Inter Milan began their Serie A title defense emphatically, beating newly promoted Monza 4-1 at the San Siro. Hakan \u00c7alhano\u011flu, Piotr Zieli\u0144ski, Francesco Pio Esposito and Yann Bisseck all scored as Cristian Chivu\u2019s side secured a fourth victory in their last five meetings with Monza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c7alhano\u011flu Gives Inter the Perfect Start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inter entered the new campaign looking to win back-to-back Serie A titles<\/strong> for the first time since Jos\u00e9 Mourinho\u2019s treble-winning side in 2009\/10, and it took just six minutes for the champions to take control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andy Diouf, operating at right wing-back following Denzel Dumfries\u2019 departure, found Hakan \u00c7alhano\u011flu<\/strong> on the edge of the penalty area. The Turkish midfielder unleashed a powerful strike beyond Semuel Pizzignacco to make it four goals in his last four appearances against Monza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visitors refused to fold, however. Gustavo Varela used his strength to escape Manuel Akanji before firing into the bottom corner just before the half-hour mark, sending the teams into the interval level at 1-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inter Punish Monza After Half-Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inter regained the lead only three minutes after the restart following a costly mistake from Pizzignacco. The goalkeeper failed to properly deal with Federico Dimarco\u2019s cross, allowing Piotr Zieli\u0144ski<\/strong> to lift the loose ball into the net cleverly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, the Serie A champions took complete control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diouf registered his second assist of the evening when his cutback was brilliantly flicked home by Francesco Pio Esposito<\/strong> for 3-1. Esposito then turned provider, holding up possession before finding Yann Bisseck<\/strong>, who powered a left-footed finish into the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Akanji later struck the crossbar with a header as Inter threatened to make the scoreline even more emphatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chivu’s New-Look Inter Make a Statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the four goals, the performance offered encouraging signs for Inter boss Cristian Chivu<\/strong>. Diouf impressed in his new wing-back role, while Esposito contributed both a goal and an assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chivu also handed debuts to summer signings John Stones and Aleksandar Stankovi\u0107<\/strong>, with the latter following in the footsteps of his father and Inter legend Dejan Stankovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Monza, meanwhile, their return to Serie A began with a difficult reminder of the quality required in Italy’s top flight. Their spirited first-half display kept them competitive, but defensive mistakes proved costly after the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the Result Means<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Inter Milan 4-1 Monza result<\/strong> gives the Nerazzurri an ideal opening to their Serie A campaign and an early statement of their determination to retain the Scudetto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monza can take encouragement from Varela’s goal and their first-half resistance, but they’ll need to address their second-half collapse quickly as they look to establish themselves following promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inter Milan 4-1 Monza<\/strong> was exactly the start the defending champions wanted. \u00c7alhano\u011flu set the tone with an early rocket before Zieli\u0144ski, Esposito and Bisseck turned a competitive encounter into a convincing victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Inter, the message is clear: the champions are ready to defend their crown. For Monza, the hard work required to survive back in Serie A has already begun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
