With their fifth consecutive victory between the league and Champions League, Inter heads into the early October break with sky-high morale. Against Cremonese, in the 4-1 win yesterday at San Siro, we probably saw the best version yet of the team coached by Cristian Chivu, who is increasingly showing his ideas on the pitch.

As usual, we present our analysis of five things we learned from the Nerazzurri’s goal-fest at the Meazza (HERE ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF INTER-CREMONESE 4-1).

1) A fierce, entertaining performance, full of rhythm and quality. Inter closes with its fifth consecutive win before the international break, doing so with the authority of a great team. It seemed like one of those anonymous evenings, a match destined to pass by without leaving a mark. Instead, it was a display that gives us many insights and confirmations. Chivu‘s team not only wins, but entertains, convinces, and dominates. And for those who dismiss it with a “it was only Cremonese,” it’s enough to remember that even teams like Milan have dropped points against sides of this level. This Inter, on the other hand, has learned not to underestimate anything.

2) There is only one regret on an almost perfect evening: that goal conceded at the end, like a bitter coffee after a delicious meal. Diouf, who came on with good energy, was caught out by holding onto the ball too long and allowed the visitors a consolation goal. A rookie mistake, nothing more, but it leaves a slight annoyance at missing out on another clean sheet. That said, the numbers say it all: 27 shots for Inter against Cremonese‘s 3. Overwhelming superiority, a demonstration of offensive power and total control of the game. The small blemish does not erase the big picture.

3) The snapshot of this match is just one: an Inter that presses high, wins the ball back, and goes straight for goal. The move for Lautaro Martínez’s goal that opened the scoring is the emblem of this philosophy. Immediate recovery, quick combination, precise finish. All in a matter of seconds. Chivu‘s team has become a machine that suffocates opponents in their own half, without pause, without letting them breathe. It’s the synthesis of months of work: organized pressing, perfect synchronization, fierce mentality.

4) Without Thuram, many feared a more complicated evening up front. Instead, here comes Ange-Yoan Bonny’s first start, and it was sensational: one goal, three assists, and a performance as the absolute protagonist. But beyond the numbers, what stands out is the sense of still untapped potential. The Frenchman, born in 2003, plays with lightness and instinct, but you can sense he still has huge room for growth. Inter has discovered a real asset: young, powerful, generous. And above all, another certainty in a department that until now seemed to have unchangeable hierarchies. How great – and how useful – it is to have such ready and decisive alternatives.

5) The individual performances were many and all above average: Bonny, of course, but also the usual Lautaro as leader and driving force, Dimarco devastating on the wing, Bastoni precise and elegant, Frattesi increasingly integrated into the system. But one name deserves a special mention: Nicolò Barella. Deployed in the playmaker role instead of Calhanoglu, he interpreted the position with intelligence and intensity, alternating recoveries and vertical passes, with his usual contagious energy. He is the symbol of a group that knows how to adapt, change players without losing quality. A team that has found balance, confidence, and above all, an extraordinary variety of solutions.
