A Look Back at Last Season
The 2013 2014 football season saw a solid performance from Inter Milan, but it was nowhere near enough to reach top of the table status. Out of 38 Serie A league games the team posted 15 wins, 15 draws and 8 loses to finish the season with 60 points. This was a far cry from top of the table Juventus that finished the season with 102 points, a staggering 33 wins, 3 draws and only 2 defeats.
The team wearing the Inter Milan home kit did enough to qualify for the Europa League play-off stage, not missing out on European football entirely. However, as 3 times UEFA Champions League winners fans will be looking for a stronger performance during the 2014 2015 campaign.
In preparation for the upcoming season the team has been participating in a series of friendly matches. Yesterday Inter Milan played and beat Prato 1-0 before getting ready to fly to the USA on Wednesday. The USA is playing host to the International Champions Cup, a friendly summer tournament that will be contested by some of the biggest names in European football.
International Champions Cup 2014
The Inter Milan home jersey 2014 2015 is likely to get its 1st official airing during the International Champions Cup in the USA. Inter Milan will be joined by fellow Serie A teams Roma and AC Milan, as well as Spanish football team Real Madrid, Greek side Olymipacos and English Premier League team's Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City in America.
The International Champions Cup 2014 is a chance for fans to keep up to date with the progress of their favorite football teams during the summer break, as well as a low-stakes opportunity for the team to practice and fine-tune their skills. This is the 2nd hosting of the tournament that also gives the popularity of European soccer a boost in the USA. The club will also be hoping to increase sales of the Inter Milan home kit in the USA through this added exposure.
The 8 teams that are partaking in the tournament have been split into 2 groups of 4. Inter Milan has be drawn alongside Manchester United, Roma and Real Madrid, they will play each of these 3 teams once, staring with Real Madrid on Saturday 26th July at the California Memorial Stadium. The winner of each group will play in the final on 4th August in Florida.
The outcome of the International Champions Cup does not majorly influence league or European play for the 2014 2015 season. However, increased American exposure is fantastic for worldwide soccer, and an opportunity to practice in a friendly tournament is a great boost for the participating teams.
Serie A Outlook
As the Inter Milan home jersey 2014 2015 gets it's 1st usage in America the team is still unaware of the outlook of the Serie A tournament fixtures. It is thought that the fixtures for the upcoming season will be announced on 28th July 2014, giving the squad some idea of the balance of games ahead.
A few 'easy' matches and winning results at the start of the season can give such a boost that it impacts the entire year, likewise, 'tough' end of season games can be daunting having a detrimental impact. In the immediate thoughts of the squad are getting through the friendly games, presenting a strong and formidable team, and most importantly arriving home without picking up any season impacting injuries.
