Juventus, Inter Milan, and AC Milan are collectively known as the "Northern Three Giants" of Serie A. Juventus is the absolute hegemon of Serie A, while AC Milan carries the flag for Serie A in the Champions League. For a long time, Inter Milan has been in an awkward position. If it weren't for the "Telephone Gate" scandal during the 2006 World Cup, Inter Milan would likely have fewer Serie A championship trophies than AC Milan, and it's even possible that their history of no Serie A titles since 1989 would still be ongoing. Inter Milan should thank Mourinho, as it was he who truly brought Inter Milan to the heights of a world-class team. How do you prove you're strong? Only championship trophies can prove it. In the 2009-10 season, Mourinho led Inter Milan to win the Serie A, Coppa Italia, and Champions League "Treble," an achievement that neither Juventus nor AC Milan have accomplished. Beyond the Northern Three Giants, the rest of the teams have a significant gap. These teams also produce stars, but they are usually poached by the Northern Three Giants or other top clubs in the five major leagues once they show potential. As long as the offer is tempting enough, they will let them go. Take Atalanta, for example, which has produced famous players like Caniggia, Inzaghi, and Vieri. But as soon as big clubs make an offer, they sell them. How can they compete with the Northern Three Giants? To this day, they have not won a Serie A league title, and it…

For Chelsea, due to only achieving 1 draw and 2 losses in consecutive league matches, their situation on the league standings has taken a sharp turn for the worse, from once being just 2 points away from the top to currently having a 10-point gap. At least from the current state and performance, Maresca's team cannot yet be considered a strong contender for the championship. However, considering their outstanding squad depth, if they can complete some key signings during this transfer window, there is still hope to truly enter the championship race. Two "culprits" are about to leave In the past few games, Chelsea's defensive performance has been poor, although the number of goals conceded is not too high. What is unacceptable for the Blues' supporters is that they repeatedly concede goals with various low-level mistakes. This defensive performance is an important reason for their continuous defeats in the league. Among them, Disasi is a typical representative of poor performance. One and a half seasons ago, this French central defender made the team pay a transfer fee of 45 million euros, but he has never performed at a level that matches a top club. This season, Disasi has not had many opportunities, and so far this season, he has only played 5 times in the league, with a total playing time of only 351 minutes. Whether it is in his main position as a central defender or as a makeshift right-back, Disasi's performance has been very disappointing. Especially during the team's recent poor form, Disasi can be called the "culprit."…

The Bundesliga and La Liga are currently in their winter break, while the Premier League has just completed its Christmas Day schedule. On the Serie A side, the Italian Super Cup was held this week. The Super Cup consists of two semi-finals and one final, with the first semi-final taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on the early morning of January 3rd, Beijing time, featuring a match between Inter Milan and Atalanta. This year's Italian Super Cup follows the same rules and procedures as last year, including two single-elimination semi-finals, with the final scheduled for January 6th. This will be the first encounter between the two teams in the history of the Super Cup. In 127 Serie A encounters, Inter Milan leads with 69 wins, 34 draws, and 24 losses. Historically, the Nerazzurri have won the Italian Super Cup four times abroad, including the 2009/10 season, the 2010/11 season in Beijing, and the recent two years in Riyadh. These two teams can be considered the most outstanding in Serie A this season. As the defending Serie A champions, Inter Milan has only lost two games in domestic and international competitions, with fewer losses than any other team in the top five leagues except Liverpool. On the Serie A leaderboard, Inter Milan is only one point behind Atalanta with one less game played. In the past four games, Inter Milan has achieved four consecutive victories without conceding a single goal. Moreover, in 2024, Inter Milan participated in a total of 37 Serie A matches, with a record of 27 wins, 8…

According to the Italian newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport", Real Madrid is increasingly inclined to accept an offer and sell young player Nico Paz to Inter Milan. This decision is based on the team's personnel structure and the player's personal preferences, with a surprising price tag of 25 million euros. This season, Argentine youngster Nico Paz was sold by Real Madrid to Serie A promoted team Como for a low price of 6 million euros. After transferring to Serie A, Paz performed outstandingly, scoring 2 goals and assisting 3 times in 16 games, becoming the core of the team's tactics. Thanks to his excellent performance, Como successfully occupied the mid-table position in Serie A with hopes of relegation. Paz himself also made it into the Argentine national team and received playing opportunities. It is worth mentioning that in the limited time he played for the national team, Paz managed to get 1 assist, and the recipient of the assist was none other than the legendary football king, Messi, helping him complete a hat-trick. After the game, Messi highly praised this young brother, believing that he has the potential to support the future of Argentina. It is precisely because of such outstanding performances on the field that Paz has gained the favor of Serie A giants Inter Milan. The team's general manager Ausilio and vice-chairman Zanetti were sent to watch Paz's matches on site, listing him as an important transfer target. However, for Inter Milan, the real obstacle to acquiring Paz comes from Real Madrid. Although his ownership has already reached…

