Simone Inzaghi has landed in a blizzard, there is a glaring problem at home inter that penalizes the team
Inter, Inzaghi nella bufera: c’è un problema evidente che penalizza i nerazzurri – SerieAnews
Inter also fell against Juventus. A stinging defeat, both in terms of the knockout itself against a bitter rival and in terms of the standings. The Nerazzurri, in fact, did not take advantage of the slowdown of the leading Napoli, held back by Lazio and at its third consecutive draw.
A win would have allowed the Nerazzurri to climb to the top of the standings and instead Inter even saw the margin widen from the men coached by Antonio Conte, now by two lengths. Nothing striking, of course, not least because the Nerazzurri are in the wake of the partenopei and next March 2 is the direct clash at the Maradona.
In short, the Scudetto fight is really wide open, but Inter does not appear to be in a good moment of form., Second defeat in the last three days for the Nerazzurri, who have collected the pittance of four points in the last four days. Not exactly a Scudetto performance, an unmistakable sign of how fatigue is starting to make itself felt in the players.
Inter, che guaio: dopo la Juve è evidente
Inter’s performance this season is worrying in no small part in terms of an aspect that can also become decisive in the Scudetto race. We refer to the points won in direct clashes and the performance of the Nerazzurri in these competitions.

Last season’s Inter, the crushing team that dominated far and wide in Serie A, had not lost any direct clashes, quite the contrary. They had been the strength of the Nerazzurri lineup. And instead this season the trend has reversed: third defeat in nine matches against the formations occupying the top six positions in the standings.
Out of nine matches played against Napoli, Atalanta, Lazio, Juventus, Milan and Fiorentina, Inter has won on just three occasions: the 4-0 win at Atalanta at the beginning of the season, the 6-0 thrashing of Lazio on the road and the 2-1 win over Fiorentina last week, four days after the 0-3 loss to the Viola in the rescheduled match suspended last Dec. 1.
Three, however, were the draws against Juventus, Napoli and Milan for a total of 12 points and an average of 1.33 per match. Very little to even imagine winning the Scudetto. And it has never happened to Inter to win the title without beating Juventus or Milan at least once in the season, an event that did not happen this year.

The average, however, can be improved: in fact, Inter still lacks the return matches against Napoli, Atalanta and Lazio with only Lazio coming to the San Siro. The comparison with last season, however, is decidedly merciless for the Nerazzurri. Nine wins and three draws for Inter in 2023/2024 if we look at the six teams in the first seven (against Roma and Lazio at the Olimpico and in Bergamo against Atalanta) for a total of 30 points in 12 matches and a crazy average of 2.5 points per match.
Numbers that will be impossible to even approach even in the event of a triple victory in the last direct clashes still scheduled. And at the Maradona, the challenge against Napoli already has the flavor of the last resort, especially in terms of the Scudetto. A match not to be missed that comes between the Coppa Italia challenge against Lazio and the Champions League one.
