In addition to the excessive power shown by the Lautaro-Thuram duo last season, if Inter won the second star’s scudetto with such a large margin compared to their pursuers, the credit was due to the iron rearguard that Simone Inzaghi enjoyed. But for the start of this season it is as if the wall had collapsed, compared to 7 goals in 6 Serie A matches, unlike the incredible figure of 0 goals conceded by Juventus just one point above in the standings.
It’s a shame that the Champions League doesn’t play the same tune. Far from it, given that Sommer’s goal remained clean after 2 days between Manchester City and Red Star. So what has changed? According to the analysis of Corriere dello Sport a lot depends on the greater concentration and mental stability of the Nerazzurri on more renowned and international pitches compared to Genoa and Monza. And secondly in the last period, precisely after the collapse in the derby, there has been a positive evolution of some individuals which has relaunched Inter in terms of results.
But now there is a new exam to face and it is the Turin injured Vanoli, tied on points in the Serie A standings, which the Nerazzurri will host at San Siro tomorrow. An opponent – we read in the Roman newspaper – in the first 4 games out of 6 in total scored at least 2 goals, therefore a real red alert for Inter’s dancing rearguard. To overcome the problem, Inzaghi will make some rotations, after having managed to rest some of the key players in the starting line-up, but in comparison with his players – it goes deeper – the coach from Piacenza has returned several times to the errors committed by the rearguard to call for asuperior attention. Starting tomorrow.
