After the disappointment in the Champions League, Inter rose immediately and beat Cagliari 3-1 in their own field. A first half dominated by Conte’s team that creates, but does not materialize and suffers the insult with a great goal from Sottil. The second half begins with a bit of confusion in the Inter ranks, but then the Nerazzurri coach changes the team’s set-up and returns with character and takes three important points.
DEFENSE 4 – It seemed like an unlucky day, yes because today is unlucky. Cragno, the Cagliari goalkeeper, saved everything and more in the first half and denied Inter the goal. There are many occasions devoured by the Nerazzurri who are then attacked at the first opportunity by the Sardinians. In the second half, Inter seem to suffer a bit and Di Francesco tries the classic move against Conte: he goes to 3-5-2. But this time the Nerazzurri coach is ready and the much-acclaimed Plan B falls. Inter goes to 4 in defense, Sanchez he stands between the lines behind Lukaku and Lautaro and here is an unprecedented 4-3-1-2. And it is precisely with Plan B that Inter finds the three points, fundamental for the race for the title.
CHARACTER – Did the deployment have an impact? Maybe, but it wasn’t the key to victory.. It took character. One more comeback from Inter than in the League proves not to be meek. Unlike the match against Shakhtar, it showed another intensity, another determination, another desire. Barella is the shock man, increasingly mature. The midfielder fights for every ball, he never throws his leg back and scores a sensational goal that shakes Inter and starts the comeback. He is the example to follow, even more after the words of Conte that he has pointed the finger at a player who cannot find a gap because he is not very determined and will have to leave in January. There is a big difference between the Inter of Italy and the one of Europe: In the League the Nerazzurri show that fury typical of Conte’s teams, in Europe there may be a mental block. Who knows how Shakhtar would have fared with today’s determination and enthusiasm in Cagliari …
