Inter Milan is about to start a final qualifying with the River Plate team.

The bad news is that although Inter Milan is not as good as in the previous game, there are still Bisek, Cialhanolu and Zelinsky, and Vlatesi, Paval and Turam who are still out of the game.

The good news is that Dumfries returns from injury and has a high probability of starting.

Recently, many Inter Milan players have accepted various interviews, such as Barrera, Sucic, etc. Due to space limitations, I will not list them one by one here. I will quote it when I have the opportunity to talk about specific players in the future.

The deepest impression on me are the three passages of three players - Mkhitaryan, Dumfries, and Valentine Caboni.

First of all, when Mkhitaryan was interviewed by the Republic, the reporter asked, "Did you decide when to retire?" Mkhitaryan said: "I don't know how long I can play. Inter Milan still has a one-year contract. As long as they don't kick me out, I will stay (laughs). Where will I go after leaving Inter Milan? I will retire. I don't want to lower my level and will not go back to the Armenian League to play football again. I am not interested in going to Arabia. I am bluntly speaking, I love football for games, not money. I want to prove my value."

36-and-a-half-year-old Mkhitaryan played 49 games in each line last season, and played in the top five of the team.

Experts judged that Mkhitaryan's playing time will definitely be shortened in the new season. In the first two battles led by Ziwo, there were changes in the midfield.

has been introduced before that Ziwo values ​​"between the two lines" (forward line and midfield line). Fans who have seen Inter play in Urawa are very clear that the Nerazzurri can hold Urawa in half for 80 minutes and play an 8-2 ball possession because Inter Milan is at the top of the opponent's penalty area, and there are always 3-5 players who interspers repeatedly, making the opponent's front line unable to "pop out".

This requires more running and endurance, which is hard to imagine. The coach has this guiding ideology, and Mkhitaryan can support the multi-line battle throughout the season.

A veteran who is about to retire has gradually shortened his playing time, which is in line with sports common sense. However, the veteran has the mentality of "retiring in a year, cherishing every minute, staying in Inter Milan to pursue his dreams is far better than making money in Saudi Arabia", which may make him do something amazing when he stands in this last shift.

Mkhitaryan also has a very active locker room role. In an exclusive interview, Sucic revealed that Mkhitaryan knew many foreign languages ​​and was the translator and assistant to many new players. The veteran also said: "We have more experience and will show new stars such as Caboni how to improve and whether they want to grow depends on themselves." It is also a good thing for new stars to have such a "big brother".

Dumfries was interviewed by "Milan Sports" and the reporter asked, "In terms of data, the 2024-25 season is your best season"? Dunfer replied: "This is the case in terms of data, but from the performance, I am not completely satisfied. I must and want more assists and give the forward more passes. I hope to learn from Dimarco..."

11 goals and 6 assists, which is the best season since Dunfer joined Inter Milan (23-24 season, 4 goals and 6 assists; 22-23 season, 2 goals and 7 assists; 5 goals and 7 assists in the 21-22 season).

But Feiyi was not satisfied and thought he had fewer assists. Even if his 6 assists were priceless, such as two assists against Barcelona.

For several months, Dunfer, who is the representative of Inter Milan's "Mesozoic Player", has received a lot of praise. But Dunfer himself was dissatisfied with his performance and hoped to work hard to improve in the new season.

Anyone who follows Dumfer Inter Milan's performance in four years knows that his overall strength has been improving. If he always had this attitude of "no matter how the outside world praised it, he had to know what he did not do well", he had reason to believe that he could continue this momentum. In the battle against Urawa, Valentine Caboni scored Inter Milan's first goal. After the cruciate ligament surgery, he scored the goal after returning.

Nowadays, Inter Milan public opinion circle is discussing heatedly: whether to leave Valentine?

There are many people who support him and think that if Inter Milan plays 3421 in the new season, the team has no money to buy star midfielder. Instead of scratching a "cheap lottery" with great risk, it is better to keep Caboni Little to take a rotation.

But more people support him to leave the team, because Caboni Jr.'s technology and inspirational talent are visible to the naked eye. He needs more stable and continuous playing time when he recovers from a serious injury, and needs patience, tolerance and room for mistakes. Staying in a team like Inter Milan with a harsh public opinion environment may affect his recovery progress, progress speed and growth ceiling.

Today, "Milan Sports" stated that in the new season, Caboni Jr. is likely to stay with Pio.

However, I personally agree with Biasin's statement: Zivo asked Marotta to postpone the relevant operations of the two, and also informed the two new stars in person: first focus on playing the Club World Cup. After the competition, the coach will decide with them where to go next season.

However, Italian media and fans are not patient to wait, and now they want to know whether the two new stars will stay or leave.

So for several days, the reporter chased Caboni and asked, "Will you stay at Inter Milan as a substitute, or transfer?" The new star replied: "You should ask the team, I just want to train now, and after being absent for so long, I really enjoy that feeling (step on the lawn)."

This is a good attitude.

A child who has been threatened in his career after serious injury scored the ball just after he returned. What a difficult thing? How much he has paid for this and how much he has endured, how can he explain it in just a few words!

Without this kind of diligence of "training is enjoyment", if someone else is bedridden for more than half a year, his figure is out of shape and gaming, he might be useless!

Moreover, "Since you have agreed to concentrate on playing football with the coach, you will not be distracted by the transfer", it is also the correct attitude..

Back then, Seba Esposito was also a talented child and suffered injuries at the beginning of his career. He was the main force before he was injured and could not play after he was injured. At that time, Seba was unable to calm down and was busy complaining and making noise, and embarked on a vicious cycle of "the less serious training, the less he could not get out of the predicament." Later he admitted that he had paid a heavy price, hoping that Caboni would take it as a warning.

In summary, Inter Milan's three-generation middle-aged and young players, veterans who are about to retire still have dreams, and the middle-aged generation, which set a career high, still longs for progress. Young people who are suffering from disasters know that the only way to get out of the predicament is to sweat heavily... This indicates that the working atmosphere and upward spirit of the Inter Milan team have not changed.

When a group of workaholics with a positive attitude and no fear of hard work are always simpler. This is the hope for Inter Milan in the new season.
