Inter’s Preseason Prep

After a global tour Inter Milan begins league play on Sunday in what will be the 78th season of the Italian top flight. It’s also number 78 for Inter—the only team in the country to never be relegated.

How do they do it? Any good coach will tell you its no mystery. The difference between Inter capturing a 5th straight Scudetto—last done by Juventus in the 1930’s—and finishing below the top spot is creating a team of unmatched, technical footballers.

Some say it’s luck, and the ball does bounce in mysterious ways at times, but if from training day one a unified Inter push themselves to the limits, destroying their bodies in practice to later glorify them at during a game, can anyone in Italy stop them? They have won the last four league trophies this way, making themselves bigger, stronger, faster, better each year. They know if they put in the work, there is no reason to think the Italian record books won’t eventually all be theirs.
