How much impact will Mourinho’s departure have on Inter Milan?

Mourinho's departure is undoubtedly a major blow to Inter Milan. Mourinho's influence on Inter Milan in the past two years is obvious. Can Inter Milan continue to stand at the top of the pyramid without Mourinho?

If Mourinho leaves, the most direct impact on Inter Milan will be reflected in the technical and tactical aspects. Mancini's team had been criticized for its over-reliance on Ibrahimovic in offense, mediocrity in midfield, and lack of offensive means. As soon as Mourinho took over Inter Milan, he planned to copy his 433 tactic. In his words, "433 is a tactic used by big and ambitious clubs." But when the 433 formation was not effective, he decisively returned to the old path of 4312, and continued to dominate Serie A with Ibrahimovic as the core. Although Ibrahimovic left Inter Milan this season, Mourinho was not affected at all. At the beginning of the season, he re-established an offensive system that reasonably distributes the ball and relies on the team with Milito, Eto'o, Sneijder and others as the core, and Giving Sneijder, Maicon and others a high degree of freedom minimizes the negative impact of mediocre midfielders. In the second half of the league, under his leadership, Inter Milan played extremely aggressive tactics such as 433 and 4213, and Inter Milan also became the most offensive team in Serie A with 74 goals in the league. After a season of running-in and just getting the team on the right track, Mourinho's departure is bound to destroy Inter Milan's newly formed tactical system.

In addition to technical and tactical issues, personnel issues are also a potential hidden danger. It is well known that Mourinho is a coach who likes to recruit old teams, and his most likely next club, Real Madrid, happens to have been coveting Maicon for a long time. The commander-in-chief left and abducted the generals in the formation. This was undoubtedly another major blow. What's more, Inter Milan still has a troubled boy like Balotelli. Even Mourinho can barely control this talented and weird boy. Will the future Inter Milan coach be able to train this rebellious boy well? ?

In addition, the most critical and most personal influence that Mourinho has brought to Inter Milan is the team's temperament. Although Mancini's Inter Milan can dominate the league, it has always been notorious as a "softie" in the Champions League. What Mourinho has brought to this team is an extremely tough mental attribute. It was Mourinho's infectious inspiration that Inter Milan was able to hold on and fight through when one player was missing at Camp Nou; it was Mourinho's instillation of winning belief in the team that enabled Inter Milan to win at Stamford Bridge. And return. The collapse of Inter Milan in 2002 has always been a pain in the hearts of Inter Milan fans, but the arrival of Mourinho has completely reshaped the team's belief. Countless reversals and wins have washed away the fragile Inter Milan in the past and replaced it with A tough Iron Army image. But after Mourinho leaves, it is very questionable whether this iron-blooded spirit can continue.

An excellent team must have an outstanding commander. Inter Milan who changes coaches is very likely to fall into a series of chaos, and this giant that just dominated Europe will undoubtedly once again Hit rock bottom. A team as strong as Chelsea has gone through a three-year period of pain. Where will this new generation of Inter Milan go?
