The team wants to give Inzaghi the record of Lippi, who won 4 Super Cups as Juventus coach. Simone has 3 for the Nerazzurri, which becomes 5 counting the 2 with Lazio
The precedents smile on Simone Inzaghi: 3 consecutive Super Cups won, as many lifted in Riyadh, 5 triumphs in total. Nobody like him. The Nerazzurri coach arrives at the Arab match against Atalanta (and in the best case scenario the subsequent final against Juventus and Milan) with his mouth watering. Because by winning, i.e. by making 6 out of 6, Inzaghi would achieve several records in one fell swoop: first of all he would join Mancini and Herrera at the top of the ranking of the most successful coaches in the history of Inter, then he would equalize the tally of Super Cups won by a coach with one single team (equal to Lippi with Juventus at 4), and with 6 Super Cups under his belt the gap would increase with Lippi and Capello (4), Allegri (3), Benitez, Mancini and Eriksson (2). This is why the Nerazzurri coach will rely on the best on Thursday in Riyadh: the goal, after a dream 2024, is to start 2025 on top. With a trophy.

To once again lift the Super Cup in the sky of Riyadh, we were saying, Inzaghi will rely on his faithful. Of course, in the first months of this season the Nerazzurri coach has already amply demonstrated that he can count on all the players in the squad, but it is equally clear that not everyone can put together the same playing time. Up front, the most used are obviously Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram. The former broke free in Cagliari after 54 very long days of goal abstinence and wants to take advantage of the fact that he has freed himself from a very heavy boulder, the latter has become in all respects the main striker of the Nerazzurri. But ThuLa, together, hasn’t scored since May 10th. To trace the last “couple” centre, we need to go back several months, to the championship match against Frosinone last season. The count is starting to get heavy: Lauti and Tikus haven’t scored in the same match for 236 days. It should be underlined that Inter have not suffered from the absence of goals in pairs, also because so far in Serie A as many as 15 different players have scored, more than any other team in the 5 major European leagues. But starting the new year with another title and immediately giving a new shine to ThuLa would put the start of 2025 downhill. And Inzaghi, in the Super Cup, knows how to do it.
