With both opponents sitting near the summit of Serie A, Inter's recent form and tactical evolution have turned heads.
As of mid-October 2025, Napoli lead the Serie A table, followed closely by Roma in second. Inter sit in fourth place, stacked just behind AC Milan after six matches.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter have transformed into "a real goal-scoring machine," capable of finding the net through multiple players rather than relying on a single star. The paper cites their attack "produces and delivers consistently," attributing that to a strong collective identity and the leadership of the coach.
Chivu's tactical framework has allowed forwards and attacking midfielders to share goal-scoring duties. His rotations keep opposition defences guessing, and the front line remains unpredictable and fluid. The result: a steady stream of chances and goals from diverse sources.
Roma, coached by Gian Piero Gasperini, and Napoli, under Antonio Conte, both boast potent offensive systems. But Inter's balance between creative freedom and structural discipline has drawn praise. The report also underscores Chivu's man-management: every attacking player stays alert, motivated, and dangerous.
"Inter are not just efficient, they are evolving," La Gazzetta states, pointing to Chivu's growing influence across the squad.
With critical games approaching, Inter's fusion of tactical harmony and attacking firepower could prove decisive in their bid to climb the Serie A ladder and sustain a credible challenge for the title.
