How Luciano Spalletti has made Inter Milan title contenders again

Big match performances

Inter's away win at Roma was a resounding statement to the rest of the league

In 3 matches away against Roma, Napoli, and Juventus, Inter conceded just 1 goal en route to amassing 5 points. Such points could be crucial come May – points collected against fellow changers at their home grounds. Under Spalletti, Inter have risen to the occasion more than a few times; such temperament if retained in the second half of the season could be crucial to their success.

The home match against Chievo was another case in point. Ahead of the match, Juventus’ 1-0 win over Napoli had confirmed that Inter had the chance to go top of the table with a win. Yet, Spalletti’s men thrived at the onset of pressure rather than succumb to it; they eased to a 5-0 rout.
