Cristian Chivu has announced that Inter, after the disappointment in Europe, aims to restart the league immediately, with today's match against Bologna at 6.00pm. Dall'Ara, however, is a field full of painful memories for the Nerazzurri: it is here that the two championships lost in 2021/22 and 2024/25 occurred, won by Milan and Napoli respectively. Inter, therefore, is preparing to overcome that "ghost" and resume its run in Serie A.
In the context of this match, Inter will welcome back Lewis Ferguson, a player who has always had a strong connection with the club but who has never managed to establish himself for long. In 2024, Inter's interest in Ferguson was evident, but a serious cruciate ligament injury in April interrupted the negotiations. Subsequently the team focused on Zielinski and Frattesi, leaving Ferguson hanging.
The injury transformed Ferguson from an incisive scorer to a midfielder of substance. Before the injury he had scored 13 goals, after only 2, but now he is the engine of the offensive construction. He has played all 593 available minutes this year, becoming the most active midfielder in Serie A. His 408 total passes, of which 393 were successful, and 138 forward passes make him the midfielder with the best passing statistics in Italy. Ferguson is now considered a modern playmaker and a key element in Palladino's strategy.
With today's match, Inter is preparing to demonstrate that it is ready to overcome past difficulties and consolidate its position in Serie A. The result of this match will be decisive for the club's confidence and for the resumption of the race towards national success.
