Simone is confirmed, Pippo’s revolution and Father Giancarlo’s tears: Saturday to remember the Inzaghi | First page

A Saturday to remember, a day to frame for the Inzaghi brothers: Pippo and Simone, Simone and Pippo, to celebrate two victories in the first championship, very different from each other but equally and extraordinarily important. Flavored with revenge Deny predictions and forecasts, under the banner of pessimism and skepticism., the one that accompanied Lazio’s summer in a minor tone (in the market) -from the mockery of David Silva to closed but official negotiations with enormous slowness- and the one that accompanies the Benevento coach, until the third experience in Serie A after the disappointments with Milan and Bologna.

CERTAZZA SIMONE – Simone’s path is further consolidated and ennobled by the victory of an Italian Cup and so many Super Cups Who, net of a still incomplete squad and shortened even more by some desertions, won with authority in Cagliari. Confirming himself as one of the most promising Italian coaches in perspective and waiting for the call of a large company to make the final leap in quality. For now, his “great” is called Lazio, who last season even came to be a contender for the Scudetto before the post-lockdown collapse, but who has nevertheless failed to earn an expected Champions League qualification at 13 years.

A NEW PIPPO – Instead, there is the desire to surprise everyone, to want to show that he can be there in Serie A and how for Filippo Inzaghi. The first unfortunate adventure in charge of Milan, which came too early and with a company behind him far from the one with which he had conquered everything as a player; Bad even in Bologna after great in Venice, with a feeling that was never triggered and an unconvincing style of play. “Remember that the difference is made by the playersSuperpippo wanted to point out after the sensational 3-2 at Sampdoria (a first in his career as a coach). in Benevento, with an ambitious president like Vigorito – able to build him a battleship in the last B championship – finally the spark ignites. Best attack and best defense in the last cadet tournament, 18 points ahead of the second. Record after record for Pippo and finally the opportunity to show a different football, finally spectacular and attractive. And the return of Marassi was a manifestation of this change in trend, of an adult mentality, which can take you far. A performance that, combined with Simone’s joy at her first three points of the season, also drew some tears of happiness at the Inzaghi home, especially in dad Giancarlo: “I called home, my dad got the line but he was crying. I wanted to say hello ”. A desire to confirm oneself on the one hand, to amaze and affirm oneself on the other: a Saturday to remember, a day to frame.
