Inter Milan's Key Victory Over Napoli
00:00:14
Speaker
So it's a happy new year for Inter. Napoli's unbeaten starts the season is over.
Tactical Brilliance Under Simonin Zaghi
00:00:20
Speaker
What a brilliant performance from Inter. Even better than their performance against Barcelona, right?
00:00:25
Speaker
Oh, absolutely. This was Inter's best performance under Simonin Zaghi, I'd say tactically. It was probably Simonin Zaghi's best game in the Serie A as a manager since his Lazio beat Sariz Juve.
Defensive Masterclass by Inter
00:00:39
Speaker
But Inter were perfect. They were defensively perfect. They found every weakness Napoli had, and they exposed those weaknesses. They hurt Napoli on the counter-attack.
00:00:54
Speaker
The finishing was poor and this game should have, if the result was to correctly reflect what happened on the pitch, this is a game into 1-3-4-0, 3-0 at least. But Inter were simply outstanding and they pulled off a great performance against probably the best team, the best attack in Italy and one of the best attacks in all of Europe.
Rafael Liao's Impact on Milan's Scudetto Race
00:01:18
Speaker
Speaking of great attacks, Rafael Liao takes Milan right back into the Scudetto race. Surely, Milan have to keep him now, no? They have to do everything. They have to find a way to get him to sign this new contract.
Contract Negotiations: Milan & Rafael Liao
00:01:31
Speaker
There does seem to be more optimism now about Liao signing a new deal with Milan. He's got seven million a year offer now, so it's an improved offer. The issue remains, though, is that the money owed to sporting Lisbon, it's a lot of money.
00:01:45
Speaker
who pays it, and Liao wants the club that he signs his next contract with to pay that money. Milan obviously don't want to pay it, so they need to find a way to work that out, but Milan have to get him to stay, they have to. In this game against Saleni Turner, he was unplayable, and he showed it to the World Cup, even though he didn't play much, just how great he is. He is a top-class, potentially world-class player, and Milan have to keep him.
