Inter followed up a successful week following the restart with an infinitely more frustrating seven days.

A comeback win in Parma and a rather impressive 6-0 demolition of struggling Brescia allowed Inter to flex their muscles and show that they were title dark horses heading into the last dozen games.

However, fast forward to Sunday evening and Inter undid a portion of their good work with a lacklustre 2-1 defeat at the hands of ten-man Bologna.

Contrasting results have brought about contrasting reactions from Inter fans. Here is what we can all agree on in terms of what Antonio Conte’s side has taught us this week..

Achraf Hakimi Done

Inter have officially completed the signing of Moroccan defender/wing-back Achraf Hakimi from Real Madrid.

Hakimi has established himself as one of the best full backs in word football over the past two seasons where he has been plying his trade with Borussia Dortmund.

The deal demonstrates the pull of Inter under Suning and the club’s ambition to return to Europe’s top table.

Credit to Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausillo for getting such a massive deal done. Next stop David Alaba? We can dream..

Victor Moses May Be Worth Retaining

After an excellent cameo in the 2-1 comeback win in Parma last weekend, Victor Moses got a start at home to Brescia and certainly impressed.

Inter missed his industry against Bologna as he sat out with a knock.

His crossing ability and forward thinking play over the two aforementioned fixtures has left Antonio Conte with much thought going into the latter stage of this season.

Initially, bar an assist in the derby for Lukaku, Moses seemed a potential dud and short term at best but he has now until the end of the season to prove the past week hasn’t just been a flash in the pan. His buyout price is set at €12million but Chelsea may lower it.

Alexis Sanchez Deserves To Start Alongside Romelu Lukaku.

Alexis Sanchez has had a similar spell to Moses.

An initial impact, months of treading water and now a burst over the past week.

Sanchez upped the tempo massively as a sub at the Tardini and then followed it up with a goal and an assist against Brescia.

The faltering form of Barcelona ridden Lautaro Martinez should spell a chance in the starting XI for the Chilean.

His link up with fellow United alumni Ashley Young and Romelu Lukaku could be fruitful and could help Sanchez earn a deal here next term.

A mammoth wage at Old Trafford isn’t affordable or reasonable for the Nerazzuri but there may be a way round that. Alexis needs a chance to show his recent form isn’t just a flash in the pan.

Marcelo Brozovic’s Return Is Much Welcomed But Barella Needs To Play For Inter To Play

Although he got little personal reward in Reggio Emilia, Nicolo Barella was vital in helping Inter return with all three points for one simple reason; his tenacity.

His forward thinking and battling nature dragged Inter through and although it was good to have Marcelo Brozovic back dictating the play against Bologna, it was clear Barella was missed.

A return date for Barella is unknown but it can be said with confidence that Inter are much weaker without his box to box presence and Gagliardini is a down grade.

Mister Conte – Be Proactive Not Reactive

Antonio Conte is a brilliant manager. A manager with a CV to back up that statement but he isn’t exempt from criticism after a poor performance.

The defeat against a ten man Bologna side isn’t good enough, especially when it could’ve been avoided.

Sinisa Mihajlovic’s side are no mugs but when they are away from home and down to ten men against a side challenging for the Scudetto, they shouldn’t be walking away with three points.

It seemed obvious that in the second half Inter were struggling to hold their lead and faltering.

The score line started to turn against them and the lack of productive substitutes was baffling.

Alessandro Bastoni’s poor dismissal tied the side’s hands but still it came across that Conte wasn’t brave enough.

Next year he may have more rounded options should players come and go but braver and quicker substitutes that react to the game would benefit Inter massively.

If Inter are to progress to the top two next term, they need more steel and guts to see out games like this and that falls to some extent at the feet of the manager.

Marco Tronchetti Provera, the chief executive of Inter’s main shirt sponsor Pirelli, has shared his belief that Inter manager Antonio Conte will be able to steer the team through the rocky patch they are going for.

Since the season resumed, Inter’s form has been up and down. The Nerazzurri have performed well in some matches but have had huge and very costly drop offs, including a drop off in the most recent match which was a 2-1 loss to Bologna.

“Antonio Conte has great experience and will be able to find a solution. He has already done a lot in the first part of the season, now it is a difficult time but Inter will come out of it,” he began an interview with Italian radio station Rai Gr Parlamento show ‘La Politca Nel Pallone’ yesterday afternoon.

“We have to suffer a little more, but remain united. It is very difficult to give an explanation of something inexplicable.”

Next he spoke on some players who have performed well and not so well since the season resumed, namely Christian Eriksen and Lautaro Martinez.

“There have been moments where the football played has been of the highest quality. We have seen an excellent Christian Eriksen in the past few weeks, then we also saw champions like Lautaro Martinez failing to score and others failing to kill off matches. I think Conte is also wondering what’s going on.”

