it was really great hearing the fans again, specialy the "explosion" at the hakan goal, really missed that even if it's not full stadium. But it really makes a diffrence, sad that we won the scudetto with closed doors.

imagine hakan scoring at the derby in a full san siro :awyeah:

by the way, someone mentioned Conte's debut on Inter's bench. 2 years ago we started our journey with Conte by winning with Lecce 4:0 at home:

yep, I have to say there a lot of similarities. We started with similar enthusiasm 2 years ago and we were able to score 2 fast goals at the beginning of the match. First goal was scored by the key player from previous seasons (Brozović then, Skriniar yesterday) and the second goal was scored by our new playmaker (Sensi then, Calhanoglu yesterday). We scored two more goals in the second half and one of them was scored by a player who was unwanted by most of us (Candreva then, Vidal yesterday) and one by our new number 9 (Lukaku then, Dzeko yesterday).

Our second match was against Cagliari and after a lot of toil we were able to win. Let's hope it will be similar on friday against Verona.

the diffrence is that we lost some of this players but also replaced them in this 2 years. Hakimi was not there, Dzeko (+ Correa?) came for Lukaku, Dummfries and Darmian instead Candreva, Moses and Lazaro, Perisic and Dimarco instead Asamoah-Young-Biraghi. Then we have not only Sensi now but also Hakan, maybe Eriksen too one day, who knows.
We also had some problems in the defence. Don't forget how bad Skriniar was in the 3man defence. Godin only at the end of season improved a lot, thats why lot of times Dambro played instead them. And Bastoni wasn't that good like he's now.

What i wan't so say is that this team changed a lot. The most important "aspect" is that this guys are a winner team now. They have more experience, played more then 2 seasons together. The coach changed, but i expect them to be more solid then the recent years. Specialy talking about our 3 defenders, Brozo, Barella and Lautaro, they are important leaders now. We will see how far this team will go, on paper we have a realistic chance to be at least a fighting scudetto canditate with Juve and maybe Napoli. Even without Lukaku Eriksen and Hakimi! Many fans are acting like we lost the whole team. This players are still hungry and knows the meaning of "winning", diffrent from 2011 for example, where most of them already won everything.

Speaking of Eriksen, watching our attacking play yesterday and reading Inzaghi comments about giving freedom to his players, i can't help but wonder what Eriksen could have done under Inzaghi. Sadly fate had different plans.

He will. He wasnt really sharp in the first match either. Sure he saves us on some occasions, but I expect some fuck ups as well.

he had one shit moment when Zinho was passing/shooting from the side, when Skriniar intervened. By the looks of it, the ball wasn't going in, but Handa had to react to that.... There was also a shot when he dropped the ball, but that was a shot from 6 meters and i cant really be mad that he didnt catch that ball..... His game with the feet tho, is by far the best in Serie A and probably one of the best in Europe.
