Simone Inzaghi labelled Inter’s October “almost perfect” after they cruised to a 3-0 Serie A win over Sampdoria.
Inter made it seven games without defeat in all competitions, of which they have won six, with a routine victory at San Siro.
Stefan de Vrij, Nicolo Barella and Joaquin Correa found the net to seal the points for Inter, whose next domestic assignment is a Derby d’Italia visit to Juventus.
And Inzaghi is delighted with the form in which they will approach that crucial fixture.
“The team is in good shape, feels confident, is putting together convincing victories, but we must continue,” Inzaghi told Sky Sport Italia.
“We saw nobody is slowing down in Serie A, but our October was almost perfect.
“I really enjoy watching this team play. We have the right shape, we know what we want to do, I’m bringing back players who had been injured, we’re still missing [Marcelo] Brozovic.
“When a coach has options to choose from, that is always good.”
Inter are fifth, eight points adrift of leaders Napoli, and Inzaghi suggested it is too early in the season to know whether they can bridge that gap and challenge to regain the Scudetto.
“We need to check the fixture list from here to the break for the World Cup, there are some tough games, but having said that it’s early days in the season,” added Inzaghi.
“We made mistakes, the others are all going at a great pace, we’ve also got Bayern Munich coming up on Tuesday [in the Champions League] and need to put in a strong performance.”
