Mario Sconcerti devoted his weekly Corriere della Sera column to Inter’s tough time as of late: “What is missing is the personality of the midfielders. Geoffrey Kondogbia and Marcelo Brozovic make a great player in two, if you add Banega you have other indeterminate solutions. The same with Roberto Gagliardini I fear he is a great follower, not a captain. The problem is the personality, that is, knowing what to do and the time to do it. So as soon as you turn up by the sea, there is a common will for salvation, a common idea of solidarity. It is an ancient evil, it began immediately after the departure of José Mourinho. Roberto Mancini was closest to solving it, his charisma earned him fourth place alone but Mancini needed time.”

On the future of Stefano Pioli he wrote, “Pioli was expected to solve everything without making mistakes, that is, without evening having to think, impossible. Pioli is a great coach. If you can get Conte and Simeone, Inter will take a step forward. Otherwise its best to stick with Pioli, who is already aware of the basic errors.”

On the derby he concluded, “Inter aren’t as strong but I think Inter will win.”
