Inter are back in Milan and straight back to work, but Italian media warn that the problems exposed by the Supercoppa defeat to Bologna run deeper than tactics or form.
According to Corriere dello Sport, via FCInter1908, there is “no time to switch off.”
Instead, the Nerazzurri must address issues that are fundamentally psychological.
“There is work to be done to resolve the problems,” the paper writes.
Summarising them as “a lack of malice, cynicism and awareness of danger.”
In other words, Inter’s shortcomings are mental, and therefore far more complex to fix.
After Bologna Defeat, Inter Milan Problems Revealed

The analysis stresses that this is not about how Inter play.
The structure and quality are there, but in decisive moments the edge is missing.
Matches are not closed out, warning signs are not always read in time, and opponents are allowed back into games that should already be under control.
The urgency is heightened by the calendar.
January leaves no room for hesitation.
Between now and the 11th, Inter will face Atalanta, Bologna again, and then Napoli in what is shaping up to be a defining head-to-head for the title race.
That is not all.
The month will also close with a dangerous double Champions League clash against Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund.
Indeed, fixtures that will determine Inter’s European future.
For Corriere, the message is clear: quality alone will not be enough.
Unless Inter find sharper instincts and a more ruthless mindset, the margins that keep hurting them will continue to decide their biggest matches.
