Look, this team has been playing the best football it has in years. Look at the past three seasons if you want a perfect example of what happens when coaches focus on attack.
Give the club time and we’ll be back challenging for the Scudetto before you know it!
I wouldn’t say playing very defensively equals a solid defense..
But it is 🙂
Mazzarri has done what this inter team has needed in a LONG time – since Mourinho. We now have a solid defense again
The defense is working and the attack lacks a real goalscore – just like Mazza has been wanting for a long time!
