Inter keep close eye on nutrition

By Football Italia staff

Inter midfielder Nicolò Barella explained just how close an eye his club medics and nutritionists are keeping on the players during their coronavirus isolation.

The Nerazzurri went into quarantine as a precaution after Juventus defender Daniele Rugani tested positive, just a few days after their Serie A match in Turin.

They cannot reach the training ground, but Antonio Conte is still his usual controlling self when it comes to nutrition and fitness.

The importance of being Brozovic

It’s difficult to gauge just how much Marcelo Brozovic brings to this Inter midfield until they have to do without him, argues Tommaso Adami.

The first time Marcelo Brozovic set foot at San Siro was on November 16, 2014, when Croatia played Antonio Conte's Italy in the fourth match of the 2016 European Championship qualifiers. Marcelo, who was turning 22 that day, was then a promising midfielder at Dinamo Zagreb. Little did he he know that, only two months later, that very stadium would become his home and, five years down the line, the opposition's manager would coach him at Inter, making him the pre-eminent midfield pawn in his title-challenging side.

Barella: 'I don't do easy goals!'

By Football Italia staff

Nicolò Barella joked that he only scores difficult goals, as Inter pushed past Fiorentina 2-1 to set up a Coppa Italia semi-final with Napoli.

The young Italy international scored the winner after Antonio Candreva and Martin Caceres goals, a scorching volley from the edge of the box.

“I tried and it went right into the far bottom corner. I must learn to score easier goals,” smiled Barella on Rai Sport.

Conte can't complain now

Antonio Conte can no longer complain at a lack of options, argues Emmet Gates, as Inter are giving the moaning coach everything he asks for.

“We are talking about players who, apart from Diego Godin, have never won anything. Who do we turn to? Nicolò Barella, who has come from Cagliari? Or Stefano Sensi, who came from Sassuolo?”

These are perhaps Antonio Conte’s most infamous words of the season. Bellowed in the aftermath of Inter’s 3-2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League in November, it was Conte at his crabbiest: bemoaning a lack of alternatives in his squad.

Eriksen the right man for Inter

Christian Eriksen looks set join Inter from Tottenham Hotspur, so Karsten Krogh examines whether the Dane is a good fit for Antonio Conte and Serie A.

Christian Eriksen will turn 28 in February and should be at the absolute peak of his powers the next couple of years. He has never been particularly quick and thus never had to rely on his speed. He is almost never injured and he has been used to playing many games over a season. Last term he played 35 Premier League matches (eight goals and 12 assists) and 12 in the Champions League (two goals and four assists). Statistically, he is often the player on the pitch who has run the most after Tottenham’s games.

Inter ask Man Utd for Matic

By Football Italia staff

Inter are considering an approach for Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic in January, according to The Telegraph.

Inter signed Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez from the English side last summer, and they might go back once more for the Serbian midfielder.

Antonio Conte has repeatedly demanded reinforcements, especially in midfield where the absences of Nicolo Barella and Stefano Sensi have been keenly felt.

The Telegraph states that Inter could be prepared to sign Matic in the winter transfer window.