At the beginning of 2025, let's talk about a grudge match filled with gunpowder in the Serie A arena. The protagonists of this grudge are Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi and Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The "century" confrontation between the two famous coaches, is it a tactical competition or a continuation of personal grievances? The Italian Super Cup semi-finals have attracted the attention of more than 180 broadcasting agencies worldwide. Before the game, the Italian media reported extensively on the story behind the game: Inzaghi and Gasperini have had a long-standing feud, their conflicts far exceeding ordinary tactical debates and verbal exchanges, evolving into a series of jaw-dropping events. Gasperini's dislike for Inter Milan is well-known, which stems from his short stint coaching Inter in 2011. After only coaching five games, he was sacked, leaving him with a deep shadow and becoming one of the reasons why he gets particularly excited every time he faces Inter in the future. But a deeper reason may lie in the unresolved grievances between him and Inzaghi. "The curtain of passion": the prelude to the grudge In 2017, Lazio coached by Inzaghi defeated Atalanta coached by Gasperini 2:1. During the game, both Inzaghi and Gasperini were sent off with red cards, and after the game, they even engaged in a fierce exchange of words, with a strong sense of gunpowder. Gasperini accused the referee of favoring Inzaghi, while Inzaghi retorted that Lazio had the advantage in the game, thus starting their war of words. "The missing video": the escalation of the conflict In…

Recently, "Sky Sports Italy" has compiled a list of the top 18 teams with the fewest goals conceded in Europe's top five leagues in 2024. Arsenal from the Premier League ranked first with only 25 goals conceded in 36 games, while Inter Milan, the reigning Serie A champions, ranked second with 29 goals conceded in 37 games. Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, and Paris Saint-Germain all tied for third with 33 goals conceded over the past year. As one of the teams with the second-fewest goals conceded in Europe's top five leagues last year, Inter Milan's defense is indeed reliable. The 36-year-old Archarbi is getting better with age, the 33-year-old De Vrij had the highest defensive success rate in the world last year, the 28-year-old Pavard is in his prime, the 27-year-old Bastoni is one of the top center-backs in today's football, the 24-year-old Bisek has made great strides on the field, and the versatile defender Damian is still trustworthy. Additionally, there is the 21-year-old young talent Palacios. The current defensive line of Inter Milan is undoubtedly one of the top levels in today's football. Although they boast one of the best defenses in today's football, the Nerazzurri face several hidden dangers with their backline, primarily the renewal issues with the two veterans known as the "Xuanming Elders." The 36-year-old Archarbi and the 33-year-old De Vrij will see their contracts with Inter expire this summer, and no substantive renewal negotiations have taken place between them so far. If Inter were to lose both Archarbi and De Vrij this summer, it would…

Here is the translation of the article content into English: The year 2025 has arrived, and we look forward to Inter Milan continuing to bring joy to their fans. Attention Premier League big spenders, Inter Milan is willing to sell their substitute ace, Francesco Forte, for a price of 45 million euros. According to Italian media RadioRadio, Forte is dissatisfied with his current situation and hopes to get more playing opportunities. Inter Milan is willing to sell Forte, valuing him at 45 million euros. In the past four Serie A league matches, Inter Milan scored 3-1, 6-0, 2-0, and 3-0, respectively. Forte sat on the bench twice, came on late once, and only played for 10 minutes in another match. In the game where Inter Milan lost 0-1 to Bayer Leverkusen, Forte played for 66 minutes but performed unsatisfactorily. Forte's transfer initially faced some skepticism from Inter Milan fans, with some saying he was overpriced and just a younger version of Matias Vecino. Inter Milan spent 24 million euros to buy Vecino from Fiorentina, who eventually left as a free agent. Vecino played 127 times for Inter Milan, scoring 13 goals and providing 7 assists, but his tendency to make forward runs wasn't particularly favored by coach Simone Inzaghi. Forte shares some similarities with Vecino. In the 2022-2023 season, he played 37 times for Sassuolo, scoring 7 goals with no assists, and his passing and defensive abilities were average. Marotta has a good relationship with the Sassuolo management, and Inter Milan sent youth forward Andrea Murgia to Sassuolo in exchange…

