In the 2-0 Serie A victory over Como on Sunday, November 8, Inter showed a different side compared with their more aggressive performances. Cristian Chivu chose not to keep pushing the team forward, lowering its defensive block and building the match around order, compact distances and control of space.

The game rewarded this approach. The Nerazzurri were willing to wait for their opponents more often, protecting their own half with greater care and looking for the right moment to attack. It was a more reactive Inter, but not a passive one: the final 2-0 scoreline confirmed the effectiveness of the plan and the team’s ability to adapt to the demands of the match. After the derby defeat, Chivu found a concrete tactical response.

The win over Como came after the 3-1 defeat to Milan on October 31 and the convincing 3-0 victory against Feyenoord in the Champions League on November 3. Inter now face the international break, with their next fixture scheduled for Sunday, November 22 at 20:45 away to Atalanta in Serie A’s twelfth round.
