Arturo Vidal’s brilliant game, marred by two rude mistakes by his teammates. It did not matter how much he ran, nor all the balls he removed, much less the key passes he gave: Inter Milan fell to Milan in a new version of the Derby della Madonnina. A 1-2 against that had as a great figure Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the self-described Benjamin Button, who converted the double that leaves Milan leaders of Serie A, while his archrival sends him to sixth position.
The inexhaustible Swedish striker solved the derby early. Two failures in both attack and defense allowed Ibrahimovic to use his immense quality to put down a Neroazzurro side that seemed not to know where he was standing. Antonio Conte’s managers were still stretching when Milan, with a pure backlash, sentenced the commitment.
It was at 13 ′ when Ibra’s speed surprised Inter behind. He gained speed, reached the area, and after a footwork he received a kick from Kolarov when danger was not yet imminent. A penalty given by the Serbian that Zlatan was in charge of converting in double instance, after Handanovic stopped the initial shot.
An overwhelming blow that shocked all the Inter players, mainly Perisic. It is the only explanation for his failed individual play, for his inability to give up the ball when the possibility of success for his country was minimal. His selfishness resulted in a loss of the ball, a new counterattack, an exquisite cross from Leao, and another goal from Ibrahimovic. It was minute 16 ′ and Conte’s were already falling 2-0.
The Croatian redeemed himself with a drop on the left and a cross for Lukaku, who did not miss in front of the goal in the small area. The discount woke up the neroazzurro, who seized the ball to go in search of the tie. Milan, meanwhile, led by veteran Ibrahimovic, waited for the counterattack to scratch any chance of sealing the match.
It was during these passages where the best version of Vidal appeared. With a commendable effort in the midfield, the King became indispensable both in coverage and in game creation. Even Hakimi was allowed to attend exquisitely, but he wasted the pass with a deflected header. The one from San Joaquin completed 86% accurate passes and four interceptions, all in 83 minutes played. And it is that in the absence of seven to go, he was replaced by Alexis Sánchez, who could not change the fate of the match.
