The fact that Inter Milan has so far been so successful in the Champions League is largely due to the strong defensive. In the games Yann Sommer and Yann Aurel Bisseck important roles.
Inter Milan’s defensive is a bulwark. This is easy to prove, because the top Italian club only conceded three goals in eleven games from the Champions League, and no more than one game. Yann Sommer stayed eight times without conceding a goal. With almost 91 percent of defended balls, he also has the best odds of all goalkeepers that were used in the premier class this season.
Inter Milan’s defensive is not a bulwark. This thesis is also easy to prove, because the league leader of Serie A collected 31 goals in 32 league games. On average, these are only minimally fewer goals than she swallows FC Bayern. The bill is very simple: 29 goals in 29 Bundesliga games.
Defensive is no stress for Inter
The defensive is considered to be susceptible to the Munich defensive, also because of the injuries to goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and the defender Dayot Upamecano and Alphonso Davies. And the first leg showed how disciplined the Milanese acts when the opponent’s ball has been possessed. It also showed that coach Simone Inzaghi is not at all because of having a lot of the ball.
The processes in the 3-5-2 system seemed well trained, the professionals from Inter usually kept calm in stressful situations. This should also be because the players of the “Nerrazurri” are trimmed. For them, the withstanding of opposing storm runs is not an exceptional situation, but sometimes even something wanted, but at least something that they are well prepared.
Yann Aurel Bisseck: “Not bad if the opponent has the ball”
Yann Aurel Bisseck has also experienced this development, who is given something completely new at Inter compared to his previous stations (including 1. FC Köln). “The biggest difference is that you have to be patient and it is not bad if the opponent has the ball. What is often said elsewhere, we have to recapture the ball as quickly as possible and don’t want to stand deep.said the 24-year-old in the sports show interview.
Bisseck, who was used as a joker in the first leg against FC Bayern: “I think we are the best team in Italy. We usually have more possession in the league, but our trainer always tells us that it is totally okay when the strikers are at the center line or deeper and we first defend. In many other clubs I was, it was about not giving the opponent too much, but in Italy compact is very important.”
Milan was also lucky against Munich
And that can live out even better in the Champions League than in series A. Maybe this is also a reason why the defensive in the premier class keeps better than in everyday national life. Although it was shown in the first leg against FC Bayern that it is far from the case that the Italian bulwark is indomitable.
Despite all the qualities, the Munich team came to some big opportunities, 20 degrees, including seven shots that flew on the goal. Statistically, a shot with a great chance of Harry Kane did not even include that hit the post. That was the huge chance of 1-0 for Bayern, in return, Lautaro Martinez Inter brought the lead instead. Not because of the strong defensive, but because of Kane’s inability. So a little luck also needs Inter.
Rummenigge: FC Bayern needs “a little miracle”
This is generally needed in a quarter -finals of the Champions League. In his second leg, Milan is now going with a small 2-1 pad, which the team around summer and Bisseck wants to defend in their own stadium. “It is more proud than tension. We know how good Bavaria is and we have to deliver a really good game”said Inzaghi. “We must not think of the result, but only the performance.”
Since it is often too good for the opponent at Inter – as in the first leg for FC Bayern, even the former Munich CEO seems to be skeptical before the second leg. “In my opinion, according to the result of the first leg in Munich, a little miracle is needed for Bavaria, because Inter has presented itself as a strong team. For me, Inter is the favorite to get on”said Karl-Heinz Rummenigge of the “Gazzetta Dello Sport”. He also knows that Inter can be tight in the back.
