Having overcome all the shortcomings of the past season, the Nerazzurri team is now practically an unstoppable machine that has learned to manage even extreme situations.
Another victory, with another great performance. As written by ‘Sport mediaset‘ Inter responded strongly after the draw against Juventus. Another direct clash, this time at the Maradona, against the Italian Champions, who unfortunatly for them, faced the strongest team in Italy and got asphalted at home (0-3).
As Capello said: Championships are won when you have the best defense. Inter has that. According to Arrigo Sacchi, triumph comes when you score more than others. Inter holds that record too. Between the so-called “stylists” and the so-called “results-oriented” Inter has every math on their side right now.
Simone Inzaghi, who’s position exactly a year ago was starting to be questioned, as inevitably happens to all coaches who do not guarantee performance continuity to their team, has now managed to build a perfect and an unstoppable machine.
Without room for denial, today’s Inter is the best since the Treble, writes ‘Mediaset’. This team is a bit more refined in terms of collective play and combinations, although less rich in individualities. A team that, barring sensational surprises, is the clear favorite to win the Scudettoand the long-awaited second star.
It’s true that football is made of emotions, and not numbers, but the numbers are not lying: 6 wins in 7 away games this season in Italy with only 2 goals conceded, 9 total clean sheets, 10 goals scored by midfielders. Lautaro Martinez is Serie A’s top scorer, while the young Frenchman Thuram is capable of contributing in many ways having already scored 5 goals and assisted 6.
Inter has improved in everything, the direct clashes, the team plays better in the first half, that was a serious limitation for Inzaghi’s team in last season, which has now become a strength. In this first part of the season, victories have come against Milan, Roma, and Napoli, plus an away draw against Juve away at the ‘Allianz’.
The other great transformation concerns the relationship between Serie A matches and Champions League matches. A year ago, Inter threw away many points in the games that preceded or followed a European commitment. This year, thanks also to a less congested schedule and an easier group (last year there were Barcelona and Bayern), the Champions League factor has been almost painless for the Nerazzurri.
We don’t know if Inter can keep this up, but this team, with this game-play and this mindset can really hope to win the Scudetto, Coppa Italia and who knows, aim for at least the quarter-finals of the Champions League. But as you know, when you are in the quarter finals of the biggest European tournament, then everything is possible.
