That was a crazy celebration yesterday, seemed even bigger than the celebration we had after winning the historic treble! There is
something special about this Inter
I have seen great Inter teams in the almost 4 decades of being a fan. Trappatoni's legends who dominated possibly the most star studded League of all time in 1989, Simoni's "unlucky" superstars who deserved to win in 1998, Mancini's Inter who dominated the league into submission in 2007, Mourinho's Treble winners in 2010, & Conte's efficient Inter who came in to their own in the last 6 months of 2021. All great teams, full of stars. But Inzaghi's champions hit different, they are an emotion, a joy even bigger than before
One reason is that this team was build from scraps, in midst of the club facing an unprecedented financial crisis. The Champions of 2021 were dismantled & sold for parts with Conte leaving, followed by stars like Lukaku, Hakimi, Brozovic, Onana, etc so that Inter can pay the wages & keep the club afloat. This squad was craftily built by the genius of Marotta & Co from scraps & free deals, but every new player "fit" perfectly to the gameplan of Inzaghi. And gradually, this team got better & better, Inzaghi-ball started to work, culminating in this Scudetto & the 2nd star
This Inter may not have the stars the Scudetto winning Inters of the past had, but as a team, this is possibly The Most Attractive Football I have ever seen Inter play. It is said that a successful team is greater than the sum of its individual parts. This Inter embodies that more than any Scudetto winner I have seen in almost 4 decades. Thhe team spirit & the camaraderie between the players, management & the fans is unbelievable & it shows on the pitch. The love for this team even overrides the nostalgia factor. It was fitting that Inter won their 20th Scudetto &
in the derby with Milan still stuck at 19. It was meant to be. This Inter deserves that, and much more
This Inter is an emotion.
This Inter is love.
