A different match was expected from January 17 when Inter dominated and won, and it was. Sixteen days later, Inter and Juventus met again in the first leg of the Italian Cup. The Pirlo’s team seems to have learned their lesson and, despite the advantage of the Nerazzurri signed by Lautaro, it complicates the life of the Nerazzurri who would not need it because they do everything themselves. At San Siro the perfect manual was made entitled “How to give a match to your opponents”.
Because Juve’s two goals are two gifts. The first is a Young ingenuity that holds Square on a cross where he would never have gone. The second is packaged directly by Handanovic. The goalkeeper inexplicably leaves the penalty area despite Bastoni making sweeping gestures to retreat. Unfortunately, the Slovenian is not new to serious mistakes and the goalkeeper’s is a problem that Inter has been dragging on for some time and that will have to be solved in the summer.
On a bad night, the absence of Lukaku and Hakimi made itself felt, and how. Sánchez has lost the polish of the past, he has lost confidence with the goal, he is now a full-fledged creator of the game and here the old question of the front quarter that Inter has been dragging not since this summer, but for a long time. two abundant years. Conte spared no trip to the Chilean: “Ruthless numbers”. Probably the lost exchange with Dzeko cries out for revenge. Perhaps also for Conte who, perhaps, had expected it even though he never admitted it. Despite a good performance from Darmian, Hakimi’s lack is also weighed like a stone, his contribution in the attack maneuver is too important for this team.
But on a bad night, there were also good things. The first is that this is a team that never gives up, they put Juve on the ropes in the second half and just bad luck and Buffon saved the Bianconeri. It is a group formed in the image and likeness of Conte, his hand is there and you can see it. Despite the stormy seas (Suning relents?), Conte manages to keep the bar straight in a situation few coaches could handle. Instead, he compacted the group, realized (finally!) That someone like Eriksen can be helpful to the cause. The Dane himself seems to have understood Contian’s codes, against Juve he entered with the right attitude. The Nerazzurri coach has reason to smile, the group responds well, don’t fool a defeat, especially against Juve that came thanks to the generosity of Young and Handanovic.
