Inter’s emphatic 4-0 win over Red Bull Salzburg was a clear indication that the team were starting to click into gear.

This is the verdict of today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, who praise the Nerazzurri for the quality of their performance as they cruised to victory over the Austrian champions.

Inter have only just played their second friendly match of the World Cup break, and their second final one of their training retreat in Malta.

However, the team do not look to be wasting any time in recovering their hunger, energy, and tactical chemistry.

The Nerazzurri were at their fluid best in attack, whilst they were able to stifle Salzburg’s energy and physicality to keep a clean sheet.

Now, Inter will return to Milan where they will continue to train, and will soon have more of the squad back as the team really begins to take shape again.

The Nerazzurri’s next test will come in the form of another friendly clash against Real Betis on December 17, and they will be hoping that this provides another similar signal to yesterday’s win over Salzburg in view of the return of the Serie A season next month.
