After the draw for the Champions League, the second round of Serie A began.
Inter Milan defeated Empoli 2-0 in the away game thanks to goals from Mata and Diego Milito, achieving their second consecutive win in the league.
Diego Milito scored his first goal for Inter Milan in Serie A.
After the game, Diego Milito had the highest score in the fan ratings on Inter Milan's official website.
"As a former player of Li Ang's at Sporting de Gijón, Diego Milito did not disappoint. He continued the 'good tradition' of the players from Sporting de Gijón performing well at Inter Milan." After the game, Milan Sport commented.
After this round of the league, there was a two-week break in the league. It was time for the national team to play. Inter Milan had a large number of national footballers. Out of the 24 regular players in the first team, 16 players were selected for the senior national team.
It was worth mentioning that after Mata was selected for the senior national team of Spain, Carlos received a call from the senior national team of Spain for the first time.
A large number of national footballers were called up by the national team, so much so that Li Ang had to be seconded from the reserves and youth teams to the first team to barely meet the team's training needs.

In the previous two rounds of the league, Juventus, who had returned to Serie A, won both games. Turin's media praised the team: the Juventus that ruled Serie A is back!
However, in the third round of the league, Juventus lost to Udinese at home with a score of 1-0.

Inter Milan's nemesis, AC Milan, remained undefeated after three rounds of the league. However, with one win and two draws, AC Milan could only rank fifth in the league. It was only three rounds into the league and they were already four points behind Inter Milan.
This made AC Milan's fans very unhappy. They were the European champions and the strongest team in Europe. This kind of performance was really undeserved.
There was news that AC Milan's boss, Berlusconi, was very dissatisfied with the current situation. According to Berlusconi, AC Milan had conquered Europe, and now it was time to take back the hegemony of Serie A. He was very unhappy that they had been suppressed by their rivals in the same city for two years.
Corriere dello Sport, which wanted to see the world in chaos, even said that if AC Milan could not narrow the points gap with Inter Milan as soon as possible, AC Milan's manager, Carlo Ancelotti's position would no longer be stable.
AC Milan's fans were very unhappy, but Inter Milan's fans were very happy. So what if they were the European champions? They were still four points ahead of us. Besides, in last season's Champions League, Inter Milan only took a nap. They would make a comeback this season.
Inter Milan's fans had never had such confidence in the team. Li Ang's Inter Milan era was the happiest and most exalted time for Inter Milan's fans in recent years.

After three rounds of the league, Inter Milan was going to play the first away game of the Champions League group stage.
They were going to challenge the Turkish league's powerhouse team, Fenerbahçe, in an away game.
Away games against Turkish teams were never easy.
Li Ang had a deep understanding of the horror of Turkey's home ground. Previously, when he was at Sporting de Gijón, although they won in Turkey in an away game, the process was not easy.
The first game of the Champions League group stage was an expedition to Turkey. This was a small test for Inter Milan. Of course, for Fenerbahçe, the first game of the Champions League group stage was against the powerful Inter Milan. They certainly did not like it.
For this game, Li Ang sent out all the main players. His purpose was very clear. Win the game and make a good start on the road to the new Champions League season.
In the end, in the away game, Inter Milan defeated Fenerbahçe 2: 1, making a good start on the new Champions League season.
The result was good. The process of the game was not easy. Inter Milan did not defeat Fenerbahçe until the last moment of the game with Mata's goal.
In addition, the team captain, Zanetti, left the field due to injury. The post-match examination showed that the Argentine would be out for a month due to the injury.
Zanetti's injury was an unexpected situation. Fortunately, the team still had Mai Kong. It did not have a substantial impact on Inter Milan's strength.
