Lautaro Javier Martinez :heart:

If i'm not wrong Esposito won the penalty.

 

[ForzaNerazzurro]

Vecino eh?

Hopefully is because he hasn’t had a chance to start yet

tbh im not wondering if Vecino will start some games instead Barella Barella had a bad pre season, maybe he needs time. And like every year fucking Vecino makes it in the starting 11, it's destiny man, this guy will never be a bench player

I don't think Vecino is a bad pick in a 3-man midfield. Most of my issues with him I feel were down to us playing a very weak 2-man midfield where his wandering just screws us over.

Looks like Conte thinks like me, or vice verse.

Or we both think like Mazzarri.

Whatever it is, geniuses think alike, and forza Vecino per sempre.

Interesting to see Esposito taking corners consistently, although I prefer Sensi of course.

I’m more excited about Sensi for this season than Lukaku and Barella tbh.

Oh we are not allowed to think this, experts said it’s preseason so we are not allowed to be excited.

I have said this countless times in the whatsapp group, Vecino to bench Barella. Ya'll gonna cry but the dude is reliable tactically and he can fucking run, run, run and score, score, score.

Sensi looked great. Lautaro missed the goal a few times, hopefully he gets into it before the season starts.

 

[dax21]

Are we going to ignore those awful misses by Lautaro? Goddamn that was terrible to watch.
On the other hand, Sensi is really making me feel confident that we are finally going to be lethal from set pieces again, that was a great FK attempt.

 

[ForzaNerazzurro]

Lots of misses this match but it's not like Lautaro can't shoot, we already know what he's capable of. I wouldn't put too much thought into this from a one-off match.

Either way I'm excited for this season and I think the Lautaro - Lukaku partnership is going to be successful.

That partnership HAS TO be succesful otherwise we're screwed.

To be honest, that might be good for Barella. Takes a lot of pressure off his shoulders.

 

[n4l]

He cost almost 50M. For sure, the only thing that'll take pressure off his shoulders is playing top class football consistently.

As the start of the season fast approaches, I have been thinking about my Inter and trying to understand our prospects and what might happen this season. I start this post by readily admitting that I have an issue with change. It makes me feel uncomfortable and unsettled. For the last few months, I have been grappling with what has been happening at Inter and there are times during the summer when I have felt overwhelmed. Admittedly, I am grappling with a whole host of thoughts and feelings that I cannot describe other than to say that this Inter does not feel like my team.

I feel like I am caught in a tug-of-war. I know that what we achieved last season was not enough and that I wanted things to change for the better. On the other hand, I did not expect things to change so much in terms of our coach, formation, attitude at the club, the attitude of management and the changes in playing personnel.

I felt that we could not continue with the dysfunction caused by Icardi being at the club and wanted Inter to bring in someone new but at the same time, I am struggling to move on from Icardi and cannot not bring myself to embrace or love Lukaku. I wanted a player that was as prolific as Icardi but realise that Lukaku is a different player and although he may not be as clinical as Icardi, he will contribute to the team by hustling, fighting, and playing from the front. I think about the money spent on Barella and I am not convinced and feel conflicted: is he going to contribute and show his promise or is he just going to make up the numbers? I think about the possibility of Sanchez coming to Inter from Manchester United and I feel conflicted: eight years too late and a player that for whatever reason has failed to convince since moving to Manchester. In one way, I feel that we are a dumping ground for under performing, over hyped and overpaid players and question the wisdom of transfers like Lukaku and possibly Sanchez.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I feel very conflicted and unsettled. I have felt like this since Conte was first appointed. I thought the feeling might dissipate with time but it has not and I am posting my thoughts as I am wondering if anyone else is feeling the same way. It may be the case that this feeling will pass when I see us in action and can point to something definitive in terms of the way the team is playing. But right now, it feels like I have no point of reference or comparison other than meaningless friendlies and whole lot of unsettling and dramatic change that makes me anxious.

To be honest, this is very usual. Lot of money will make me feel comfortable, sure. But we also try to find a 'space', a social 'asylum', a habitable 'world' wherein our minds rests. People invented all sort of words for this space (i.e. traditions, oecumene, episteme...). The 'Inter' that we have known for decades is fragmented into symbols (hardship, honesty, pure football, not so much a business, etc) - a Western utmost normative project. I believe not just you but many are still living in this 'world' filled with fragmented symbols and gradually take onto ourself the notion of 'crisis'. If I want to write a book about Inter, the title would go something like this: Inter, the last utopia in modern era lol. In the moment of 'crisis', all the 'fragments' lost their senses and meaning and at the same time, we are not ready to embrace the new. But it would be important to note that it was not something that disapear in reality, it is some of us became blind because our 'social asymlum' is no longer there. Its all in the mind and new 'social asylum' will emerge (discursively and so unconsicously).

Sorry for some shit philosophical stuff. Reading something a bit hectic this morning

What worried me with all this big changes within Inter is Conte. He has a good record of transforming underperformed team to punch above its weight, and i think Inter need that. But as Conte also kind of short term coach, this also worried me in the future, as i don't want to have another big changes. Worst is Conte failed and we go for another big changes in 2 years time.

in terms of players that we have before the transfer window, after Spalletti, for me sarri is more reasonable choice to continue the progress, and he is also kind of long term coaches type.

lets just hope for the best, and when Inter disappointed later..well just go back here and see that there are people that more frustrated than you..:trolldad:

The mercato is not perfect for now. Maybe decent, for now something is for sure missing.

What made me feel "positive" in this 2 months is the respond on the field from the team. Yeah this are only friendly games , i don't care about the result. But the way we played is a lot improved from what we saw with Spalletti. Even when we had a good run, i never saw Inter playing this way.
This feeling when a top team knows how to controll the game and will not easily lose or draw the game. This is what makes Juve and Napoli superior to other teams in Italy. With the diffrence that Napoli can always draw or lose after 6-7 wins in a row (but then starts again to win, not like our jingle bells team that starts to lose all games) While Juve can easily win 10-15 games in a row.
I think this is a realistic target for this team and we could also do better then Napoli. For the scudetto it's still hard specialy considering the players we are missing. Having a new worldclass midfieldeder could be the key for trying to win the scudetto. And i still hope that something will happen in this last weeks of mercato, it's still not over.

But watching our friendlys, one thing seems sure: Our team has something called individuality. I really hope that we will never lose it and keep working to improve it. I have enough of watching a team that can win a Derby but can play the worst football ever the next week and lose against fucking Sassuolo. I accept a lose or a draw. But i want to see us trying to do something against it and not play a annoying possesion football till we conced a goal in the 90 minute. This is something we never stopped to do in this 8 years.
