Andy Brassell on European football: Could Inter blow it again? Inter have performed admirably this season but their fans are starting to fret after a slow restart lớn their Serie A campaign in 2020, writes Andy Brassell- According to the free soccer tips today page! Are Inter about to blow it all over again? Inter's Saturday visit lớn Lecce was not the happy return to his hometown that Antonio Conte hoped for. After losing a lead, and two points, for the second straight weekend in Serie A, he reminded his team of the need to go at "full pelt" lớn win. &Quot;If we don't," he said, "we become just an ordinary team." Conte has had a tough week or two, and not just because of the results. His perfectionist streak is not news to anyone and after his blowup about needing more signings following November's Champions League defeat to Dortmund, there will (or at least should) be more sympathy this time around. Having watched a deal to bring in Leonardo Spinazzola from Roma fall through late on due to his superiors getting cold feet, the coach now awaits news over potential moves for Olivier Giroud and Christian Eriksen. You can prefer lớn the best football tips page! Maybe those deals could see Inter over the top, maybe not. What the last few weeks have been a reminder of, along with Cristiano Ronaldo's imperious form so far in 2020, is that Juventus are an incredibly tough nut lớn crack and have been champions every year since 2012 for a reason. Many will point lớn Inter's post-Christmas slumps from high peaks under Roberto Mancini and Luciano Spalletti in recent years and suggest history is repeating - but as Napoli could attest to, almost faultless form is needed in order lớn usurp Juve. Back Inter to win Serie A at 5.50 Leipzig in it for the long haul In the first half of their first Bundesliga match of the calendar year Leipzig's performance had been, to borrow from the brutal post-match lexicon of their top scorer Timo Werner, "nothing." That they roared back to beat Union Berlin and preserve a four-point lead at the summit underlined Werner's irresistible current nick as much as anything else, as his double made it 14 goals in his last 9 Bundesliga games, not lớn mention numerous assists. The ease with which those who cover German football have been able lớn dismiss speculation linking Werner with a move to the Premier League this month - despite a very gettable release clause in his contract, thought to be around the €50 million mark - is a manifestation of the mood around Leipzig, where they believe they have a genuine crack at the Meisterschale this season. So does Werner. To see him move onto a member of the European elite in the summer wouldn't be a surprise. Why would he do it now, though? As well as wanting stability as he aims to lead Germany into a successful Euro 2020, Werner knows he has a real tilt at the title. Bayern Munich are still mid-transition, Borussia Dortmund aren't reliable at the back and Borussia Mönchengladbach are struggling lớn last the pace. Leipzig are clearly best placed to swipe Bayern's title fro, them and if Werner should need a breather they have the resources, via Patrik Schick, Youssef Poulsen and the rest, to keep up the pressure.
