Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi is clearly taking steps to reformulate his Inter team that have paid off, but the team are yet to prove they’re truly back.
This is the view in today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, who suggest that the Nerazzurri’s new identity still needs to be put to the test more.
Inzaghi needed to make changes after it was clear how many problems were emerging in his Inter side as they fell to four defeats from their first eight Serie A matches.
The coach has tweaked the tactical approach a bit by having the team sit a bit deeper and rely on the counterattack more.
Moreover, the likes of Andre Onana, Hakan Calhanoglu, Federico Dimarco, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan have emerged as important figures in this team, in ways that were not necessarily anticipated just a few weeks ago.
However, the four points that Inter took against Barcelona are not necessarily as impressive as they first appeared, given the Blaugranas’ own struggles.
Moreover, the Nerazzurri’s wins in the league against Sassuolo and Salernitana, while positive signs, have not exactly come against the strongest opposition.
For now, the signs are very encouraging, but it will be in the coming weeks that it is really seen whether Inzaghi has fixed what looked like a broken team.
