Simone Inzaghi's Inter wins, but above all convinces in terms of the game, as has rarely happened in the history of the blacks. So much so that many are now asking: is this Inter the best ever? An initial answer comes from Marco Materazzi, someone who has played and won everything with Inter.
The former defender has no doubts when it comes to comparing today's team to the one that was able to win the treble in 2010. "I honestly say that today's Inter plays better than we did in 2010. It's really a pleasure to watch. Credit must go to Inzaghi, who understood how not to waste talent.
It's enough just to make strong players feel good together to get results, even without inventing who knows what. And then the managers of the club have made very few mistakes in recent years in the market, they are really very good. From Mkhitaryan to Barella, they knew they had strong roots, belonging, seriousness. That's how they built this team, which looks perfect", - notes Materazzi, interviewed by "Gazzetta dello Sport".
On the other hand, the former defender has always believed in the value of the current team: "Is it going towards the title? I had no doubt, I was sure from the beginning of the season. This Inter has a lot of quality and conviction after the Istanbul final , is clearly superior".
However, in the Champions League the road is still long and the first hurdle does not evoke sweet memories for Materazzi: "Simeone? I have a bad memory, everyone knows what May 5, 2022 is, so it's better to let's not talk. This may indeed be the most difficult obstacle to the final.
Inter has become a machine, it can try against anyone without fear. In the first match at 'San Siro' we could have scored more, but the team doesn't waver anymore. Of course, it will be a tough challenge in Madrid. Mistakes are costly against such shrewd opponents."
Finally, when asked who the new Materazzi is, the former defender mentions two names: "Acerbi probably approaches me because of history, because he was ordained late. I also see myself in Bastoni, partly in his physique and partly in the way he plays with his left foot".
