L’Inter Of Simone Inzaghi is continuing in the direction traced in the second part of last season. The numbers certify a constant growth of the team. There is a fact that should make us reflect. Since April 15th, the day of the home defeat against Monza, the Nerazzurri have combined 11 victories and one defeat in the league with 36 goals scored and 9 conceded. The only flaw in this march is the defeat against Napoli at the San Paolo on 21 May. The coach, who was on the gridiron for a long time last season, has effectively taken control of the team again after reaching the Champions League final. The sprint start in the championship and the 5 goals scored against Milan in the derby demonstrate how much has changed since that 15th April.
Inzaghi’s turning point
L’Inter who beat Milan featured only one new addition on the pitch compared to last season, namely Thuram in place of Lukaku (or Dzeko). The other new signings were all sitting on the bench. Inzaghi is gradually inserting them into a game system that is now proven. Calhanoglu has now settled perfectly into the role of attacking midfielder, Dumfries seems different from the player seen last season, but the whole team has acquired greater awareness.
What is most surprising, compared to last year, however, is the greater nastiness in front of goal. Everyone thought that with Thuram and Arnautovic instead of Lukaku and Dzeko, Inter would lose a lot in the scoring phase. Thuram, on the other hand, has been devastating so far. The Frenchman who arrived with the label of a good player, but who scored little, is making all his detractors think again. Lined up alongside Lautaro Martinez, the Frenchman has already collected 2 goals and two assists in four matches, quickly making us forget who preceded him.
The potential of the team
What is surprising about‘Inter its potential is current. Frattesi, who scored for Milan, always came off the bench, just like Carlos Augusto. Pavard has yet to make his debut. The most striking case is the dualism between Mkhitaryan and Frattesi. The Armenian scored two goals and then provided the assist to Frattesi who came on in place of Barella. This means that the Nerazzurri still have important margins for improvement when everyone is perfectly integrated into the mechanism.
It will be interesting to understand above all how Inzaghi will manage his forces now that the Champions League is arriving. That will be the real test for the Nerazzurri. If Inzaghi manages to manage the inevitable drops due to the double commitment, then Inter this year is a candidate to be the number one candidate for the Scudetto.
