Inter Milan lost to Juventus 3-4 away and suffered a two-game losing streak in Serie A. The Italian national derby process was ups and downs. The away team once scored twice by Calhanoglu and Marcus Tulam's header to overtake the score 3-2, but was eventually equalized by the home team with Kevren Tulam's header, and the young player Ajici shot from a long time in stoppage time. Such a failure method may have a more severe blow to the team's morale than the result itself. Historical data shows that since Serie A implemented the three-point system, Inter Milan has only lost two games in the first three rounds of the season, and both of them ended in a mid-way change of coaches. One was in the 2000-01 season, after Lippi was fired, Tardelli took over, and the team finally ranked fifth; the other was in the 2011-12 season, Gasperini was dismissed from lightning due to a bad start, and the team experienced three coaches in the following season, and finally ranked sixth.

Now, whether Zivo faces similar risks has become the focus of attention of the outside world. Questions are gradually arising on social platforms, and some media have also begun to analyze their coaching issues. For example, the behavior of Toulam refusing to celebrate after scoring a goal has triggered speculation about the condition of the locker room. Some people believe that if the team's problems come from internal unity rather than strength, the coach's situation will be more difficult. Previously, Thiago Mota was dismissed from Juventus due to tense management methods and player relations. Inter Milan's management is bound to be alert to similar situations repeating. The probability assessment of the data agency's Alignment of the middle of the class was also adjusted from 6.0 at the beginning of the season to 3.75. Although this number is still in a relatively safe range, the pressure on losing streak, especially after the national derby, cannot be underestimated. After the game, the club's two actions marked the team's "extraordinary state": one was to break the convention and not take a holiday after the game day, and the other was that many senior executives collectively went to the training base for a long-term meeting with the coaching team. Although the Milan Sports Daily said that the senior management did not directly question Ziwo and attributed the loss to the poor handling of the players' details, the content of the meeting triggered two interpretations: one is that the senior management requires the team to rebound quickly in the Champions League to avoid the performance crisis from turning into a psychological crisis; the other is that Ziwo is encouraged to use people boldly, especially new players should be given more opportunities.

Some media pointed out that the current players in the team, with 80 million to 85 million euros, are sitting on the bench, and as many as 9 people in the starting lineup have participated in the Champions League final and suffered a crushing defeat. This conservative strategy is inconsistent with the club's expectations. Zivo showed a tendency to reuse new players in pre-season warm-up matches. Young players such as Seba, Pio, and Enrique all received opportunities and performed well. Aslani even became the top five players in the team to create opportunities. However, in the main competition, his employing strategy has become conservative, which is different from the club's original intention of hoping to bring new changes. According to comprehensive analysis, Ziwo's current coaching position is still stable, but the team has entered an emergency adjustment stage due to record pressure. He needs to find a balance between implementing the club's long-term plan and finding results as soon as possible to avoid repeating the same mistakes. The club hired Qi Wo Ben to shift from "immediate combat power orientation" to "local legend + youth training training", and value his cultural fit and tactical innovation. Now he urgently needs to fulfill this expectation in actual combat. Do you think Ziwo can turn the situation around in the short term and win the trust of the locker room and the senior management again?
