Trevisani on Inter-Como: «If they take the field like this, the league doesn't exist»

At the microphones of Radio Mana Mana Sport, journalist Trevisani commented on Inter‘s victory over Como with clear words: “Inter crushed and massacred Como until the 90th minute.” An analysis that starts from the league numbers and goes on to touch on the mental solidity regained by the Nerazzurri after the derby.

“Today the standings tell us that Roma is third in a championship wide open for the title race,” observed Trevisani. “Then Inter-Como reminds us, wickedly, that this is a league — and I repeat it for the 11th matchday in a row — in which if Inter wants, they get 100 points: there is no doubt.”

The journalist highlighted the quality of the defeated opponent: Como is traveling with 9 points in the Champions League, a team that “is amazing the world.” Yet Inter crushed and massacred them until the 90th minute. According to Trevisani, the blow in the derby served as a mental reset: “Inter used it to get back into the mental condition needed to be strong, that is, to be attentive. They no longer did the little dances and the lazy jogging.”

The conclusion of the reasoning leaves little room for interpretation. “If Inter is on the pitch like yesterday or in Rotterdam, the league doesn’t exist,” said Trevisani. “Against one of the most in-form teams in Europe, they win 2-0, everyone goes home and goodbye.” However, the variable exists: “Inter has players who sometimes do what they shouldn’t and a coach who sometimes invents things like in the derby.” That is where the competition with the other 19 teams is born.

The final image chosen by the journalist is that of the wardrobe: “If Inter takes the field in a tuxedo like yesterday or in Rotterdam, they win another 10 games and the league doesn’t exist. But it can happen that once, instead of the tuxedo, they put on a tracksuit, jeans — and the league exists.”
