Also for this reason, Inzaghi is particularly keen to do well against Sassuolo after the KO in the first leg
“There is a paradox in Inter’s championship. The only defeat suffered in the 34 matches played so far, in fact, came from a team that seriously risks falling to Serie B, namely Sassuolo”. This is how the Corriere dello Sport article presenting the match at the Mapei Stadium opens. Inter thus wants to take revenge, even with the Scudetto already won, against a team that is instead desperately looking for points to try to save itself. In 21 previous matches, among other things, Sassuolo has won 9 times, 5 of which at San Siro.
“The hope of Ballardini and his men is that Lautaro and his associates will show up at the Mapei with a full belly, or at least with the waste from the celebrations weighing down their legs. On the other hand, however, the Nerazzurri will not lack motivation. Precisely the tumble of the first leg, in fact, “calls” for revenge. We were surprised at San Siro, but this time we want to demonstrate what the true values are and that it was just an accident: this, in short, is the thought. which crosses the minds of Inzaghi’s players, who is also the first to push to erase that one blemish in an impeccable path so far.”underlines the Corriere dello Sport which adds that Inzaghi particularly cares about this match because, in the event of victory, Inter would have beaten all the other 19 teams in the championship at least once: it would be the second time in Inter’s history after year of the scudetto with Conte on the bench.
