The story began several years ago, precisely on December 13, 2018. The young club president decided to appoint a prominent Italian manager as the leader of Inter—not just the best option at the time but arguably the best in all eras. This manager, Giuseppe Marotta, faced skepticism due to his history with a rival club, along with rumors and controversies that could fill a best-selling book.

But with patience and planning, step by step, he transformed Inter into a team that is now admired almost everywhere—a team that showcases unity, empathy, and quality. Oddly, this admiration is less visible in Italy, where drama and controversy often overshadow beautiful play. In Italy, little attention is paid to coordinated player movements, role switches, defensive coverage, intense pressing by forwards, or the leadership of the midfield maestro. But never mind, these discussions are repetitive and not worth debating.

Let’s focus on the beautiful aspects. The story continued with the arrival of a capable coach—one who now leads a team competing closely with Inter. We still don’t know what will happen in today’s match against Bologna. Finally, the long-awaited Serie A title arrived, but the European journey, marked by a bitter Europa League final, is best forgotten.

When the then-coach decided to leave—a decision influenced by financial constraints in transfers—Marotta turned to Simone Inzaghi. A coach from a high-pressure team like Lazio, with innovative tactical ideas. Marotta believed in him, but the fans were doubtful. Inzaghi’s young age and limited experience managing a club like Inter, which is like a turbulent sea, left everyone worried.

Inter only faltered once, in February 2023—a season full of defeats. But they endured. Inzaghi built a team that reached the Champions League final and formed a group now praised everywhere. This group isn’t just united on the field; they are friends in real life too. Unlike some past teams that only came together for victories and didn’t even greet each other, these Inter players are true companions.

Respect is paramount in this team. They fight, run, and sweat for the badge on their chest. Tardelli says this Inter reminds him of Italy’s World Cup-winning team. Many fans say this team, these players, this Inter under Simone Inzaghi and Giuseppe Marotta’s management, will remain eternal in memories.
