Count over the records, Inter's primacy bears his signature

The league calendar

Inter is the first to have drawn a single match (with Parma at home last 26 October) and having lost the direct clash against Juventus. Sarri's team is unbeaten, in Serie A and in the Champions League, but in the league he has made three: in Florence on September 14th, in Lecce on October 26th and Sunday at the Stadium against Sassuolo. At the end of the first round there are five games to go and on the card the Nerazzurri and Bianconeri will be equally challenging. In addition to hosting Roma at home on December 6th, Inter will face Napoli in San Paolo and Atalanta al Meazza in January. For Juve the most demanding challenges are next Saturday in Rome against Lazio and the two of January: at home with Maran's Cagliari and again at the Olimpico, but against Roma.

The strengths of the Nerazzurri

The strengths of Inter, which help explain the reasons for overtaking, are to be found first of all in the character that Antonio Conte was able to convey to the team. "These guys give me everything, beyond their means," he said. Despite the injuries of Sensi and Barella, and with a much shorter squad than their rival Juventus, Inter never gives up. The defense, after a few weeks of heeling, suffered only one goal in the last three games. The attack marks more and more: Lautaro and Lukaku together have scored 24 goals between the league and the cup, 13 the Argentine and 11 the Belgian. On the other hand, the bianconeri suffer from a certain satisfaction. "There is a lack of motivation in the league," said Sarri, who is also managing some undertone players (in addition to Ronaldo, Bernardeschi and Emre Can) and has still not quite managed to impose his game on the team.

The journey in the Champions League

In the cup Inter is second in his group, on a par with Borussia Dortmund, behind Barcelona, ​​already mathematically first and qualified. Just Barcelona will be Inter's opponent next December 10 against at San Siro. To enter the round of 16, Inter will have to make the same points against the Blaugrana that the Germans will be able to do at home against Slavia Prague, condemned from mathematics to elimination. Inter and Borussia have the same points, but in case of a tie the Nerazzurri will be rewarded by the best goal difference in the direct matches. For Juve, already qualified, the Champions League group is not a thought, and the match against Leverkusen on 11 December will not be an excessive distraction from the championship commitments.

The January market

As for the January market, the prospects for Inter and Juve are very different. The Nerazzurri, short of players, will have to reinforce themselves. Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio look with interest at Kulusevski, an atalantino on loan at Parma, De Paul, Udinese midfielder, and Tonali from Brescia, of whom, however, he will realistically speak in the summer. Already in winter Arturo Vidal could arrive, even if the hypothesis of his transfer is anything but simple. "Relationships are excellent with Vidal. But unfortunately he is a player in Barcelona. Many clubs would like this, but with positive convergence you can think about it". For Juventus, which actually has two teams, the prospect is, if anything, to get rid of players it can do without. Starting with Demiral, who likes Milan.
