My thoughts too. We can't say that because Inter beat Torino 5-0, they are on course to win the scudetto this time around. Who knows if this performance of theirs would be a one time thing? Inter are a big club and I have the feeling that if the new coach give them what they are looking for, the management would drop him from how I see it.
But we can agree Inter Milan has a solid squad in the Italian league, this victory is one which I see and consider as a statement and not like its some really exercise of their strength but yes it also puts them on the tract to the scudetto this season because the three points and 5 goals will count, they just need to further maintain this kind of result and further accumulate more points moving ahead so they will be able to actually secure the scudetto this season.
It's too early to judge now but what is certain is that the competition between Inter Milan and Napoli will still be presented this season and it will even be much fiercer than last season not because they both play in European competitions but more because of the equality of strength and even though Inter Milan made a change of coach but we can see how strong they showed in their first match, they are very strong and they just need consistency.
$weetne$$ knows that it is too early to judge which team will win the scudetto this season, but he is just saying that the 5 goals Inter Milan used to defeat Torino have put Inter Milan at the top of the Serie A table, and if they further accumulate more points and maintain their current performance, they could secure the scudetto this season. There was stronger competition between Inter Milan and Napoli for the scudetto, and Napoli was able to beat Inter Milan in the race for the scudetto last season because Inter Milan rested their key players for the Champions League. With the new players both teams signed this summer, I agree with you that the competition between Inter Milan and Napoli for the scudetto this season will be more fierce because Napoli will want to defend the scudetto and Inter Milan will want to win it.
They wanted to show everyone that they are the strongest and they are succeeding, the fact of playing a match like this and winning it so exaggeratedly with a difference of 5 goals, says a lot about the preparation and physical shape of the players, it is certainly not a coincidence, and this year we can surely see a team like last year, hungry for sure.
