The statistics scare even the players: coach Simone Inzaghi has made Inter invincible

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Whatever happens: Inter is currently sweeping all opponents off the field. The Milan team played thirteen matches this calendar year. They all won. With a goal difference of 33:6. Now the test lies ahead in the Champions League. Yann Sommer (35) and Co. go into the second leg of the round of 16 against Atlético Madrid with a 1-0 lead.

“I scare myself when I look at the statistics,” says the Nati goalkeeper in the latest podcast episode of “Copa TS”. The architect of the success is Simone Inzaghi (47) – the brother of Pippo (50). The older of the two was much better known as a player, but that has changed in the coaching world. At Inter, Simone becomes one of the best coaches in the world.

Fans didn’t want him anymore

Almost exactly a year ago, Inzaghi’s time in Milan seemed to have come to an end. Between early March and mid-April 2023, there were seven scoreless games in a row. The tenor on social media was clear. Many fans called for the coach’s dismissal. #InzaghiOut was trending for X days.

But Inzaghi barely made it through the corner. And how! Since mid-April last year, the Nerazzurri have lost just three games in the space of 90 minutes. Against Napoli (1:3) in May, the Champions League final against Manchester City (0:1) and against Sassuolo (1:2) at the end of September.

Will you go to the CL final again?

Unlike much of last season, Inzaghi has vastly improved his team in all aspects. She scores a lot of goals in all competitions (84) and concedes hardly any goals (20) – Sommer has already kept a clean sheet 23 times.

The result: the 20th Scudetto in Serie A is within reach. And Inzaghi’s team is also a title candidate in the premier class. But there is still a long way to go to Wembley, where the final will take place. First Inter must also sweep Atlético Madrid off the field.
