Klopp's team won the Serie A and the Europa League last season, and their performances in the Coppa Italia and Serie A this season are quite eye-catching, especially Serie A, which has won two rounds ahead of schedule.
It should be said that in the past few years, the decline of Serie A is well known, but Inter Milan's performance in these two seasons has given everyone a sense of hope, especially this season.

But really convinced that Inter Milan will become the hope of the revival of Serie A, it is this semi-final.
In this semi-final, Klopp's team not only demonstrated outstanding overall combat capabilities, and the outstanding overall strength of the team, but also demonstrated tenacious fighting spirit and resilience.
Especially in the last twenty minutes, the fast-paced battle against Southampton was particularly impressive.
"At the post-match press conference, Southampton’s head coach Ancelotti said that Milan’s move was very dangerous. Klopp’s team not only possesses the top strength of Serie A, but also has a show in the European arena. The level of fists and feet."
Gazzetta dello Sport replied Ancelotti's answer in the front page comments.
The No. 1 Italian coach who has coached Juventus and Milan has a very high evaluation of Inter Milan, and he recognizes and affirms Klopp's coaching ability.
Not only that, the special football commentator of Gazzetta dello Sport also conducted an in-depth analysis of Klopp's tactics. He believed that after coaching Inter Milan, the German coach not only led the team to improve, but he was also improving.

Ronald Koeman is worthy of being an old fox. After he succeeded in the opening attack and sneak attack, he started to fight back defensively.
Not to mention that Atletico Madrid couldn't attack, and they really seized several opportunities. Had it not been for the outstanding performance of central defender Otamendi and goalkeeper Courtois, Monaco would have expanded the score long ago.
