ROME (Reuters) - 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 the Inter job in the off-season.

"But it’s already in the past, we know that we need to calm down from our euphoria before tomorrow, because it will be a very complicated match." 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.

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.”
