Inter Milan Resurgence Primarily Depends On Italy & Argentina Megastars Return To Form | OneFootball

With Inter Milan bidding to return to form, the spotlight has fallen on star duo Lautaro Martinez and Nicolo Barella.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, they could be crucial to Inter’s hopes of overcoming a dreadful start to the season.

Despite demolishing Torino on the opening Serie A weekend, last season’s runners-up already trail the leading duo by six points.

Indeed, Cristian Chivu has overseen the club’s worst start to a new league campaign in 14 years.

Defeats to Udinese and Juventus have cast doubt on his credentials, but there’s still time to get back on track.

Nicolo Barella shoulders part of the blame for Inter’s loss at Juventus.

Indeed, the diminutive midfielder was merely a shadow of his former self, forcing Chivu to replace him after halftime.

Moreover, Lautaro Martinez left the pitch midway through the second half, with Ange-Yoan Bonny taking his place.

It was a frustrating game for El Toro, who couldn’t impact proceedings despite his best effort.
