An Inter like this has never been seen before. Young fans and seasoned ones alike repeat it, as do those who have been following the team for many years.
Simone Inzaghi has succeeded in this very difficult task: making his team beautiful and effective like never before, a distinctive hallmark that has often marked eras for teams that in the past have won by playing beautiful football.
BREAKING THE SPELL
Against Atalanta, Simone Inzaghi broke another taboo, which was so frightening. In the 21/22 season, a rescheduled match (against Bologna) cost them a league title, but in the 23/24 season, it put Juventus 12 points behind and Milan 16. This also shows Inzaghi’s clear growth and that of his team, which now plays total football. The field is like a chessboard to move on by memory, governed by continuous synapses. Everyone knows their role and what will happen next, everyone moves thinking ahead. For the fourth consecutive time in the league, Inter scored 4 goals, a feat last achieved in 1930.
THE MARCH
The victory against Atalanta, more than others, seems to propel Inter towards an unstoppable run, despite more prestigious triumphs in the past. The schedule is now up to date, and with 12 matches left in the season, the Nerazzurri have built up an insurmountable lead. Thus, the time is ticking for another star, the second one, the one Inter has been craving since the beginning of the season without hiding from microphones and cameras. This, too, is another notable difference between Inzaghi and his colleagues.
