Inter with Spezia, Conte tries to overtake
- Overtaking mission for a Christmas at the top of the rankings. Inter welcomes Spezia at San Siro but above all focuses on Milan's first place (committed against Sassuolo) in a Milanese head-to-head. Conte wants to extend the streak of five consecutive successes, trying the new assault on the Rossoneri rivals to regain the top of the standings that in the last Serie A he had left at Juventus after 24 days (occupying the first place alone after the 14th and 15th round) and also to permanently put the burning disappointment of elimination in the Champions League behind them. The reaction, however, has already been there. And this is demonstrated by the roadmap of Lukaku and his teammates in the last rounds of the championship: after the break for the national teams, Inter have always won in Serie A, with 14 goals scored and only 4 conceded. Conte now seems to prefer to talk about the results on the pitch, so much so that he does not hold the traditional press conference on the eve of the match: a choice dictated above all by the many close engagements, which would have led the coach to present himself in front of the microphones 8 times within 11 days. .
