Antonio Conte’s Inter failed to break through to Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta. The Nerazzurri of Milan after taking the lead with Lautaro Martínez, who headed in an assist to Young’s kiss, was trapped by the Goddess thanks to the goal of the Russian Miranchunk in the first joy in Serie A. Inter, despite some problems physicality of all his forwards, he managed to play a good game, he could have scored the 2-0 but a bit of imprecision, a bit of bad luck and Sportiello’s ability kept the game that Atalanta punctually in the balance managed to get to the day.
The usual problems and ruthless numbers
L ‘Bury He did not enchant this first part of the season, especially in defense, with the beauty of the 16 goals conceded between the championship and the Champions League: 11 in Serie A and five in Europe. In the league there are only three victories (against Fiorentina, Benevento and Genoa), three draws against Lazio, Parma and Atalanta and one defeat in the fiery derby against Milan. In the Champions League, the winning table remains at 0, two draws against Borussia Moenchengladbach and Shakhtar Donetsk plus a 3-2 defeat against Real Madrid.
Conte’s team, last season’s best defense in A leagueIt seems that it is no longer her and before the first push of the opponents the net usually suffers as it happened against Atalanta de Gasperini. Certainly the injuries, the coronavirus infections, the delay in the preparations and a bit of bad luck are not helping Inter, which after the break will have to change gears and try to get the most out of a month of fire between the 22 of November and December 23, before the Christmas holidays.
Count angry
As always, or as often happens, it is the coaches who step on the bench when things are not exactly going the right way. Also this time “One less man” This week it is the Salento coach who seems unable to find the key to his team’s problem. At the end of the game, the former Juventus and coach of the Italian national team angrily commented on those who consider him “different” and with less bite than in the recent past:“To those who say that I am more reflective and that I have less competitive anger, I recommend removing the wine from the table and also the spirits and the coffee maker”, The sting of Antonio.
“I did not expect any reaction after Madrid, because we did a good performance there, we only miss in terms of results. Today the same with Atalanta that is a strong team and it is difficult to play against them. We failed in instinct. Killer in front of them. to the door “, his comment on a match that Inter could have win but once again he couldn’t close, as he often does.
“Aren’t there the games of the past? You have to take into account the strength and skill of the rivals. They are good at one-on-one. However, the fact that more is expected from Inter means that within a year that everyone has come to fear us. We have to be better at reading the games because the coach cannot always be on the field to say how and what to do. When we conceded the goal there was a moment of confusion and this should not There are times when I try to go find the second balls and I don’t always play low, sometimes we don’t understand that in certain situations we have to do under necessity “, the Count thought of him performance of his boys.
It is forbidden to make mistakes
The national team break could also help Inter and Conte recharge their batteries in trying to find acceptable fitness, especially for some key men. From November 22 to December 23, the Nerazzurri will play the beauty of 10 games over 31 days between the league and Champions League. In Europe you will no longer be able to make mistakes as you will have to add at least 7 points to pass the round, but even in Serie A you can no longer play with fire.
The matches against Turin (home), Sassuolo (away), Bologna (home), Cagliari (away), Spezia and Naples (home) and Verona absent will be decisive for the fate of Conte’s team, who will not be able to afford to lose more points on the road having won only 12 of the 21 available.
With all the extenuating circumstances of the case, the truth is that Conte’s team needs to find serenity, rhythm and Balance. Only in this way will Inter be able to be the admired one again last season with second place and the final of the Europa League achieved and lost, perhaps undeservedly, against Lopetegui’s Sevilla. Certainly also the Salento coach will have to put something more into it than he has done so far since he will no longer be able to afford to take false steps if he does not want to lose the possibility of dethroning the team. Juventus after 9 years of undisputed dominance.
