Preview from .
INT

They force a lot of mistakes near your goal with their pressing, even if they do not always punish them.

“In particolare, il pressing feroce dei nerazzurri determina ben 23 possessi persi nel terzo difensivo azzurro, senza che gli uomini di Chivu riescano ad approfittarne.”

INT

Against sides that sit back, Inter will have the ball and keep it in the other half.

Source Francesco Pompeo · 8 Sep 2026
“Appena 60 passaggi dal 54’ al 82’, di cui quasi uno su 3 lunghi, signicano che l’Inter avesse il predominio nel possesso e nel palleggio anche nel terzo offensivo e che il Napoli aspettasse praticamente arroccato in difesa a difendere il fortino per il resto della gara.”

Just 60 passes from the 54th to the 82nd minute, almost one in three of them long, mean that Inter dominated possession and passing even in the final third, while Napoli waited, practically barricaded in defence, for the rest of the game. our translation
