Inter Milan s "Song of the Veterans", four champions to four majors become runner-up kings

Inter Milan encountered a tragic ending this season, from the original "four championships" to the end of today's four majors, and a season was empty. Inter Milan was accused of becoming the worst "runner-up king" since Leverkusen, the "Sanya King" in 2002. Inter Milan players have a relatively old age, which has become the main reason for their lack of sustained momentum at the end of this season.

As the champion of Serie A last season, Inter Milan has passed the championship title this season one after another. First, he entered the Italian Super Cup final in January this year. With a 2-goal lead, he actually lost 3 goals in a row. In stoppage time, he was defeated by AC Milan, a long-time rival in the same city, 3-2. Coming to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup in April this year, the two Milan players met again, Inter Milan failed to take revenge, and was eliminated 1-4 in two rounds.

Inter Milan's path to defending the Serie A championship was originally the upper hand, but it lost points frequently in April, including losing to Bologna and Roma. The most outrageous thing was that it was tied 2-2 by the relegation team Parma, allowing Napoli to overtake from the back. Even if Inter Milan struggled to catch up at the end of the season, they could not recover the lost ground and ranked second in Serie A with a slight 1 point. Coupled with the disastrous defeat in the Champions League final, he became the tragic protagonist of the other "Sanya King".

Italian media analysis pointed out that Inter's "cause of defeat" was that they rely too much on the veterans in the team. Central defender Francesco Acerbi is 37 years old, midfielder Mkhitaryan and goalkeeper Sommer are also 36 years old, and it is difficult to take into account the physical strength of fighting on multiple fronts. Inter Milan will participate in the Club World Cup in mid-June. It is still a question whether this "old man's corps" can stand it.