Recently, Inter Milan's defensive line has welcomed a new highlight - Biscuit. Honestly, this kid is not simple, and his performance is amazing. At the beginning of the season, his performance caught people's attention, especially during Pavar's absence due to injury, he stepped up to replace Pavar's position, which was really impressive. This also makes people start to think, will Biscuit's position be squeezed out after Pavar returns? We need to look at Biscuit's growth experience. This young man joined Inter last summer, and at first, everyone didn't have too high expectations for him, after all, he is a young player. Who would have thought that as the season progressed, he gradually integrated into Inter's tactical system and became more and more mature. You see, because Pavar was injured twice last year and this year, Biscuit got many opportunities, and he did not waste these opportunities. Especially this season, Biscuit can perform freely in multiple positions such as right-back and central defender, with basically no major issues. Looking back at Pavar, he only transferred from Bayern to Inter last year, just preparing to show his skills, but injuries kept coming to him, which made his starting position somewhat precarious. Biscuit is not an ordinary person. This young man's performance on the defensive line has gradually stabilized, playing more and more like a veteran. If you say that Biscuit's position will be replaced after Pavar returns, it's estimated that you have to ask Inter coach Inzaghi. Honestly, Inzaghi must be having a headache now. The competition on the team's defensive line…

One Day Serie A News: Milan's New Coach Is Strict, What About the Double Olympics? Inter Milan Enters Championship Mode 1 - Conceicao Praised for His Strictness Former Porto player Fernando Nelson Alves spoke to Sportitalia about Milan's new coach, Conceicao. How do you view Conceicao becoming Milan's new coach?‌ I believe his arrival will be positive for the Milan club. It was Conceicao who helped Porto continue to compete for the championship in recent years, despite the team's lineup being weaker than in previous years under his leadership. Are there some issues in Milan that seem to be related to discipline, would Conceicao be the right person to restore the team's discipline?‌ Without a doubt. For him, the desire to fight, the spirit of sacrifice, rigor, and discipline are essential qualities. He demands these qualities from his players; he is a demanding coach. If they don't respect him, then Leao and Theo are likely to be sold. 2 - Tomori Approves of Milan's New Coach According to Di Marzio, Tomori may regain space under new coach Conceicao. There were previous reports that Milan might sell Tomori, who was set to lose his place under Fonseca's plan, to Juventus. However, with Fonseca's departure, the situation has changed. It is reported that Milan has chosen to hire Conceicao as Fonseca's successor to coach the team, and Tomori may regain space (fair competition with other teammates, or even become a starter) under Conceicao. With the change of coach, Tomori may stay at Milan. However, before making any decisions, Conceicao hopes to personally…

"Football is a sport that evokes both love and hate. We love the passion and excitement it brings on the field, but we also hate the occasional upsets and surprises that leave us scratching our heads, exclaiming 'I can't understand it.' However, this doesn't diminish our love for the game, after all, 'life is like a football match; you never know what will happen next.' In the Serie A arena, Inter Milan and Atalanta are engaged in a fierce competition, truly a 'battle between dragons and tigers,' with neither side willing to give way. Inter Milan has been in strong form, with a resounding 3-0 victory that has sent fans into a frenzy. Bastoni's header from behind was simply 'out of this world,' leaving spectators in awe. Lautaro has finally broken his eight-game goal drought, vindicating himself. As for Calhanoglu, he makes penalties look easy, as stable as a mountain. On the other side, although Atalanta's record of 11 consecutive victories was ended by Lazio, they are still 'a dead camel bigger than a horse.' In the first half, Bashiru's solo goal was 'the final blow,' causing Lazio fans to cheer. Unfortunately, good times don't last long. Bresciani's 'final blow' in the 88th minute sent Atalanta fans from heaven to hell. Football really is 'anything can happen,' and you never know who the winner will be until the very end. However, this doesn't affect our affection for these two teams. After all, 'victory and defeat are common in war,' and what's important is their fighting spirit on the field and…
