Spalleti’s Inter are genuine title contenders

During the 2016-17 season of the Italian League Serie A, Inter Milan finished in the 7th spot in what was a very forgettable campaign. Whilst they remained one of the most watched teams onsocagol, fans were slowly being turned off by their stodgy performances, with the squad with the black and blue jerseys failing to make much of a mark in any competition as they struggled to add silverware to their collection.

This occurred when Stefano Pioli was at the helm of Inter Milan and not surprisingly, he was sacked after only 6 months.

Fast forward 10 months, and Inter are back topping the table as the most popular team to watch on direttastreamingcalciogratis.it in Serie A, with the change of coaches the obvious factor in their change in fortunes.

On June 9 of 2017, it was confirmed that Inter Milan had appointed Luciano Spalletti as the new head coach of the Italian outfit and so far, he has sparked life back to the club with a superb start of the 2017-18 season with a total of 9 wins and 2 draws out of the 11 opening league matches.

In a recent press conference, Luciano Spalletti went on to talk about the road that lies ahead for his squad as the 58 year old manager said:

“We can’t have doubts about the road to follow; we need to make steps forward in order to reach our objectives. We want to be more certain in ourselves. We can’t even let the comments made up about us affect us. We know our strengths and weaknesses well; when you want to stop asking me about the Scudetto, it means that we can really compete for that objective. We need to continue a step at a time; we know where we want to end up”

Inter Milan have not won the Serie A title since the season of 2009-2010 but it seems like they are getting back on track and becoming a genuine contender of becoming the new champions of Italy and Luciano Spalletti can be credited in a very large part for this revival.

Even though Luciano Spalletti has spent his entire managerial career at the helm of Italian clubs, he has never been able to win the Serie A title and it seems like this is his chance to make it happen. Whilst fans on livestream.services still back Juventus to win the title, the expectation is there that Inter will push them to the very end for the Championship.

Amongst the other names expected to be fighting it out in May, Napoli have made the best start to the season, with a record-breaking 10 match unbeaten run helping them to open up a clear gap between themselves and the rest of the field.

Inter fans will be pleased to see one Milan struggling, with AC Milan stuck in mid-table, even though they spent a small fortune over the summer on players such as Bonucci. Whilst undoubtedly the players will need a little longer to bed in, this transition period may well end up costing them a spot in europe next season, which will have a real impact on their transfer targets and activity.

Pioli Has Inter On Course For Champions League

Inter Milan were once the dominant force in Italian football, winning five Serie A crowns on the bounce under the management of Roberto Mancini and Jose Mourinho. Under the Portuguese they even conquered Europe, clinching the Champions League trophy for the third time in the history of the club.

Since the departure of Mourinho, the Nerazzurri have endured a dramatic decline – coinciding with the rise of Juventus to become the quality outfit of the country. Nine men have taken to the dugout in the San Siro in an attempt to guide the club back to the top, but eight have been cast aside due to their failures.

Pioli Has Inter On Course For Champions League

Since the departure of Mourinho, the Nerazzurri have endured a dramatic decline – coinciding with the rise of Juventus to become the quality outfit of the country. Nine men have taken to the dugout in the San Siro in an attempt to guide the club back to the top, but eight have been cast aside due to their failures.

In the current campaign, the Nerazzurri dispatched Frank de Boer following his side’s immense struggles in Serie A along with the Europa League – where they failed to qualify from the group stage.

The appointment of Stefano Pioli has reversed the fortunes of the club, who are now trending in the right direction in the table, although plenty of work remains for the Nerazzurri to regain their place in the Champions League for next term.

As a result of their recent resurgence, Inter are backed in the latest bet365 Serie A betting odds at 6/1 to qualify for Europe’s elite competition, ending their five-year exile.

After a successful tenure with Ajax in Eredivisie, there was excitement when De Boer was announced as Mancini’s replacement at the San Siro. The Italian’s second spell at the club had not been as fruitful as his first, culminating in his departure during the summer.

De Boer had won four titles with the famous Dutch club and was expected to bring resilience back to the Inter defence. However, his spell was anything but as the Nerazzurri struggled immensely in Serie A, starting with their opening-day defeat to Chievo.

Although wins were to come, defeats were not far round the corner dropping the team alarmingly down the table. The final straws came in a 1-0 loss to Sampdoria on the road and their premature exit from the Europa League, ending De Boer’s tenure after just three months.

Pioli had two decent years in Lazio, but their eight-place finish last term was deemed not satisfactory by the club, resulting in his sacking. Inter moved for him to replace De Boer and he has reversed the fortunes of the club.

In his 14 matches in Serie A, Inter have won 11 of the contests, losing only twice – which came on the road against Napoli and Juventus.

Given the quality of both of those outfits at home the defeats were not a huge surprise, but their previous form of seven wins on the bounce during December and January has kindled hope that the club can push for a place in the top three this term.

Pioli has only had a short time at the club, therefore his changes have not been sweeping. However, one area where Nerazzurri have shown significant improvement is their form at the back. Since the 51-year-old’s arrival, they’ve kept seven clean sheets in his 14 Serie A matches, including a shutout against his former side Lazio.

Juventus have made their defensive form the foundation of their recent dominance of Italian football and should this be a sign of things to come from Inter – I Bianconeri could have another challenger on their hands.

Inter will have a lot of attacking talent at their disposal, with Mauro Icardi having overcome his issues with the club’s supporters. His quality along with that of Antonio Candreva, Ivan Perisic and Joao Mario could be enough to fire Pioli’s men into the top three this term.

ZANETTI MOVING ON

Javier Zanetti has played over 600 matches for Inter Milan and even at his 40 years of age, rumors started popping around involving Jose Mourinho wanting to sign the veteran player and bring him to Chelsea but now after all of his years playing with the Italian club, he has been promised a role at Inter Milan even after he retires.

‘I am very happy, because I think that I will continue to be a part of Inter. I never had any doubts about that, as there has always been absolute clarity with the president. The most important thing is that this marriage will continue’. Zanetti told the club’s official website.

The 40 years old player of Inter Milan is expected to discuss his future with the club when the season ends.

‘Zanetti is a great player. I want him to focus on the season, and he agrees. There are only three months left, then after this season he can join the family’. The president of Inter Milan, Erick Thohir revealed.

Inter Milan was also being linked with Javier Hernandez and Fernando Torres as both of them are experiencing some hard times with their respective clubs and the Italian club led by Walter Mazzarri was believed to have taken an interest in them but Erick Thohir stepped up and denied having been in contact or being interested in signing either of them.

“Chicharito is a good player but we have not spoken neither with he nor with Torres. By the end of the season we will evaluate all the players and decide who stays and who does not. We are negotiating a contract extension with Palacio.” Thohir said.

The contracts of Esteban Cambiasso and Walter Samuel will expire at the end of the season and Walter Mazzari has a few players that he wants to add into the squad in summer.
