Inter Milan head into the international break with momentum, yet a hint of frustration after the side, coached by Cristian Chivu, find their top gear in the 4-1 win over Cremonese.
The team just delivered a dominant display in Serie A, built on pressing, pace, and clean, direct attacks.
However, the pause arrives now, which means travel, risk of knocks and a brief halt to team bonding.
As highlighted by Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri have flipped their early-season mood.
Training sessions at Appiano are longer and sharper, the press is constant and coordinated and players attack space quickly after regaining the ball.
Moreover, the group looks synchronised in and out of possession and confidence shows.

Under Cristian Chivu, principles are now “planted like stilts.”
Inter press high, then play vertical.
Midfielders back the press with smart positioning and immediate counter-pressure.
Full-backs and centre-backs step in on cue. It all feels “repeatable, not episodic,” which La Gazzetta describe as “key.”
The coach still pushes for more. He wants cleaner details and fewer cheap giveaways. Yet his satisfaction is clear.
The break can still help. It offers recovery time and a reset for those carrying knocks.
Then, the target is simple: pick up where they left off, preserve their edge and turn rhythm into a run.
