Here comes theBury The one who likes it, the one who wins, but especially the one who acts and thinks as a team. Practice resolved almost completely in the first quarter of an hour with a goal from Alexis Sanchez me Chiriches own goal, closed definitively in the second half with the timely conclusion of Gagliardini to crown a perfect reboot. Lukaku saved, Eriksen definitely sidelined, Inter could, however, have turned around.
THE MATCH
Define the circadian cycle of this Inter is really a feat for scientists high academy. Sleep and wakefulness of this team alternate seconds indecipherable logics: deep sleep in the first half against Torino, total dream on the bloody night of the defeat with Real Madrid, a very adrenalin in this away game in Reggio Emilia that promised to be tall difficulty coefficient. In a quarter of an hour, Inter have two goals ahead. The first is a comfortable support by Alexis Sánchez from a subway, benefiting from an action by Lautaro Martínez copy by technique and determination. The second is one unfortunate detour de Chiriches in a very tight center of Vidal. Hard to find a quarter of an hour done so well from Conte’s team, let’s get back to it performance this season.
But between the first and the second goal there is much Inter, in quality and quantity. There is a Perisic raid on the left with powerful diagonal deviated from advice. And there is also one page of pure poetry, because in the tenth minute, just beforescheduled draw Diego Maradona, the Argentine number 10 of a team that has historically had many good Argentines, is very close to scoring with a play from the highest school: soft balloon for Lautaro Martinez, slightly out. In this world Nothing happens by chance.
Sassuolo crumbs start and spread across the pitch when Inter is ahead 2-0 and start to breathe a little. It’s the moment that Conte can go prouder, not so much for the score, as for the attitude of your computer that seems to suddenly find that compactness is that mutual reciprocity of intention that had often been lacking in this group. Sassuolo grows in intensity but Inter held out well, risk a little just for two Djuricic initiatives (one stick and a Handanovic parade) and a Toljan entrance on the right, while on the other side there is only some impromptu appearances, like that of Vidal who pull high from the edge. But Conte leaves his mark in the half-time locker room definitely more positive compared to recent releases: more gear, more game. more security on their own media. It is clear that there has been a confrontation between the manager and the players after the painful defeat on Wednesday.
You get used to one easily comfortable condition. It’s true for humans, it’s also true for soccer teams. It is something natural for Inter start to reflect about the next far from home German Champions League. Natural, but not very productive and still risky. Sassuolo with an ever higher center of gravity, Inter dedicated to a moderate attitude but never completely crushed. Inter always on time in a pressing Just a little lower than it used to be Bury but always ready to attack How happens at 15 ‘when Darmian leaves arrogance on his right wing and rewards surgical insert from Gagliardini who will score the 3-0 goal.
One party is perhaps too little to give final judgments, but it would not be surprising if this race represented The inflection point of a season. Beyond Outcome got up against the team more fun and more amazing from these months comes the strong signal of attitude on the field, completely different from that seen in almost all previous seasonal releases. Desire to win that comes from one rediscovered the desire to sacrifice. Inter signals new, perhaps with only slightly modified tactical principles, certainly with a renewed spirit. The spirit of Conte’s teams, the ones that won.
REPORT CARDS
L. Martinez 7 – It seems strange, but when Lukaku is missing, the Argentine does a bit of Lukaku. He dons the leader’s cap, dictates offensive game timing, and fills up the midfield gaps better than ever. A lot of work, hard but profitable, more as a flank pilot and aide than as a bomber.
Sanchez 6.5 – Accustomed to difficult early matches, this time he enters with the right attitude and is ready when Lautaro offers him the assistance for the 1-0.
Chiriches 5 – More than the 0-2 own goal, he has Inter’s first goal on his conscience, to which he involuntarily collaborates with a couple of mistakes made in a few seconds. It is not easy to recover from such a shock. You have to surrender to a muscle ailment before rest.
Djuricic 6.5 – A player in constant growth, he is the man who tries the most to react when his team goes two goals less, with a couple of shots (one to the post) that put Handanovic in trouble.
Handanovic 6.5– His is a goalkeeper game for a great team: he is not bombarded, but he is in a position to have to intervene with qualitative saves at the right times.
Perisic 6.5 – Remained in the Nerazzurri despite the saints after being offered to half of Europe, he is putting together a season that is taking a positive turn. With some tactical precautions, if you are not forced to be a winger, you can do something good.
Vidal 7 – A completely different player from the nervous on the verge of hysteria in the bad night of Inter-Real. Disciplined, attentive to the indications of Conte, a precious metronome for pressing times.
Stretcher 6.5 – Playing in the midfielder line more than the attacking midfielder benefits you a lot, also because in this way you can follow your instincts and inspiration in a more constructive way.
Clubs 6.5 – When Inter begins to give their rivals too many meters, they are the only defenders who leave their area with courage and personality.
Darmian 7 – Having him at the Nerazzurri seemed like a whim for Conte, but this afternoon Emilia brings dynamism, experience and tactical wisdom into play.
Gagliardini 6.5 – The 3-0 goal rewards their performance but also the ability to react to criticism and pressure from a squad that knows how to scold when it comes to doing so.
