Inter Milan is about to face greater tests! With the interweaving internal and external pressures, there is not much time left for Qiwo!

After losing the national derby, Inter Milan suffered a bad start of two losses in three rounds. However, unlike the second round of home loss to Udinese, it was not surprising that Juventus did not win this away game. He even tied and led the game for a while and saw hope of winning. However, the final 3:4 score was a pity.

Many fans have started to shout that rookie coach Qiwo has been dismissed, but have these people ever thought that it is easy to get Qiwo out, but who will take over? When Xiao Yin was over, coaches such as Dezelby, Fabregas and even Vieira who were contacted by Inter Milan had no intention of taking over. In the end, his own Zivo gave up the opportunity to grow and level up in Parma and came back to take over this hot potato. Ziwo's abilities and experience are clearly on the surface, but the management still chose him because he was the most suitable person at that time!

As for the national derby defeat, I think Costakuta's evaluation is very pertinent: Zivo must perform well. He was chosen as the head coach, which was a big bet. He did the same on the court. He has done everything he can do in today's game, but Zivo has no bargaining chips. Inter Milan has no dribbling master who can create opportunities and shoot in front of the penalty area, and the opponent has three or four, and the score has changed in the first and second half.

The current situation, if the management is not mentally prepared, I will never believe it! But as Costakuta said, Inter Milan's management is also gambling, and gambling itself is risky. And is his current record really just a matter of Qiwo's ability? The midfield lacks defensive hardness, the drag-back central defender is seriously aging, there are no offensive explosive points in the front, middle and backcourts, and when the team lineup has huge bugs in the front, middle and backcourts, how can you expect him to do?

Moreover, although the Nellas are in a state of enthusiasm, Zivo's situation is far from dangerous. The Club World Cup hastily responded, and the team's signings are limited. Coupled with the injuries of many players such as Cialhanoglu, Zelinsky, and Paval, the final results are not ugly. In the first three rounds of the new season, the first five-goal victory was won, and the third away national derby was only a small loss. The only flaw was the second round of the game that lost to Udinese 1:2 at home.

However, with the start of the Champions League, a bigger test of Inter Milan is coming! As a rookie coach, Ziwo lacks experience in coaching professional league teams, but at least it is a bit, but it is completely blank in multi-line combat, with a complete zero experience!

Under single-line combat, except for occasional cup matches, the team has basically always played the weekly pace. The coaching staff has one week to carefully analyze the next opponent, the players also have plenty of time to rest and recover their physical fitness, and the team can have sufficient preparation time. However, under multi-line combat, the pace of Wednesdays during the 8-round Champions League matches is the same as the pace of the week, affecting at least 16 rounds of the league. The team has to face different opponents every three days, leaving the coaching staff and players with a maximum preparation time of three days. In addition to Serie A, the opponents are also top teams in various leagues. These opponents are relatively unfamiliar with Inter Milan's coaching staff and it is much more difficult to prepare for the game.

In addition to the problems of dense competitions and tight time, the biggest challenge in multi-line combat is lineup rotation! How to balance the playing time between the main players and the substitutes, how to choose tactics when fighting teams of varying strength, and the most important thing is how to ensure that the league and the Champions League are moving forward in unison, and you can’t just focus on one end! This is a topic that Ziwo has never faced before. The first season of Inter Milan should be the stage of paying tuition, but Inter Milan now does not have much time and space for Ziwo to learn and grow!

Currently Inter Milan is facing two pressures in internal and external intertwined!

The biggest problem within the team is the stability of the locker room. After the failure of the Champions League final and the elimination of the Club World Cup, Marotta directly named Cialhanoglu and Turam Jr. praised Cialhanoglu's statement. The injured Paval played indoor tennis with his friends. After this series of incidents occurred, the media speculated that there were already quite a few problems within the team. However, the incident of Cialhanoglu leaving the team was in a hot spot for more than a month but eventually stayed in the team. Although Paval left the team at the last moment of the summer window, Marseille director Benatia confirmed in an interview with the media: Paval had already expressed his idea of ​​joining Marseille when he had dinner with Rabiot in May or June!

Although Cialhanoglu eventually stayed in the team, it can be seen from the incident of Paval's departure that Inter Milan is actually undercurrents and the locker room is not a solid piece of cake. It remains to be seen whether the players can continue to work together to do their best for the team's common goal.

In addition to the relationship between players, whether Ziwo can control the locker room well is also a question. Although he is the team's head coach and a team's three-time champion, Ziwo's coaching experience is too thin and it is difficult to suppress these football bosses. At the beginning, they may be able to use the strong support of the management to control the locker room. However, if they cannot lead the team to achieve a convincing record, Ziwo may soon lose the locker room support, and then he will not be far from being dismissed! The biggest problem outside the team is combat power pressure. The current two-game losing streak in the league will not bring too much problems. After all, there are 35 rounds of Serie A, which does not have a decisive impact on the team's final league ranking. However, this represents the current predicament of the team. If the feeling of winning is not regained in time, the team will be in trouble and never get out.

And after the Champions League starts, Inter Milan under Zivo will face multiple pressures from the league and the Champions League. Even though the management did not issue a target requirement for the championship, the results of the top four in the league and the qualifying of the Champions League group are crucial to maintaining the stability of the team's economic fundamentals. Once one of them fails to meet the standards, especially if the league ultimately misses the top four, without a large capital injection, Inter Milan has to dismantle the team and sell the core to reduce costs to maintain basic operations. That is to completely enter the pace of reconstruction. It is no longer possible to form another lineup with the ability to compete for the championship!

During the training on the second day of the national derby, Inter Milan management led by Osilio came to the Apiano training base for a long time to hold talks with the coaching team. It may be to jointly discuss ways to deal with the current difficulties, or perhaps to express support and affirmation to the coaching team, and at the same time put forward the next work requirements. But this action shows that the management still clearly supports Qiwo, which can ensure that his position as coach is safe for the time being, but he really doesn’t have much time left!

I really look forward to Ziwo being able to lead Inter back to the victory track as soon as possible and become the Ferguson of the Nerazzurri! Forza Inter, keep winning!
