Stramachoni: Inter Milan wants to catch up with Naples, they must reduce their goals

Former Inter Milan coach Stramachoni was interviewed by Milan Sports. He pointed out that if the Nerazzurri wants to catch up with the leader Napoli, he must solve the problem of losing too many goals.

Can Inter catch up with Naples?

"I have only played 4 rounds now: Inter Milan has the strength to do this, and Napoli has returned to the European game this season, which is a factor that may affect the league. However, the teams that compete for the championship this season seem to be not limited to these two teams."

How to catch up with Napoli?

"Inter Milan adopted a proactive approach in the first four games, but at the same time it also gave their opponents too many opportunities. Currently, in the Serie A, the Nerazzurri is the team with the highest proportion of goals conceded due to the opponent's attack. In other words, it is too easy to concede the ball, which must be improved." Which of the two teams in the lineup looks stronger?

"Inter substitute players have increased a lot, especially midfielders and forwards. Except for Akanji to replace Paval, other players have enhanced the thickness of the bench, but the strength of the eleven starting players does not seem to have changed. After several years of zero transfer fee signing, Inter Milan is now focusing on young players under the age of 23. This is the right choice, but it requires some patience. In addition to De Bruyne, Napoli has introduced some experienced but promising players, such as Hoylund and Luca. In terms of quantity, Napoli's lineup is suitable for both the league and the Champions League." How are the new players performing?  

"It always takes time to adapt to it when we come to a big club, but I was deeply impressed by the speed of integration between De Bruyne and Hoylund. On Inter Milan, only Susic and Akanji have reached the main level. In addition, Esposito is also very noteworthy. I like him very much and he has the conditions to become a dark horse."
