How Inter will play in the 2023/2024 season and goals on the market – Corriere.it

There is no doubt: it will be a competitive Inter and the goal is the scudetto of the second star says the CEO. Beppe Marotta. We will do everything to win her over Simone Inzaghi. For the dust of other stars, those of the Champions League, still on Inter’s shoulders, left over from the night in Istanbul. And those sensations there, those nights there, are not quickly forgotten: I said it before the final – recalls Inzaghi – there is not all this distance with the big names in Europe, we are closing the gap: we know it is very difficult to reconfirm ourselves, but we have the hope and the will to do it.

Lautaro new captain of Inter? And about Lukaku…

Along this track, the season of the European vice-champions restarts today in Appiano, third in the last championship 18 points behind Napoli. The management’s message on the Scudetto loud and clear. How clear that Inter will be captain Lautaro (But I’ll talk about it first to the team that will comment on Inzaghi for you). And it should also be Romelu Lukaku’s Inter, to replenish the goal pair: He’s from another team, but we know what he represents for us and what he did in the final part of last season – explains Inzaghi -. I fought a lot together with the managers to bring him back here last year and we will try to do everything possible to succeed even now

Different Inter (and above all Italian)

Time is running out, as the Chelsea gave permission to Lukaku not to show up until the 17th: the negotiation for the centre-forward, with the meeting halfway between 40 million in demand and 30 in supply, crosses over with that for the transfer of Onana to United. And here too are key hours. With Frattesi, Thuram
and the defender Bisseck (official yesterday) A younger Inter is being born with the pride of having another player from Mancini’s national team adds Marotta, who has always insisted on the Italian-blue block. Handanovic’s farewell also arrived yesterday, after those of Dzeko, Brozovic, Skriniar, D’Ambrosio, Gagliardini, Cordaz: We have to fill in some boxes – underlines the coach -: two goalkeepers, a right central player, a midfielder, a striker. A slightly different Inter will emerge, perhaps less dribbling and more vertical, but with the same offensive soul, possibly with fewer goals from the back.

Inzaghi and an expiring contract

One of the certainties is Inzaghi himself, who starts the season with the contract expiring in June 2024: The club knows what I think, we talked about it: I’m serene and I’m thinking about the pitch. The fact that a coach had not started his third season on the Inter bench since the days of the first Mancini was significant: when the fact that Trap, Bersellini and Herrera won the scudetto in their third year is mentioned, some hands among the managers immediately touch wood, but for Inter and Inzaghi it would be the ideal, not to say natural, culmination of a story made so far of four trophies, a Champions League final and some misunderstanding in the moment of spring crisis.

Do you prefer the Scudetto or the Champions League?

also true that when faced with the trick question Is the Scudetto or another Champions League final better? Simone smiles a little embarrassed, her eyes light up, because he transforms himself and transforms Inter on those Champions League nights. Also for this reason the challenge of the Scudetto – of concentration and performance for 38 games – is fundamental, because Inzaghi must perhaps make the definitive leap in quality from this point of view, even if ESPN has already included him among the top 10 coaches in the world . In this sense, defining the start of the championship as soft enough, considering that the first two games are against Monza and Fiorentina, two teams that won at the San Siro in April, is brave enough. But perhaps this self-esteem, a legacy of the Champions League ride, is the added value for the Scudetto.
