At 19:30 Beijing time on January 6, the 20th round of Serie A will start a key battle, inter Milan away to Bologna. Before the match, Inzaghi Jr. was named the best coach of the month in Serie A, and Inter won five consecutive games, scoring 15 goals and not conceding 1 goal. In the first game of 2022, Inter will inevitably have to point out three points and continue to maintain the lead. In addition, Inzaghi Jr. also has to lead the team to hit 3 major records.
Inzaghi Jr.'s Nerazzurri are first in Serie A with 46 points, while Inter have the best attack and second-best defence in Serie A (49 goals and 15 goals conceded). Facing Bologna, 10th in the league, Inter should not have much difficulty in winning. In their previous 149 meetings, Inter had the advantage of 73 wins, 35 draws and 41 defeats, while Bologna's 73 defeats against Inter were the second worst in team history, second only to 78 losses to Juventus.
Inter have won six of their last eight Serie A games against Bologna, with the latter winning two, with the last draw coming in September 2017. They have won three consecutive games against Inter in their last three matches, with big scores of 3-1, 6-1. It is worth noting that Bologna have not won in their last 15 home games against Inter, drawing 3 and losing 12, and conceding goals on the field. The last time Inter kept a clean sheet was in August 2010, when the two teams made it 0-0.
Inter hit 3 major records
In this game, Inzaghi Jr. not only has to lead the team to fight for 3 points, but also to hit the 3 major records. First, Inter attacked Serie A for six consecutive wins without conceding a goal. The Nerazzurri have an even better record in Serie A: from January to March 1971, Inter won seven consecutive matches with clean sheets. Second, Inter hit the record for the highest number of points in the 20th round, after Inter had more than 45 points in two points at the end of the half, and the Nerazzurri were all drawn in the 20th round. Third, Bologna went unbeaten in 16 consecutive games and scored 16 consecutive goals.
At present, Inter Milan have a certain point advantage in Serie A, but inzaghi Jr. cannot relax because of this. AC Milan, Napoli and Atalanta are behind Inter, but the three teams are not far from the Nerazzurri. AC Milan in particular, after the Champions League is out, Pioli's side will focus all their energy on Serie A. In contrast, Inter, the Nerazzurri met Chelsea in the Champions League, and these 2 games will inevitably bring great loss to the team.
It can be seen that the pressure on the head of inzaghi Jr. is not small, and this season is only halfway through. Of course, Inter have always shown amazing resilience, and even after Lukaku left, Inter remained at a very high level. For the sake of honor, for the sake of the Champions League, I believe inter will persist to the end. In the first game of 2022, Inter made a good start.
