I took 90 minutes to watch this Inter game

I confess that this was my first Inter game of the season. I'd already watched Milan, Roma, and Napoli, so today it was Inter's turn. Honestly, if I had watched it before, they're playing so poorly with this new coach, I wouldn't have bet on them. I was wondering how the hell they're so awful? It seemed like Lautaro wasn't even on the field because I didn't see him often. Another guy who was missing was Marcus Thuram.

This top performance isn't from a team that wants to win the title; it's the performance of a team fighting for third and fourth place. I see this as the best Inter will achieve this season, to make their situation even worse, and their next game will be against Juventus, with a high risk of losing again. I haven't bet on them again this season.

After a first match with a big win, Chivu and Inter Milan hosted Udinese, scored first but lost at the match ending. They have a full second half to equalize the match result but could not score a second goal for rescuing one point. This is a poor performance of Inter Milan and it somewhat shows their limitation with a young and inexperienced coach Cristian Chivu.

Now Inter Milan already fell behind some competitors that managed to have maximum 6 points after two matches: Napoli, Juventus and AS Roma. The season is long enough for Inter Milan to cover this defeat but it also contains risk that Inter Milan will drop more points in the future if they can not improve themselves and play better in both attacks and defense.

Juventus won again.
It was not an easy game this evening like the last one.
They risked the tie in the end when Genoa hit the crossbar.

But the big surprise of the evening just happened.
Inter lost at home against udinese after dominating the 1st game of the season won 5-0.

now we have a break and after that? Juventus-Inter

Juventus seem to continue having problems with attacking power but they maximized points earned so far. It helps them to maintain competitive position with other clubs while buying more time for Tudor in order to improve the system especially attacking system. Inter Milan just got a defeat and a big clash with Juventus will be so important for both clubs, especially Inter Milan.

If Inter Milan lose in that derby Italiana, Chivu will feel more pressure and Inter Milan might fall into a crisis very shortly after the season beginning.
