Italian journalist Riccardo Trevisani suggests Inter have become over-confident after smoking the competition last season.
The Nerazzurri dominated the league from start to finish last season. They managed to assemble 94 points while leaving the competition in the dust.
However, the situation has been drastically different this season. The Serie A title is significantly more open this time as evidenced by the betting odds.
With Napoli, Inter, Juventus and possibly an outsider like the mesmerizing Atalanta all in the fray, guessing the next champion won’t be as straightforward as last season.

While Inter were the big odds-on favorite to retain their Scudetto crown, Trevisani warns that the players are displaying a different attitude this season as evidenced by their complacent approach in the 1-0 victory over Venezia.
Hence, the journalist believes their lack of effort would cost them dearly against bigger opposition.
“I believe it’s exclusively a mental issue,” said Trevisani in his post-match analysis with Fontana di Trevi via FcInterNews.
Riccardo Trevisani Weighs In On Worrying Inter Milan Attitude
“I don’t know if the coach is struggling to transmit his ideas to the players, or If the players have become bourgeois after garnering 94 points last season, or if there’s a slightly naive attitude.
“Surely the attitude with which Calhanoglu defends against Haps ahead the goal disallowed is not what we used to see.”
“Last season, whenever Inter took the lead, you knew you could change the channel because they had the match in the bag. This year, they have been continuously shaky, from Genoa onwards.
“If it happens four or five times then you must wake up. Against Venezia, it almost happened again with the starters on the pitch.”
On the other hand, the pundit heaped praise on Federico Dimarco who was arguably the best Inter player on the pitch. The wingback provided the assist for Lautaro Martinez’s winner with a sensational cross.
Therefore, Trevisani argues the Italy international is one of the best crossers in his position across Europe.
“Dimarco’s crosses are the best in Europe among all wingbacks. Maybe only behind Alexander-Arnold or Grimaldo, who is also better at getting into the box and taking free kicks.
“But Dimarco’s consistency is the same as Grimaldo from last season at Leverkusen. He is always playing well even when tired because Carlos Augusto is out.”
