Awaiting Inter Milan's Steps After Reaching Campione d'Inverno Status
2021-12-23 15:34MILAN -- Inter Milan has proven its worth after coming into this season with various shocks. The debt that entangled the Suning Group as the owner of Inter Milan gave rise to rumors of the sale of most of the club's shares.
Differences in views between the club's management and Antonio Conte led to the Italian coach's decision to end his partnership with La Beneamata. In terms of player composition, the Nerazzurri first team was also disarmed with the departure of Romelu Lukaku and Achraf Hakimi.
Conte in the coaching chair, Lukaku in attack, and Hakimi in the wing position are considered to have played an important role in the Nerazzurri's journey to the throne of the Italian Serie ALiga champions last season. However, the departure of the three figures did not make La Beneamata shake.
Simone Inzaghi, who was trusted to replace Conte, calmly and surely can keep the Nerazzurri on track to win. Since losing, 1-3, to Lazio, Inter Milan has continued to advance with a notch 10 matches without defeat, including consecutive wins in the last six matches.
Two big wins, 4-0 over Cagliari and 5-0 over Salernitana, plus the failure of Napoli and AC Milan to pick full points in the last two weeks, led La Beneamata as capolista or leader of the Serie A standings. La Benemata is four points ahead of Napoli and AC Milan, which ranks second and third respectively.
This four-point advantage also brings Inter Milan to ensure its status as the half-season champion of Serie A or commonly called the Campione d'Inverno this season. Statistical records are also in favor of the holder of this status in the race for the Serie A scudetto title.
As many as 67 percent of the winners of the Campione d'Inverno managed to end the season as Serie A champions. Since 2004/2005, there have only been three seasons with different teams at the top of the standings in the middle of the season and the end of the season.
One of them was when AC Milan failed to maintain the top position of the standings after being overtaken by city rivals, Inter Milan, in the second half of last season. So, what challenges await Inter Milan after reaching Campione d'Inverno status?
