BURY
Handanovic 6 – He can’t do anything with the purple advantage, so he’s very good at saving Kouamé. In the second half, watch Ribery’s show helplessly.
D’Ambrosio 5.5 – A nightmare that turns to glory for the Nerazzurri defender. Ribéry is inspired and unstoppable, he always skips it. In the end, however, the decisive goal is his.
Clubs 5.5 – Absent from Vrij, he is called to lead the defense. In the first minutes he understands little, then he grows up and is the least worst of the local rearguard.
Kolarov 5 – Start of shock, Kouamé is lost several times. As the minutes go by, he seems to gain confidence, but in the second half he makes other huge mistakes.
Young 5.5 – Decisive diagonal over Kouame in the first part, always useful and focused. In the second half, he struggles to keep Ribéry alongside D’Ambrosio. The Frenchman appreciates and invents sensational plays. (From 65 ‘ Hakimi 6.5 – Great impact, his teammates look for him and immediately need a winning assist, that of goal 3-3).
Stretcher 6.5 – The fittest of the eleven owner chosen by Conte. After a difficult start, he takes the team by the hand and becomes irrepressible in the center of the field. His assistance for Lautaro, in the second half Dragowski flies to deny him 3-3. (From 75 ‘ Nainggolan 6 – It gives strength and muscles to the midfield, with it Inter raises the center of gravity).
Brozovic 5.5 – Fluctuating performance, good things, and a few moments of pause too. You must grow, your ability to balance is essential. (From 74 ‘ Vidal 6 – Participate in the final rounds providing character and determination).
Perisic 5.5 – An average successful experiment. The Croatian is appreciated for his great spirit of sacrifice in the defensive phase, but loses some clarity up front. You have to adapt to this new role. (From 76 ‘ Sanchez 7 – The man of providence. He stands behind the forwards and invents the two decisive moves for the victory of the Nerazzurri).
Eriksen 5.5 – It is usually found between the lines, it tries to be a point of reference but there are few occasions in which it verticalizes and gives speed to the maneuver. Not exactly what his coach expected, who changes him after pointing out several of his mistakes several times. From (65 ‘ Sensi 6.5 – He enters the game very well, with good geometries and a lot of desire to show off).
Lukaku 6 – In the first half it seems heavy. Despite holding his body against the host defense, he hardly ever manages to win duels with Milenkovic and Cáceres. In the second half he fights but tries harder and finds 3-3.
Lautaro Martinez 7 – In the first half it is he who creates the greatest dangers on Dragowski’s side, and at the last moment he finds the 1-1 goal. Recovery begins the same way, thanks also to Ceccherini’s detour.
Coach: Antonio Conte 6.5 – He risks everything in the final, putting heavy artillery on the field. And he wins, thanks to a new entry, Alexis Sánchez. Inter are still not brilliant but the impression is that this year the bench can be a really decisive weapon. There will be time and way to improve.
FIORENTINE
Dragowski 6 – After a first half of semi-inactivity, he is crossed by Lautaro’s great right. About the one who has no faults, as well as about Ceccherini’s own goal, which betrays him. From there he takes the chair with two great saves, over Lukaku and Barella, but he has to lean two more times.
Milenkovic 6 – For large sections he dominates physically, even when his direct opponent is Lukaku. Then Lautaro burns it on time and makes it 1-1, before a second half in which he is very stressed. Take home an abundant sufficiency.
Snipers 5 – Some successful intervention in defense, but in his assessment the stain on the score sheet weighs heavily: the own goal bears his last name, and the intervention is quite clumsy. Not always very sure, it is the worst of the three.
Cáceres 6 – Calvarese sees his dirty touch in the Nerazzurri penalty area, but VAR helps him to regret it. Lima with experience in various difficult situations, and in the end he is probably the best among the three central hosts.
Church 7 – Spirit of sacrifice is the watchword, and he often returns to help the defense with a defensive attitude. He knows how to cope even when he ventures forward, and he proves it with the counterattack goal, having appreciated Ribery’s brilliant idea. Excellent test.
(from 69 ‘Lirola 5.5 – His entry is anonymous, like all the others entered from the bench by Iachini. It only partially pushes on the right flank and provides even less defensive security than Chiesa).
Buenaventura 6.5 – Cold, very cold in serving Kouame for the easiest serve on the occasion of the goal that unlocks the match. Beautiful plays, at times it disappears but it continues to be an important reference when Fiorentina needs imagination, as long as it is on the field.
(from 62 ‘Borja Valero 5.5 – Great and fresh ex of the game, the Spaniard would like to cool Inter’s streaks thanks to his intelligence, but he slows down the pace of the purple game, perhaps too much. In short, it does not affect).
Amrabat 6 – First referee with Fiorentina for him: yes, there is half a mess due to the action that later leads to Ceccherini’s own goal, but also a lot of courage and ability to stop the opponent’s actions. As a director he also plays a lot of balls, although you never play too complicated.
Castrovilli 7 – After a slightly intermittent first fraction, he enters the scene with both feet: he opens the action of the 2-2 with his right, closes it with a soft and angular left foot that hits Handanovic. In general, he is the best in the field after Ribéry.
Biraghi 5.5 – Kouame’s advantage comes from his foot: the ball he offers with his right foot is very nice, theoretically a weak foot. Young suffers throughout the first half, then especially when Hakimi comes in, he seems to be able to take action but it’s more of an illusion.
Kouame 6.5 – Dirty touch, then after washing the Bonaventura bags the advantage. It could double a few minutes later, but Handanovic blocks it. He does a good side job, the murderous instinct instead, there is still a little to perfect.
(from 62 ‘Vlahovic 4.5 – With his right foot he would have the ball to close the game early, after Ribéry’s umpteenth number, but it ends badly with the right. A very serious mistake, in addition to the defensive one, on D’Ambrosio’s goal. Serataccia, or rather, late at night).
Ribéry 7.5 – It starts off by offering brilliant touches right away, between streamers and winning assists. As the first half passes, he falls and offers the ball to resume Inter’s tie. In the interval he realizes that he has to remedy and plays the role of the genius, with two assists, one more beautiful than the other, others more potential. He leaves to the applause of all.
(dall’84 ‘Cutrone sv)
Coach: Giuseppe Iachini 6 – His Fiorentina plays a vigorous and determined game, and nearly took the entire loot away from San Siro. The first part in which his team limits Inter’s offense a lot and creates their chances, but makes fun near the break. In the second half he clings to Ribéry, and everything happens until 2-3. In which, probably, it denotes a substitution management that is not exactly perfect. In the end, a good test of his team remains in the eyes even in defeat: the final evaluation on the report card is a pass, with some basic regrets.
