This winter window has been a roller coaster ride for Inter. First, the deal with Leicester City almost went through, but they suddenly regretted it, and Sensi's transfer was ruined. Look at Dumfries again, the negotiating table went back and forth, but it still didn't come together. Seeing that the Dutch defender may be saying goodbye this summer, his heart is mixed.
But no one can say for sure what will happen on the football field, and entering 2024, Inter Milan will be like a reassuring pill. Won all the first 7 games, and won seven consecutive victories, this momentum is simply not too strong! Not only did they beat Napoli in the Italian Super Cup, but they also beat Roma, Lazio and Juventus in the league to reach the top of the Serie A table. For such a performance, many people say that it is the credit of Sommer. Indeed, Sommer's performance this season has been very good, with 14 clean sheets in Serie A, becoming the clean sheet king of the five major leagues. Although he had almost nothing to do against Juventus, it was also a reflection of Inter's steely defence.
When it comes to Inter's defense, it definitely didn't happen overnight. At the beginning of the season, the defense was a little lax due to the pursuit of offensive efficiency. However, Inzaghi Jr. made timely adjustments, especially against Fiorentina, and in order to defend solidly, Bastoni temporarily switched to a delayed central defender, and the three points in this game were crucial.
In the midfield, Inter's adjustment this season has also been quite successful. put Calhanoglu in the No. 4 position, and then with Barella and Mkhitaryan next to them, although he sacrificed some of the hardness of the midfield, but the bet was right. Calhanoglu is both deployable and accurate in this position, reclaiming the ball at an average of 66 times, providing endless possibilities for Inter's attack.
When it comes to attacking, we have to mention the combination of Calhanoglu and Lautaro. The duo have combined to score 28 goals this season, one of the highest in Europe. For Inter, this is not only to grasp the future, but also to make up for the regrets of the past. After all, thinking of the depression of the former Pirlo during his time at Inter, this tactical adjustment is undoubtedly a timely make-up lesson in the history of Inter.
Although the setbacks in the winter window are embarrassing, Inter Milan tells us with strength that there is no hurdle on the football field that cannot be overcome. The current Inter is not only the leader of Serie A, but also a strong team that has grown up in adversity. Looking at how they're doing now, it's really exciting and exciting. Inter, this time, we are optimistic about you!
