Speaking to the club’s website, Inzaghi acknowledged the challenge of playing in a tough atmosphere due to Feyenoord’s passionate supporters and highlighted their physical style of play.
“They’re a physical team with great qualities,” Inzaghi said.
“We know that it’s not an easy environment at their place, I played there in 2000 with Lazio. We played in the quarter-finals in the second group stage. I’ve not been there as a coach yet, but I know it’s a fiery atmosphere.
“They’re a quality team that has changed coach. They did well in the league despite ending at 0-0 (against NEC). They’ve already done great things in the Champions League, Bayern lost despite knowing that they still weren’t in the play-offs, they knocked Milan out. We know there will be a second leg, but we have to focus on tomorrow.
“We know that there are two legs, but the boys know that the first match has a lot of value when it comes to getting through the round. We will have to play a great game. I am still thinking about the best possible solutions to ensure that the team plays a good game. We have some problems to solve, but I’ve seen willingness from everybody.”
