From Parma to Eindhoven. From the goal of Dimarco to the goals of Nainggolan and Icardi at the Philips Stadium. The world has been turned upside down in the space of a couple of weeks. In the most difficult moment, the switch was turned over, with the Nerazzurri who now have five consecutive victories, Inter are again in the high positions in the Serie A standings and even at the top of the group in the Champions League on a par with Barcelona. Qualification to the knockout stages is now a very concrete opportunity, underlines Corriere dello Sport.

The Rome based newspaper tries to explain the reasons for the upturn in form: What has changed compared to twenty days ago? To begin with, the fitness and conditioning levels have clearly improved, plus Spalletti has given certainty to the group, on the one hand insisting on 4-2-3-1, without any variations, and on the other hand rotating the squad, so as to keep as many players as possible ready to go and avoiding making them miss too many games in a row.

So now Inter is a solid team, which scores few goals, only three in the last five matches, but which finds a new effectiveness in the build-up play that is no longer focused only on Icardi, but able to multiply the players able to hurt the opponent, so much so that there are already ten different players who have scored a goal.

As Spalletti underlined, now it is necessary to confirm what has been shown in these weeks. At the moment, however, there are many arguments that say this is a team still in transition, rather than a complete team who had a bad start to the season.

The improvement of the physical condition, in fact, is verified by the stats and it means that the initial difficulties were probably foreseen, having to face extra games in the Champions League, compared to last year, when the Nerazzurri started with the foot on the accelerator.

Moreover, in addition to continuing with the 4-2-3-1, Spalletti will continue with his squad rotations. Tonight, for example, we will see Vrsaljko again, who so far only played against Torino and, for four minutes against Bologna, before suffering a knee injury. Also Keita, who has been a spectator in the last two matches, and Borja Valero, who seems to be in good form and can step in for the injured Brozovic.

In short, the work of the Nerazzurri coach is there for all to see. Work that does not pass only from the field, but that involves the psychological and mental aspect, that is what ultimately makes the difference, and Inter must demonstrate that it has matured precisely from that point of view.
