Inter Milan’s ruthless display: Cremonese swept away at San Siro

An extraordinary attacking performance and relentless tempo: Chivu’s Inter Milan dismantles Cremonese with power, precision, and pace

A brilliant night at San Siro. Inter Milan delivered a breathtaking performance, overwhelming Cremonese with energy, creativity, and intensity from the very first minute. The Nerazzurri created a flurry of chances and maintained an impressive rhythm throughout the match.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport via Fcinter1908 highlighted:

“Since the defeat to Juventus, Inter Milan have scored 13 goals and conceded only 2 — one when leading Sassuolo 2-0 and another yesterday at 4-0. 

If the attacking output was already massive before, the team has now found even greater compactness. With the not-insignificant contribution of Manuel Akanji, now a regular starter at the expense of Yann Bisseck, and a more reliable replacement for Pavard, whom no one seems to be missing.”

The minor touch of overconfidence up front and a small lapse in focus at the end are considered mere details. The Cremonese, who hadn’t beaten Inter Milan at San Siro in thirty years, were outclassed in every area.

A relentless start, a team in full control

As La Gazzetta dello Sport further noted:

“Inter Milan’s blistering start stunned Nicola’s side — a team perhaps too ambitious on paper with two forwards plus Vázquez — which never managed to find answers to Inter Milan ’s usual strengths: high pressing, voracious ball recovery, vertical attacking play, and three-pass transitions leading straight to goal. 

The Nerazzurri executed these patterns at lightning speed, as if they had unlocked a new level in a video game.”

At San Siro, there were few obstacles for Chivu’s men — and even when there were, they didn’t simply avoid them, they bulldozed through them like a steamroller.

Chivu’s Inter Milan: rotation, depth, and total confidence

Another defining aspect of Chivu’s new Inter Milan is the expanded rotation compared to the Inzaghi era. So far, 22 players have featured in the opening stretch of the season.

The match also saw Davide Frattesi start for the first time, Luis Henrique getting half an hour (after a subdued outing against Cagliari), and Diouf making a brief appearance — though his misplaced touch unfortunately led to Bonazzoli’s consolation goal.

These rotations are helping Inter Milan maintain intensity, adaptability, and collective focus, with every player ready to contribute.

Chivu’s signature: power, fluidity, and confidence

Chivu’s Inter Milan is shaping a clear identity: a team that presses with purpose, attacks vertically, and plays with collective conviction. It’s a version of Inter Milan that not only dominates — it dictates the rhythm of Serie A.
