Tonight Inter will face a new test as they will have to face Cagliari, an opponent that likes to sit back, close the spaces, and attack on the counter. This is exactly the kind of opponent that Inter have shown to suffer against this season. The Gazzetta dello Sport emphasizes the importance of a victory tonight for Inter.
“A victory tonight would show that Inter are capable of continuity, a concept that Spalletti has been prioritizing for a while. A victory would ultimately mean that the team will have a calm mind during their flight to Eindhoven for their important Champions League. Spalletti has a few things in mind now: finding the right balance of possession and goal-scoring opportunities for Inter and to recover some of the players that seem to have been forgotten (Candreva, Miranda, and Borja Valero.) Both teams will be looking for the vital three points as Inter look to continue their winning streak while Cagliari are looking to get their second victory of the season.”
