Journalist Matteo Marani examined Inter’s performance against Sampdoria last night: “Inter were excellent for the first 60 minutes. They were excellent because they showed their ability to play as a team.”

Marani then examined some individual performances in the Inter team, “Matias Vecino and Roberto Gagliardini shone in the midfield, working together and working well with Borja Valero. We are also seeing a great Antonio Candreva, who has a great relationship with Danilo D’Ambrosio. Ivan Perisic’s ability to give support to midfielders is a sign of the desire to sacrifice these men. Then, there is Mauro Icardi, who is a top striker.”

Marani then spoke further on Icardi, the current club captain: “I think he is a super professional, he proved that during many off the field events that have happened. He never lost his ferocity on the pitch and this is one of his strengths. I’d say it’s a perfect match between Icardi and Luciano Spalletti.”

There is still something missing for Inter if they want the scudetto but they can certainly play for the top places, they have consolidated themselves. In January, they need a couple of players if they wish to fight for the top places to the end. The team was already at a great level but compared to last year this Inter shows sacrifice.”
