Inter Milan Wins Without Superstars or Breakthroughs: What's Their Secret? Inter Milan secured a remarkable 3-0 victory away against Cagliari, concluding their year with an impressive performance. The win on Sardinia was not without its challenges; the Nerazzurri struggled to break the deadlock in the first half, only managing to do so after the break through a goal from Bastoni. This decisive moment occurred in the 53rd minute, once again highlighting the crucial "golden 15 minutes" where Inzaghi's team has scored a total of 12 goals between the 45th and 60th minutes of matches, significantly outperforming other Serie A teams. Given the squad's older average age, Inter Milan has only managed to score 7 goals in the final 15 minutes of games, necessitating a quick resolution to matches. The 15 minutes following halftime become particularly critical. In the cerebral world of Italian football management, effectively utilizing the 15-minute halftime break for adjustments is a key measure of a coach's abilities, and Inzaghi has undoubtedly excelled in this area. Beyond pressing and increasing tempo, Inter Milan consistently exploits vulnerabilities in the opposition's defense to deliver decisive blows, often breaking the stalemate through set-piece opportunities. Teams like Torino, Roma, and Juventus have all felt the impact of this strategy, and now Cagliari can relate to their experience. Lacking absolute superstars and explosive speedsters, Inter Milan's offense relies entirely on precise passing and organization. Since last season, the team's passing and control network has become increasingly rigorous, with well-designed third and fourth players often making early runs to support the primary passers and…

In the home of Serie A giants Juventus, a highly anticipated Coppa Italia match is about to kick off. This season's inconsistent Juventus will face Cagliari, who are ranked third from the bottom. This match is significant for both teams. Last week, Juventus' home game against Venezia was full of ups and downs. Gatti's goal gave fans hope, but they were quickly followed by two goals from Venezia. It looked like a loss until Vlahovic scored a penalty in stoppage time to secure a 2-2 draw. This match not only exposed defensive issues but also raised concerns about Vlahovic's post-match conflict with fans. One netizen commented: Honestly, Juventus now seems like a giant plagued by an injury curse. The absence of key players like Bremer, Kehrer, and Nico Gonzalez has significantly reduced the team's overall strength. Adding to this is the tension between Vlahovic and the fans, making the team feel like a pot of boiling water that could overflow at any moment. But it is precisely this adversity that truly tests a team's resilience. Juventus' performance this season has indeed been heart-wrenching, with ten draws leaving them sixth in the league, nine points behind Atalanta. However, their 2-0 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League last week showed the potential of this venerable club. Another netizen said: Cagliari is currently like a swimmer struggling in the deep sea; their ranking third from the bottom in the league speaks volumes. Although they managed a surprising draw with Juventus in the first leg this season, it seems more like a…
