The Nerazzurri romped to the Serie A title by 19 points last season and are fourth this term after six matches, albeitღ they are only tw𓃲o points back of Napoli.
However, they were knocked out in the last ✤16 of the Champions League last term having reached the final in the 2022-23 season.
They continue their latest tilt by welcoming Red Star Belgrade on🌌 Tuesday 🍒and Inzaghi said just finding some rhythm is going to be key for his side.
"It's difficult to win (t🉐he title) and it's even more difficult to win again. But as far as the lads are concerned, they are working with great commitment," Inzaghi🎃 told reporters on Monday ahead of Red Star's visit.
"Then, of course, we sti൩ll lack that continuity that we had, esp♔ecially last year. That continuity that makes the difference to you both in the championship and in the Champions League."
Finding continuity wi🦂ll be even more important in this season's Champions League with the new league phase format.
"Last year after the first two games you were able to take stock and understand hಞow the games could go, because then you knew that in the third and fourth game you would have played the same opponent, home and away," Inzaghi said.
"Now it's a bit of everyone against everyone. It's a winning formula with two extra games, with more difficulties. You can't make calcu𓆏lations, because it's a sort of one-off game."
Those extra European games mean that rotating his team will be of even more importance thi𒁃s season, and Inzaghi is still unsure ab🧔out who will start up front against Red Star.
"I still have to dec📖ide between Lautaro ꦆ(Martinez), (Marcus) Thuram, (Marko) Arnautovic and (Mehdi) Taremi," he said.
"They will probably have a good chance to play all four of t♕hem. I don't know who will start, tomorrow I will have to evalua✅te today's training."
Piotr Zielinski has yet to start a league game this season, but Inzaghi confirmed the midfielder will be in the lineup again🎃st the Serbian side and expects a tough challenge against an outfit who lost their opening league phase game to Benfica.
"It's a te🔯am that started on July 20. They've had nine league games. They've played in t𓃲he preliminaries," Inzaghi said. "It's a very well-trained team, with excellent players."
