A week after the great championship celebration which saw Milan flooded with a river of black and blue stripes which enveloped the Milanese capital in the pulsating and passionate, far from painful, grip of the Nerazzurri’s Biscione, a celebration also favored by a resounding 2- 0 against Torino, theInter takes off its battle armor and shows itself in all its simple humanity. He does it in the most unexpected way, undoubtedly less quoted (especially by bookmakers) and stumbles once again against the only bête noire…(green) of the season. At least in the championship. Just like in the first leg, the top of the class, already perched on the podium, stumbles against the Sassuolo. A lifetime seems to have passed since that distant September 27th and since that ugly, annoying and extraordinary knockout of the Beloved, rather than water under the bridge, an entire season has passed with various and possible annexes. Since then, scenarios have been completely reversed and that defeat which seemed to sound like the sword of Damocles cutting off the head of Biscione turned out, on the contrary, to be a kind of reverse spell which made Inzaghi’s team the anti-myth of Samson. By cutting off her head, invincibility became more apparent than disappeared and from then on no opponent managed to replicate the feat of Dionisi’s boys who, in a diametrically opposite manner to their opponents at San Siro on that night at the end of September, fell apart week after week until it completely disintegrates… or almost.
TO SAVE THE SAVABLES OF THE EMILIANS it’s really good old Inter. The same team that had given them more than just fifteen minutes of fame and applause, allowing them on the contrary to show themselves for ninety minutes or so in all their splendor. Sparkling form and commendable game plots ended up in a scrapbook that was practically never updated again and ended up risking an epilogue Ugly with a capital B and in bold that Inter last night at Mapei didn’t feel like signing up to. It may have been the prolonged celebrations, it may have been the excessive lightness, it may have been a slightly excessive run-in test… the Italian champions showed up in Reggio Emilia in the worst version of themselves. Gross errors, forgotten bite at San Siro (or in Piazza Duomo), strangled ball rotation, interrupted passing lines and offensive maneuvers that struggled to get started have highlighted some shadow points of a team that finally made their stunned opponents smile in the last two weeks revealing a secret, known so far to a select few – three to be exact, including Sassuolo (who thanks us today) -: Inter are also beatable.
SHAMELESS AND ANTHROPOMORPHISM AND THE MARKET. Shamelessness with which the team showed itself in all its naked and brazen anthropomorphism, which certainly did not find the pleasure of Simone Inzaghi and the management who have never found victory in the land of Piacenza (yesterday’s knockout against Sassuolo , tied 2-2 in Bologna), finding themselves instead reminded of how much work there is to do in Viale della Liberazione as soon as the gates of Appiano close. In fact, the test of the exceptional ‘observed’ has been postponed Audero, Dumfries and the two attackers Sanchez And Arnautovic. If the Chilean is destined to say goodbye to Milan again in June, the future of the Austrian is still to be written who even against Ballardini’s team does not find the goal, nor the right play for a teammate, much less the scratch that he could and should have given (and not only in the aforementioned match, but throughout the season, however conditioned by injuries). The former Bologna player, who in fact boasts a contract until June 2025, is one of the most attentive at the moment in the upper floors of The Corner, where a sentence will shortly be issued on his (as well as on that of the others) continuation or not in Nerazzurri and the Sassuolo exam doesn’t seem to have played great cards in his favor. Similar speech for the goalkeeper on loan from Sampdoria, who didn’t do so badly against the Emilians but not very well either, and for the Dutchman who has remained trending on Twitter in the last week. His latest outings have not been particularly convincing and the renewal, which mainly comes from the pitch, remains to be seen. In short, a little picture which, seasoned with other departures such as those of Cuadrado and (most likely) Klaassenwith buds still too immature to expect immediate flowering (such as Bisseck and Buchanan) and tiredness, attracts the attention of Marotta And Help in view of next season, when the 38 new stages for the championship will be joined by the (additional) matches of the new Champions League and the Club World Cup. A call that speaks market language and that is starting to appear in the ‘receipt’ register in an increasingly stringent manner.
TRUTH, SLEEP AND POINTS. Between one call and another from the managers and the humanity of a generous Inter who still keep alive the thread of Sassuolo’s hope of salvation by throwing away a couple of records that they could still have conquered (goodbye 100 points and interrupting the streak of 42 matches with at least one goal scored), it is worth reminding the neighbors on the lower floors of an old song from 1944 that went more or less like this: “My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me. Tell me where did you sleep last night”. Don’t lie and say where you slept last night. Interno lie, he slept once again, like a week ago and like the next, on the highest podium in Italy regardless of Sassuolo, where the points count… But only for the others.
