Under the leadership of Inzaghi and Lautaro, Inter Milan can only aim for the Serie A title!
Tomorrow morning at 04:00, Inter Milan will usher in the 25th round of Serie A, home against Salernitana, this is the best time for Inter Milan to completely get rid of Juventus and AC Milan, the two competitors, the reason is very simple, Salernitana not only sits firmly in the position of vice leader in Serie A, but also has not improved in the slightest recently, in the last month or so, 7 games, Salernitana only drew one game, and the rest of the games were all lost!
After losing at home to relegation rival Empoli on February 10, Salernitana's coach Inzaghi was officially announced to be dismissed, and the experienced Riverani took office, which is Salernitana's most advantageous place in this game, in order to prove themselves to the new coach, Salernitana's players will inevitably burst out with a stronger desire to win.
Inter Milan is deservedly the strongest in Serie A
At present, Inter Milan has 19 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss with 19 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, and ranks first in the league with 60 league points, while Juventus, which is closest to Inter, has a 7-point gap with Inter Milan in one more round, and Juventus has 1 draw and 2 losses in the last three rounds of Serie A, which has almost completely buried the possibility of the team competing for the championship.
In fact, from last season's Inter Milan reached the Champions League final, and still performed well in the final against Manchester City, we already know that Inter Milan is the strongest team in Serie A in the past two or three years, but last season, Inter Milan did lack some stability because of the replacement of the lineup.
But this season is different, Lautaro Martinez is stronger, Simeone Inzaghi knows the team better, Inter Milan has improved quite significantly, it is a team that is very united.
Lautaro is at the peak of his career
Lautaro Martinez has been in excellent form this season, scoring 22 goals in 30 appearances for Inter Milan, compared to the peak of 28 goals in 57 appearances last season, I believe he can score at least 30 goals this season, and more importantly, Lautaro Martinez looks set to win his first Golden Boot in Serie A, as he has scored 19 goals in 21 Serie A appearances, which is close to the efficiency of one goal per game that other Serie A goalscorers can hardly match.
And Lautaro Martinez is only two goals away from his own goal record in Serie A, and he will inevitably surpass his former self and become the new symbol of Inter Milan: Lautaro Martinez is currently tied for 8th place in Inter's scorer list, and if he completes the contract extension with Inter and maintains the current goal rhythm, he can at least reach the level of the top three goalscorers in Inter's history!
In terms of appearance statistics, Lautaro Martinez is also becoming the absolute core of Inter, in the past five seasons, Lautaro Martinez's average playing time in Serie A has been the 20/21 season, he has played an average of 76 minutes per game, and this season, his average playing time has reached 84 minutes!
Simeone Inzaghi has put more trust in Lautaro
Inter Milan have always maintained a relatively young central axis in recent years, plus some experienced veterans, this model has really made Inter better, at least at this stage, no team in Serie A is stronger and more stable than Inter.
In the first half of the past season, we have seen Inter Milan thrash Fiorentina 4-0 against Fiorentina, who were so good at the start of the season, Inter Milan beat city rivals AC Milan 5-1, and Inter Milan beat defending Serie A champions Napoli 3-0 away, with only a handful of teams able to take advantage of Inter Milan before and after the Champions League group stage.
This is also the author's opinion, and Inter is not without challenges: after the match between Inter and Salernitana tomorrow night, the Champions League in midweek will soon arrive, Inter Milan will play Atletico Madrid, the two teams have the same fighting style and are also very good at defending, and Inter will need to spend a lot of energy to deal with it.
Inter's fixtures for the last month
From February 17th to March 18th, in these 30 days, Inter Milan needs to play 8 games, which is really fortunate that Inter Milan has already been out of the Italian Cup, because although Inter is the strongest on paper, but if some of the core players are not present, Inter's strength will indeed be reduced, and in the case of playing a game every 3 days, Inzaghi Jr. really has to work hard for the lineup.
As for tomorrow's game against Salernitana, as long as the Inter players remain patient and play this game seriously, the author believes that Inter should have sealed the win early and could make substitutions for the Champions League in midweek.
To say that many Inter fans don't like to hear, compared with the illusory Champions League, the Serie A championship is undoubtedly a closer and easier goal for Inter Milan to achieve, so the author believes that Inter Milan needs to ensure the advantages of the league while taking into account the Champions League!
