Paolo Condò analyzed in his editorial for the Corriere della Sera the friendlies played by Inter, Milan, and Juventus. The journalist emphasized that the real season will begin on October 11, when the transfer market, post-World Cup aftermath, and other variables will be behind us. However, by that date, 15 points will already have been awarded in the league and 3 in the European cups.
According to Condò, the matches between Inter and Milan in Perth and the one between Juventus and Chelsea offered interesting elements despite the summer nature of the games. The journalist highlighted the use of Provedel for 20 minutes and Stankovic for 45 minutes, useful for getting an idea of the alternatives that will have to make up for the initial absences.
As stated by Chivu, using Lautaro and Thuram in the match on August 22 would be risky, given that they are still on vacation. Among the topics that emerged, Condò focused on Pavard: “Pavard also played well, who earns too much to be the second reserve in the role – which he is today – but is struggling to find a suitor who will free Inter from the burden of his salary: if the stalemate continues, he will end up staying.”
The journalist finally highlighted “the verve of Matteo Lavelli, Inter’s striker born in 2006.”
