For Conte, it is not good news to encounter Sassuolo at this time. The latter is the biggest dark horse in Serie A this season. Before this round, they ranked second in the league. They once ended it with their own hands. In addition to Napoli's unbeaten record on the field this season, Boga was the dribble king last season and ranked second in the dribble list this season. Inter Milan's right-side defense will face a strong challenge. Many people have begun to predict, If Inter Milan is defeated by their opponents in this game, will Conte be dismissed?

Before the game, Italian media broke the news that Allegri intended to take over the coaching position of Inter Milan. However, less than 24 hours before the game, Inter Milan chairman Zhang Kangyang said: "We have seen what it takes to complete this mission. After taking over Inter Milan, Conte quickly became the true leader of the team. The players also showed their dedication and selfless fighting spirit to the coach. "This statement temporarily calmed people's concerns about Conte. TI questioned after class.

However, this kind of official rhetoric cannot dispel people's doubts about Conte's coaching position. If the league cannot regain its place, I am afraid that Chairman Zhang himself will be difficult to support, but fortunately Conte has He played Sassuolo, who had been undefeated in 8 rounds before, and it was a 3-0 victory. Conte's change in the overall formation was also the main reason for him to complete his self-rescue.

Although judging from the official formation, Conte still put up a 352 formation, but from the position point of view, Damian and Bastoni look like two full-backs, with strong assists. Not big, Perisic is positioned further forward, and Sanchez is mostly active on the right, thus forming a frontcourt trident with Lautaro, plus Vidal, Barrera, and Gabbiadini with outstanding running abilities. With a midfielder that is both offensive and defensive, Inter Milan's defense is indeed more solid.

Withdrawing Achraf, who was eliminated by Hazard in the last Champions League game, and continuing to trust Vidal, the sinner who lost because of the red card. These two moves were right. Conte played again A sharp counterattack, and on the defensive end, especially on the right, he was even more successful in defending the opponent's left winger Boga, allowing the most extraordinary winger in Serie A to perform averagely throughout the game. Damian got a game-high 5 steals, while Skrinha regained the ball a game-high 12 times. Without Boga's performance, it would be more difficult for Sassuolo to score goals. .

The situation that Inter Milan is encountering now is indeed difficult. However, 11 years ago, Inter Milan led by Mourinho also encountered huge doubts at this time. At that time, Inter Milan was not comparable to Roma in the league. Up and down, there is no leading advantage in previous seasons. Their situation in the Champions League is also average. After 4 rounds of games, they only scored 5 points. Their advantage over the next two teams is not obvious. More importantly, with Mourinho, who is famous for his defense, conceded 6 goals in 4 rounds of the Champions League. At that time, they met another La Liga team Barcelona in the group. Mourinho was also beaten by his opponents in the two group matches. , however, Inter Milan, who worked together as one, finally completed the miracle of the Triple Crown.

Of course, the current Inter Milan cannot be compared with the one at that time, but the club’s requirements for Inter Milan are also different from those at that time. At that time, Inter Milan won the league championship and the Champions League was the only one. Goal, and the pressure on Conte may be slightly less at this time. A league championship is enough to satisfy the top management. Now Inter Milan has surpassed Sassuolo and ranked second in the league. Coupled with Zhang Kangyang's support, Conte has also made some changes at the tactical level. No longer a "silly youngster", maybe Inter Milan will get better and better.
