Of course, it’s not all about Bodø/Glimt at Inter Milan, but there is little doubt that the players and supporters at Serie A’s best club have had a sharp drop in their self-confidence after two losses against a “football mosquito” and debutant in the Champions League. Fortunately, there was a win against the sixth weakest Serie A club in the game after the peel at the San Siro against Bodø/Glimt, but towards the toughest league game of the season, we understand in the Inter coach that he and the players do not exactly ooze the necessary confidence.
Because after two losses against Bodø/Glimt and a win against Genoa, Inter was stopped by another “football mosquito”. Two years ago, Como was down in Serie B, on Tuesday Bodø/Glimt-inspired Cesc Fabregas led Como to a 0-0 draw in the first semi-final of the Coppa Italia against Inter Milan. A game Como deserved to win.

So two losses against Glimt, an expected win against 15th-placed Genoa and a draw against Como, is the prelude to the match Inter Milan have not won in two years: the city derby against AC Milan.
Not only is it a big game against city rivals at the San Siro, Milan are ten points behind in the table and are chasing three points to cut the gap with eleven games left in the season.
Inter coach Cristian Chivu talks about the match that awaits on Sunday.
“Since the beginning of the year, we have worked a lot on the mental preparation for each match, regardless of the opponent. I think we have grown a lot in this regard. We face a strong team, who have had an impressive season so far and have players at the top level, but we will try to be the best version of ourselves,” the Inter coach told the club’s website.
