THE EVE
San Siro reopens its doors after the long break due to National team commitments: an interval marked by interviews and statements with Inter coach Cristian Chivu ready to open up and tell his story. An idea of football made of small steps and big goals for an Inter that always shows heart and character, come what may. The Nerazzurri face Alberto Gilardino's Parma on Saturday at 6 pm, a side struggling in troubled waters with four points in five matches. One must not trust the numbers too much and Inter must win to continue the title race, which will be without — at least for a stretch — Curtis Jones.
The player, after undergoing medical tests, is suffering from a myofascial strain of the adductors of his right thigh, which will keep him off the pitch for at least twenty days. Against Parma, Chivu could rotate the squad with the looming Champions League in mind, calling on Provedel in goal with the trio of Pavard, Bisseck and Carlos Augusto in front of him. Calhanoglu returns to the midfield engine room with Barella and Mkhitaryan in place of the injured Jones. Luis Henrique and Dimarco operating on the flanks. Resting are Lautaro and Pio Esposito, with Thuram and Bonny as the starting strike partnership.
There is no time to catch one's breath because Tuesday it is already Champions time, with Club Brugge arriving, a very young side with an average age of 23, very physical and used to playing at high tempos. Chivu says that for the Champions League there is no perfect recipe, and that many ingredients are needed to win. The hope is that the planets align after the bitterness of the debut against Real Madrid, brought about by a horror-version Martinez. Mourinho makes himself heard from Spain with the usual refrain of wanting to link his name to the Nerazzurri Treble forever: "It will be tough but they can win the Treble this season. It will be difficult, because Roma is there and it will be difficult for them in the league. Something could also happen in the Coppa Italia. But I think Inter has everything to... I hope not, I hope not, I hope not...".
Chivu will not be very happy with Mourinho's Gasconades but in the end the coach must prove his strength in the Champions League, where so far the other side of the coin has been on display, that of fragility and errors that in Europe are paid for dearly. But even against Parma the guard must remain high: the epic comebacks — now a trademark — do not always work and the fact remains that the Nerazzurri concede too many goals. The contingent of English players at Milan is struggling to fit in and so far they have not been seen much. In short, somewhat worrying signals are being picked up, with Roma giving no ground, an opponent that is truly dangerous for an Inter that is the overwhelming favorite, at least on paper.
