cagliari". As for the other injured players, if everything goes as it should, we will have them back after the international break".
