Djed Spence so far GIVES INTER BALANCE NEEDED.
His movement, pressing, positioning + understanding of Chivu's system have made him THE FINAL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE. 🧩🔵⚫

[The Italian Football Podcast @ItaFootPod]

Chivu OUTCLASSED Fàbregas from start to finish.
THIS is HOW Inter MUST play BIG GAMES.
A TACTICAL MASTERCLASS + Derby lesson learned. 🔵⚫️

[Nima Tavallaey Roodsari @NimaTavRood]

This was fun.

[The Italian Football Podcast @ItaFootPod]

Icardi remains one of football’s most LETHAL FINISHERS, but his Inter chapter is CLOSED. 🔵⚫

[Nima Tavallaey Roodsari @NimaTavRood]

Lovely counterattack from left to right by Inter.
Djed Spence’s explosive speed has provided exactly what Inter needs so far in both phases.
Important for Pio to score there. https://t.co/GEeHKVwWjs

Barella turned invisible, Sucic made irrelevant: Chivu's derby tactics ABYSMAL + had NO ANSWERS to fix it.
Marotta must take responsibility for his appointment.
These players deserve a PROPER COACH. 🤦‍♂️🔵⚫

[Nima Tavallaey Roodsari @NimaTavRood]

Don’t want to take anything away from Milan who played well with a MOTM performance by Moreira.
BUT Tonight Chivu proved once more that he is nowhere near ready for a job like Inter. Once again in a big match he shows how green he is, making Tactical decisions from start to finish that were incomprehensible, not just to us watching but more importantly to the players on the pitch.

[Nima Tavallaey Roodsari @NimaTavRood]

3-4-2-1 with Sucic & Diouf behind Thuram suggests Inter playing with a false 9 as Thuram will drift out wide with Sucic/Diouf or other central player running into area from deep.
Brave to try it out in derby for first time.

[The Italian Football Podcast @ItaFootPod]

A Milan derby win is a TURNING POINT for either side.
Inter have the stronger squad on paper, but can Milan BRIDGE THE GAP? 👀🔥

[Nima Tavallaey Roodsari @NimaTavRood]

Worst performance of the season by Inter in terms of attitude & approach. So arrogant & unconcentrated winning thanks to nothing but bad luck for Venezia who score 2 owngoals + have 2 goals disallowed for offside.
Inter have Milan in derby on Sat but this attitude: inexcusable.

[Nima Tavallaey Roodsari @NimaTavRood]

In the end a day at the office kind of win for Inter without much drama.
The biggest positive is the calm & systematic reaction to going a goal down when grinding Bologna down.
The biggest negative: again the defence. All over the place: individually & structurally lost.

[Nima Tavallaey Roodsari @NimaTavRood]

WHAT A BALL BY BARELLA!!
Outstandingly patient build up by Inter & wonderful header Thuram

[The Italian Football Podcast @ItaFootPod]

Is MAROTTA to blame for Inter’s struggles in the Champions League? 🤔
Chivu is still LEARNING ON THE JOB, but was he the right choice for the Nerazzurri? 🔵⚫️

[The Italian Football Podcast @ItaFootPod]

FOURTH straight Champions League LOSS for Inter: Is Chivu ready to lead Inter in Europe?
Is Pep Martínez good enough to start? 🔵⚫️

[Nima Tavallaey Roodsari @NimaTavRood]

4th consecutive loss in the Champions League for Chivu.
His Inter have now lost 7(!) of their last 8 matches in the Champions League, only win vs Borussia Dortmund in last league phase match last season.
This season Inter have conceded 14 goals in 8 games all comps.

[The Italian Football Podcast @ItaFootPod]

Is this the BEST squad DEPTH Inter have had in Beppe Marotta Era? 🔵⚫️👀

[The Italian Football Podcast @ItaFootPod]

Not everyone left the break in a STRONGER position. 🇮🇹📉
Who took the BIGGEST HIT in Italy’s squad? 👀

[The Italian Football Podcast @ItaFootPod]

The BIGGEST WINNERS from the International break are Italy. 🇮🇹🔥
Kayode, Bastoni, Frattesi & Esposito brothers embody why Azzurri fans can be OPTIMISTIC

[The Italian Football Podcast @ItaFootPod]

7 GOALS IN 13 MATCHES 🇮🇹🔥
Pio Esposito could be Italy ALL-TIME Goalscorer 👀

[The Italian Football Podcast @ItaFootPod]

Bastoni Azzurri redemption arc continues in a back four - this time vs France 🇮🇹
Kean has EVERYTHING to be a top player — but the missing piece is his finishing. ⚽
