I personally think there are two most important points: the first is Mourinho, and the second is successful signings.

Let’s talk about Mourinho first. It is undeniable that he is a great coach. Last season was Mourinho's first season at Inter Milan, and understanding and debugging the team was his main task. The change from wanting to copy Chelsea's 4-3-3 two-wing style of play to continuing Mancini's 4-3-12 control style of play based on Inter Milan's own staffing has to be said to be Mourinho's pragmatism. The regression of Serie A and the overall strength of Inter Milan make the league championship no longer in doubt. This season Mourinho has truly injected his own elements into Inter Milan: inflated self-confidence, tenacity, arrogance and dominance. This season's Inter Milan is a typical Mourinho's iron-blooded team, with solid defense, fierce fighting, and simple and practical offense.

Let’s talk about signings. This season, Ibrahimovic, who was outstanding but too egotistical, was purged, and replaced with a world-class striker combination of the concise and efficient Milito and the all-around selfless Eto'o. This changes the team from "serving the forwards" to "being served by the forwards". The arrival of Sneijder completely solved the problem of the team's offensive organization. Sneijder is a team player. He does not need a lot of possession of the ball. He can play the ball simply and quickly, with strong penetrating power and active running. This He quickly integrated into the team. Although Motta's defense is not very tough, like Cambiaso, they are both players who have good positioning and rely on their brains to defend. And Motta's passing is very good, whether it is long or short pass, it is accurate and sharp. It can be said that he, Sneijder and Cambiaso form the brains of the team. Buying Lucio for only 8 million can be said to be a big bargain. His fierce, tough and steady style of play makes the combination of Lucio and Samoel a world-class central defender configuration. Pandev, who came in the middle of the season, also greatly supplemented the team's forward line. It can be said that the signings in the new year were extremely successful.

Based on the above two points, we can see that compared to last season, Inter Milan's tactics this season are more mature and stable, the personnel composition is more powerful and reasonable, and the team's temperament is more prominent. So we saw this only Inter Milan that dared to fight against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and this only Inter Milan that conceded one goal first against Barcelona at Meazza but scored three goals in a row.
