Inter without play and addicted to Lukaku: Conte does not lock up his players | First page

Inter win in the comeback over Turin but, despite the vital 3 points obtained, we fans cannot consider ourselves happy and serene despite the euphoria of the usual comeback from a crazy team and, in every way, unbalanced. An exciting first half. The feeling, in case anyone managed to stay awake, was that, as is often the case this year, sooner or later we would be punished. So it was, obviously in the last second of the first half and obviously with a gift to the rivals that is now our trademark for the 2020-21 season.

It happens that you go to the locker room below 0-1 and in the second half it is worse when you get 2-0 from a team in crisis of men and results. From here comes the reaction of the individuals, there is no trace of the game but only the desire not to accept the situation of the players on the field. Gagliardini let the center of the field transform and become “aggressive”, the 1-2 arrives that paves the way for us to recover and, thanks to the usual huge Lukaku, to victory.

Today, without this victory, Inter would be 7 points away from Milan having to manage an at least shameful situation given the expectations of the beginning of the year. The victory against Torino is only a medicine to avoid the stomach ache of the statistics, without a victory the joy of Inter in the last 9 games would have been only 1. A worrying roadmap for a team with important ambitions already this year .

But the game against Toro cannot make anyone feel comfortable. The fans feel the moment and understand that something is not working well. The first part of Inter was indescribable. Fatigue is certainly a mitigating factor, but it is not the physical condition that worries but the attitude. Nobody tried a play, nobody took risks and the Torino players always came before us on every ball. In 0-2 despair came out, the patrons have jumped and the players have freed themselves. Conte is right in having to give the team a stage, but perhaps it is also right to give the players the opportunity to express their talents by not locking them in a cage. Inter concede too many goals, the average of 2 goals per game is not acceptable and cannot lead to anything good if it is not corrected immediately and quickly. Every once in a while you need to get out of the blueprint for people to perform better. Conte is building an Inter with a 3 man defense and he is right to insist, but be careful to be uncompromising, flexibility is needed in life as in football and the players feel it.

Sunday’s comeback gives Inter and Conte a chance to back down and get back on top. The big opportunity will arrive on Wednesday at San Siro. Real is in trouble and will have many players out, you cannot fail or even get into disorder like a 2-2 victory in Madrid. The ferocity Conte still has it, is intact and must pass it on to his players. But perhaps the Nerazzurri coach is losing his pulse on the morale of his players. Conte maybe should free the heads of his men who sometimes seem intimidated, So scared they never tried a play, one on one, a shot on goal.

I’m still mine, to date without Lukaku we are in great difficulties. Against Torino he loaded it all and led Inter to victory. But dwelling on a few mistakes can be fatal. We are not talking about a game but about this entire start of the season. Always the same attitude, always the same problems. It is time to change something or to downshift, otherwise the car will lag behind and it will be very difficult to catch up.
