A 1-1 draw at Monza in the final minute of the away game allowed the Nerazzurri to barely retain their unbeaten run in the new season.
Facing a Monza team that is not as strong as them as a whole, the Nerazzurri have already decided to start the rotation mode before this game. It's just that compared with the predictions of the media and fans, Inter coach Inzaghi Jr. is still a little conservative in terms of employment. Players such as Lautaro and Mkhitaryan, who should have been given more rest, are still in Inter's starting line-up.
And judging from the process of the game, the performance of Lautaro, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco, Darmian and other players is indeed disappointing. The absence of form and a palpable sense of exhaustion have led to a difficult time for the Nerazzurri to play on the road.
Suffice it to say, Inzaghi Jr.'s rotation in this game was not successful, and even unceremoniously failed. Due to the impact of the national team's breakday, this campaign ushered in players such as Frattesi and Asllani who started the game because of the rotation, as well as players such as Zeelinski, Taremi, and Arnautovic who came off the bench, in fact, the state is also very average, and Dumfries, who scored the equalizing goal, was also inactive for most of the game.
Compared with the incomplete rotation and the failure to achieve the expected results, there is now a bigger hidden danger hanging over Inter Milan. If Inzaghi Jr. fails to address the biggest problem of the stage, then the Nerazzurri's prospects for the season will be clouded.
Thuram Jr., who scored a brace in two games in the first three rounds of Serie A, was hidden in this game because he was not in form. Lautaro, who won the Serie A Golden Boot last season, has not opened a goal account so far this season. As the current leader and captain of the Inter team, the Argentina striker's delay in scoring goals has had an immeasurable negative impact and actual damage to the Nerazzurri. Once Inter lose the contributions of these two strikers in attack, the Nerazzurri will have to resign themselves to fate if they want to win.
So far this season, the five strikers on Inter's forward line, except for Thuram Jr., who scored four goals in Serie A, the other four strikers Lautaroma Dinnes, Taremi, Arnautovic and Correa are still embarrassing zero goals. The Nerazzurri's attacking group, with only Thuram Jr. on the back sheet so far, shows how disappointing the Nerazzurri's attacking firepower and efficiency are at this stage.
After reading such a set of data, you can know what is the problem of Inter today. After the first four Serie A games last season, the Nerazzurri scored 12 points and scored 13 goals and conceded just one, while after the first four Serie A games this season, Inter only had eight points, scoring nine goals and conceding three. Both offensively and defensively, especially on the offensive end, have weakened significantly compared to the same period last season. How to activate the five strikers in the team so that the team's offensive firepower can be guaranteed has become the most important thing for Inter at this stage.