He then spoke briefly on the Serie A title race, which looks set to be won once again by Inter’s arch rivals Juventus.

“How much will the ninth scudetto of Juventus mean? As much as the other eight.”

Tronchetti Provera then discussed some of the limitations of the current Inter side.

“Finding the right balance is not easy and in football not everything happens according to logic. The team as a whole do not have that necessary mental and physical ability, you can also see naivety on the part of defenders who have played well together over the past few years.

“I think it is a psychological issue. It is surprising that the defence do not perform like they should have given the qualities they have.

“In football the moral component it is fundamental. Leadership on the pitch is important for overcoming moments of transition. Inter still does not have the strength that big players have.”

In conclusion, Tronchetti Provera was asked about whether Pirelli would step in and help Inter to pursue Barcelona’s Lionel Messi, who has often been linked to Inter throughout the years.

“If Suning asked us to help the club? Honestly at a time like this we are unable to invest in sport more than we are currently, between Formula 1, America’s Cup in yachting and Inter. We must ask Steven Zhang to make an effort himself, then we can help but not do meaningful things.”

Italian football journalist Fabrizio Biasin has taken to social media platform Twitter to share his views on what Inter need to do if they wish to improve.

Biasin’s suggestion comes in wake of Inter’s latest disappointing defeat which came at home to Bologna over the weekend.

Inter went 1-0 up and were comfortably in control but failed to kill the game off and were made to pay with Bologna scoring a quickfire double in the last 15 minutes of the match.

He posted: “Before buying new and shiny light bulbs you have to fix the electrical system, otherwise they will continue to trip. Marotta understood this and brought in the number one electrician for Inter. Conte, fix the system and you will get all the bulbs you want.”

Prima di comprare nuove e luccicanti lampadine bisogna sistemare l’impianto elettrico, altrimenti continueranno a saltare.

Questa cosa #Marotta l’ha capita e infatti per l’#Inter ha preso il n° 1 degli elettricisti.#Conte sistemi l’impianto e avrà tutte le lampadine che vuole.

Italian journalist Sandro Sabatini has analysed Inter’s performance in their 2-1 loss to Bologna this past weekend and started by speaking on Inter manager Antonio Conte.

Inter went 1-0 ahead through Romelu Lukaku and were in complete control for around 70 minutes but failed to make it count and were made to pay as Bologna scored twice in the final 15 minutes to secure all three points for themselves at Inter’s expense.

“In his first year he won at both Juventus and Chelsea, but not at Inter. It is not a criticism of Conte, but a praise for what he had done previously. Lippi’s time at Inter for now looks a bit like Conte’s story,” Sabatini explained in an interview with Italian radio station Radio Sportiva on Monday evening.

Sabatini proceeded to speak on Inter January transfer window recruit Christian Eriksen, who had a poor performance against the Rossoblu club.

“He was in better shape when he arrived from Tottenham in January when they didn’t let him play, but when he came in he showed interesting things. Now he does not touch the ball, he is disappointing and I have never seen a player so detached from the game. I can’t understand why he is such a foreign body.”

Next he went to explain why he thinks Inter collapse as often as they have done during this season, especially lately.

“Inter is a team that suffers comebacks because they have a style of play that is very wasteful in terms of energy. It is one thing to play 3-5-2 in the winter but it is another to play it in the Summer.

“The two wing backs run up and down and maybe they do better in Winter. Inter suffered the second goal because Candreva was gasping for air. Playing football in July is different.”

He was then asked whether he had any criticisms to make regarding Conte following his praise for the former Italian national team boss earlier on in the interview.

“I wont criticize him because it would be ungenerous, but there is a need to make considerations that need to be evaluated and accepted.

“Inter have had a transfer market that was far more superior to the one Spalletti ever had, maybe not one at the level of a €100 restaurant, but certainly one at around €80-90.”

Inter are looking to sign not only Sandro Tonali from Brescia to strengthen the midfielder but could also reignite interest in AC Milan’s Ivorian international midfielder Franck Kessie, Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia’s transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio reported on air moments ago.

According to the report, the Nerazzurri have already found an agreement with Sandro Tonali but are yet to find one with Brescia president and owner Massimo Cellino.

However, Inter are also looking for a midfielder with more physical attributes and AC Milan’s Franck Kessie’s name has resurfaced, the report continues. This past January Inter were interested in the former Atalanta midfielder and talks about a swap with Gagliardini were rumored but never materialized.

Now, Inter are considering going after Kessie but it wont be easy as Di Marzio reports the Milan are not keen on sending Kessie to their crosstown rivals.

So it remains to be seen what the formula will be, whether or not another swap with Gagliardini is on the cards and if that is acceptable to Milan, Di Marzio concludes.
