Inter Milan need to press the reset button ahead of their Serie A clash with title rivals Atalanta, coach Simone Inzaghi said on Saturday, after experiencing midweek euphoria by beating rivals Juventus in the Italian Super Cup.

A 120th-minute strike from substitute Alexis Sanchez gave the league leaders a dramatic extra time victory at San Siro in the “Derby of Italy”, earning Inzaghi his first trophy since taking up the Inter job in the off-season.

“Winning my first trophy in front of our fans was a beautiful experience,” Inzaghi told a news conference.

“But it’s already in the past, we know that we need to calm down from our euphoria.”

Inter head to Bergamo on an eight-game (league) winning streak, which has left them one point clear of AC Milan on top of the table with a game in hand.

But Atalanta, who earned a 2-2 draw against the champions in Milan in September, are eight points behind Inter in fourth and Inzaghi was asked if the game represents a battle between title rivals. “Absolutely, they are fourth and have finished third for the last three years, while continually improving,” he said.

Sanchez described himself as a “caged lion” after scoring the winner against Juve and hinted that he wanted more game time by saying: “The more a champion plays, the better he is.”
