Capello Reveals Secret to Inter Milan's 2025 Scudetto Challenge

Fabio Capello shares the key to Inter Milan's success in the Serie A title race, stressing the need for high pressing and intense play to match Napoli and Atalanta.

Capello Reveals Secret to Inter Milan's 2025 Scudetto Challenge

Fabio Capello, a renowned football expert with a wealth of experience managing top clubs such as AC Milan and Juventus, has shared his insights into what Inter Milan must do to challenge for the Serie A title in 2025. Despite Inter’s recent struggles, Capello believes they are still the best team in Italy, but to claim the Scudetto, they must return to their aggressive, high-pressing style and dominate possession on the field.

Inter Milan’s start to 2025 has been less than ideal, including a Supercoppa final loss to AC Milan in Riyadh and a frustrating home draw against Bologna. Nevertheless, Capello is confident that the team can recover and contend for the top spot, provided they regain their previous form.

Capello emphasized, “Inter remains the best team in the league, even though they have faced challenges this year. The real question is whether they are still capable of playing with the intensity and commitment they had in the past. Their recent shift towards defense and counter-attacks has limited their effectiveness. To challenge for the title, they need to return to the pressing style that made them so successful.”

Another key factor for Inter Milan, according to Capello, is the recent injury to midfielder Hakan Çalhanoğlu, who has been instrumental in controlling the tempo and moving the ball forward quickly. Capello believes Çalhanoğlu’s absence has had a significant impact on the team’s play. He also praised Federico Dimarco for his ability to provide crucial passes in the final third, making him a vital part of Inter’s attacking strategies.

Capello's analysis of Inter Milan’s tactics highlights the areas where the club needs to improve in order to reclaim their position at the top of Italian football. By reintroducing their high-pressing, possession-focused game, Capello believes Inter has the potential to challenge the top teams in Serie A, including the formidable Napoli and Atalanta.
