Inter’s New Wall , the Twin Towers etc. They have already been called many names, the certainty is that the partnership of Stefan De Vrij and Milan Skriniar is confirming expectations, and, perhaps, even beyond expectations.

Rome based Corriere dello Sport suggests that “Europe has produced other results, highlighted by the two goals conceded with Skriniar and De Vrij, but they forced long-distance goals who had to beat Handanovic in the net. We need to take stock of the goals conceded: Dimarco, Chiesa which was a clear deflection off of Skriniar and then Rosario have all struck from long distance. They couldn’t get in the box.”

In September until you get to PSV vs Inter, only against Tottenham did Inter concede goals from inside the area. But, even there, the deflection off of Miranda on Eriksen’s shot is evident and unlucky. In fact, last year Inter had embarked on the road of defensive balance. Fourth best defence conceding 30 goals conceded, in line with their position in the league, equal with Napoli and Roma and with only six goals conceded more than eventual winners Juventus.
