Inter's defensive woes: 14 goals conceded in eight matches

Inter has conceded 14 goals in eight matches across Serie A and the Champions League this season, following a 4-3 home defeat to Club Brugge, marking their second loss of the campaign, both in European competition. The defensive issues extend beyond goalkeeper Martinez's errors, as the entire backline struggles. Players like Akanji, Bastoni, Bisseck, Pavard, Stones, and Carlos Augusto are often left isolated in one-on-one situations, abandoning the team's traditional collective defensive approach. With zero points from two Champions League games, Inter has no margin for error in the remaining group stage fixtures. Coach Cristian Chivu faces his first major test, though he previously demonstrated strong crisis management skills.
