? Inter always out, worst in Serie A ⚠️ Who's to blame and why ?

There is a club in this Serie A that struggles more than any other when they concede a goal. More than that, because this team doesn’t even recover a single point if they fall behind. We’re not talking about Pisa, Lecce, or Verona, but about the team that, according to the most widespread opinion, is the big favorite for the Scudetto: Inter.

The Nerazzurri, in fact, together with Sassuolo, are the only ones who have not yet recovered even a single point from a losing position. Lautaro and his teammates have found themselves chasing four times and have always ended up losing. It happened against Udinese, then against Juve, and finally against Napoli and Milan.

This is a statistic that gives pause for thought and cannot be left to chance. So, what are the reasons behind a statistic that sees Inter at the bottom of the table?

? Inside the Numbers

The story is always the same: the Nerazzurri don’t have players who can beat their man and thus create a numerical advantage. It may seem like a detail, but it’s not. For months this summer, Lookman was pursued—the player the management had chosen to address this lack. Too bad that the Dea was in the way and never opened up to selling the Nigerian, forcing Inter to fall back on a plan B, which, however, had not been planned for. The result? No new signings, at least not of that type.

The difficulty in breaking through was evident again last night, after Pulisic’s goal. Inter took control of the Rossoneri’s half, pinning Milan back in their own area but, in reality, without creating any real danger. Apart from the missed penalty by Çalhanoglu—awarded for a senseless challenge by Pavlovic—it was a succession of passes around the edge of the box, from left to right and back again.

And then, as happened in the derby, if Dumfries is absent, Inter only play on the left and—therefore—become even more predictable.

The €50 million spent on Luis Henrique and Diouf (the latter, to be fair, made a good entrance in the derby) still cries out for revenge, especially when thinking about how that money could have been invested differently. While waiting to see if January will bring any help, Chivu would do well to find a solution to a problem that Inter has been carrying since the start of the year.
