For Inzaghi Jr. and his Inter Milan, after entering the middle and late stages of the season, they have entered a "low period", and the situation in all competitions is not ideal. They have won just 1 of their last 5 league and Champions League matches and only 2 draws and 2 defeats in the other 4 games. In the league table, they lost the top position, although there is an advantage of one game less, but if they can not quickly adjust to the state, then the competitive pressure in the final stages of the league will be very large. In the Champions League, they suffered a complete defeat in the first leg, and considering the gap in strength with their opponents, Inter has little hope of advancing to the next stage.
Fortunately, from the perspective of schedule, Inter's opponents in the next 4 rounds of the league are relatively average. Of the four opponents, the highest-ranked team is only in tenth place, the other three opponents are outside the top ten, and even 2 teams are in the relegation zone. Such a schedule will undoubtedly give Inzaghi Jr. and his players a breathing space, and if they can regain their form in these games, they will still be the strongest contenders for the league title this season. However, Inter need to pay attention to the fact that there are Champions League and Coppa Italia matches interspersed in this schedule, and they need to complete 6 games in 21 days, with an average of one match every 3.5 days. Given the situation in the league and the fact that there are many veteran players in the team, Inzaghi Jr. may need to decisively abandon the Champions League to ensure the team's competitiveness in other competitions.
In addition to the need for more intelligence on the field, Inter also need to speed up the pace of the renewal of the team's staff and players. In terms of the renewal of the team's management, Inter has finalized the renewal of Marotta, Osirio and others, which is very important for the operation of the team. Especially in the transfer market, Marotta has proven him to be the best master of transfer operations in European football. Whether it is judging the potential and ability of the players, or in terms of the communication of transfer fees and the skills of transfer negotiations, he has a very high professional standard. Therefore, for Inter Milan, the finalization of the renewal of the above staff will be decisive for the team to successfully carry out the season's reinforcement work and the renewal of the team's players.
In terms of player contract renewals, in inter's main squad, the renewal of Brozovic and Perisic is a top priority for the team. Judging from the current situation, Brozovic's contract extension has basically been finalized. According to transfer expert Romano, Inter and Brozovic have reached an agreement on their personal treatment, and the reason why the two sides have not officially signed a contract extension is only because some details such as the broker's commission have not yet fully agreed, but there is only time left for the two sides to finally complete the renewal. This season, Brozovic has performed well, averaging 7.09 points per game in the league, the only five players in the team to average more than 7 points per game. In addition to Brozovic's basic certainty that he will stay in the team, Perisic's contract extension has also made gratifying progress. It is reported that after Inter Milan offered an annual salary of 4.5 million euros to renew his contract, the left wing-back is very close to reaching an agreement with Inter.
In addition, veteran Dzeko showed signs of decline in competitive form after entering the middle of the league. Although from the statistical point of view, he has scored 3 goals in the past 5 games, and is still the most efficient player in the team, but from the perspective of on-field performance, Zheko's strategy and fulcrum role have declined, and his physical condition has been difficult to support the whole game. In this case, Dzeko, whose contract has more than a year left to expire, is almost unlikely to continue to get the team's contract extension. Lautaro Martinez, who is also in less favourable form as his forward partner, has not scored in 10 consecutive games in all competitions. In terms of specific performances, although Lautaro Martinez is very diligent on the field and the defensive pressing in the front is quite in place, as a shooter, Lautaro Martinez has not done a good job in seizing opportunities, and this season in 21 scoring opportunities, he has only grasped 8 of them, with a success rate of only 38%.
In this case, Inter seems to have the idea of "sweeping Lautaro out of the house". According to The Milan Sport, Inter hope to sell the star at the end of the season and use the transfer funds obtained to bring in reinforcements. In terms of reinforcement targets in the front line, in addition to Skamaka, which the team has been watching, in the case of Lautaro Martinez's departure, the team also needs to sign a top-level goalscorer. Marotta has set his sights on Lille striker Jonathan David, hoping to sign him at the end of the season. The €50 million striker has scored 25 goals in all competitions this season.
