A week before the start of the championship, Paolo Condò analyzed in the pages of the Corriere della Sera the gap between Inter and the other top teams in the Italian league. According to the journalist, the Nerazzurri start with a clear advantage over the competition.
In the last three seasons, the Milanese team has collected 262 points, compared to Napoli‘s 211, second in this special ranking. A difference of 51 points, which translates into an average of 17 points per season. “Such a deep chasm cannot be bridged in the space of a single transfer window,” wrote Condò, highlighting how this gap represents a significant advantage over their rivals.
The other top teams are all close to each other: Juventus with 210 points, Milan with 208, Roma with 205, and Atalanta with 202. According to the journalist, these clubs have swapped coaches, alternating between revolutions and restorations, while the Nerazzurri have maintained greater continuity.
Marotta‘s call for an ambitious Champions League campaign reveals, according to Condò, how such a strong club needs higher goals. The journalist cited the example of Spence, who attacks less than Dumfries but is more punctual defensively, allowing the option to play with a back four and add a midfielder or a winger to play like the big European teams.
