With the victory in Parma, the Nerazzurri move to more than 6 against Milan and begin to glimpse a piece of the tricolor
I numbers they won’t be everything but sometimes they are worth a thousand words: 59 points in 25 days (in the year of Triplet of Mourinho were 55), from Atalanta-Inter last November 8 (18 matches, a whole group), theInter he put together 47 and, in the last 4 days, he took 8 points on Milan which is now second at 6 lengths. With all the inevitable conjurations of the case, Conte, after the victory in Parma, sees the final goal ever closer.

Two fundamental aspects emerged from the Tardini away match. First of all, the ability to stay in the game even when the opponents are much more difficult to face than expected. Then the cynicism in knowing how to take home three points even in “dirty” games. A quality, the latter, which has always characterized the teams that have won the Italian title. The rest is done by the organization of the game, the possibility of resorting to a score sent by heart and which, compared to the past, also knows a whole series of variations that allow the Nerazzurri to be able to interpret the phases of the game in a different way.
The ability, for example, to alternate pressing or to implement different movements in the construction of the game. In Parma, Inter left the two strikers to take care of the opposing central defenders, with Brozovic called to “get up” to fetch Brugman and with the two mezzeali who had the task of the long climb to close on the low flanks. In the positional defense phase, on the other hand, Hakimi and Perisic came in line with the three central players building a 5-3-2 difficult to overcome. Despite this, however, Parma managed to create some discomfort in the first half, even if the Nerazzurri were able to build good opportunities to take the lead.
In the offensive phase, when the hosts were already lined up, Inter took advantage of the advances of Skriniar and Bastoni which allowed Hakimi and Perisic to place themselves, in an external position, practically in line with the Lukaku-Sanchez duo. In the low building, then, in some cases, the interior was also lowered, Barella on the right and Eriksen on the other side, to allow a further external vent at the first setting. A whole series of variants, in short, to escape the tight meshes of the opponents. In other cases, when there is space, there is always the solution of the ball vertically for the side, or the personal action, of Lukaku.
The organization, then, marries the value of a squad that can count on a high level bench, given that Darmian, Vidal and Lautaro Martinez joined the Tardini. There is enough to be optimistic, in short, also because in the 13 matches remaining at the end of the championship, Inter have only 4 clashes with the top 7 of the standings, starting with Atalanta next Monday at San Siro.
