Inter therapy: team at rest, the big names are back and just turnover

For two years at Inter it did not happen to lose two consecutive games. So, just to make it clear that we are not faced with a “normal” moment for Simone Inzaghi and his. Nothing is ordinary. And it is needed, to put it in the words of Nicolò Barella, to “also put what we don’t have”. The coach began. That as soon as the derby with Milan finished, he “listened” to the silence of the locker room, saw the faces and decided that the next day (or yesterday) it would be of complete rest. Because the mind must be trained in these hours. And because it is wrong in believing that the trouble is the legs. Of course, the high minutes – of which we are talking about another page – are evidently a factor. But yesterday at the Inter house a joke was shot: we lost the cup derby in the 94th minute of Bologna-Inter, with Orsolini’s goal. As if to say: if Inter had left the Dall’Ara with a draw, the approach and development of the race with Milan would have been in all probability different. But the “if” count the right now. Rather, it matters to understand and accelerate.

Situation

–

Today Inzaghi will find the team in Appiano and speak, both of what happened with Milan is projecting to Roma. The idea is clear: to recover the injured causes, trying to balance caution to avoid repercussions with the need to find fundamental pawns. That’s why the three players Fermi, Dumfries, Zielinski and Thuram, yesterday they went to Appiano. No rest for them, but additional work. The situation is this: the outside and the midfielder will be available with Roma. They will not start holders, neither of them. But it is legitimate to imagine that they can give a hand to the race in progress. Thuram, on the other hand, is a wire further back. Except for surprises, the attacker will return directly to Barcelona. And with the idea of ​​being immediately owner in the Champions League. They are three key returns. Because in Inter there are players and players. There are reserves and reserves. And in some roles – which we highlight here on the side – the gap between the first and second lines is too large, at least to face high -level games such as Bologna and Milan. And then Dumfries is a player not replicable, for characteristics, given today’s Darmian. Zielinski will allow Inzaghi to give breath to the middle and perhaps to make Calhanoglu breathe even without resorting to Asllani. And in attack, not even to say, Thuram with Lautaro are light years ahead of all the others.

The plan

–

Here then the strategy will change from here on. Especially in May. Inzaghi says that “we all play world cup finals” and it is not wrong: Inter are without a network. Without the possibility of error. And therefore he is tired of tightening his teeth for three other games: Rome, going with Barcelona and Verona. Translated: the turnover, the scientific rotations implemented by Inzaghi since the beginning of the season are about to end. The alternations will be seen until the match with Verona on May 3. Then, from the return with Barça onwards, Inzaghi will go on with the best in all challenges, limiting or effectively getting the turnover for the last four seasonal releases. And this also in the hope that another race is added, to be played on May 31 in Monaco. At most with the best, therefore. Also because this Inter showed a small bug: he needs a high level of condition and some irreplaceable to express his game. Otherwise, it becomes a vulnerable team. Above all, a team that cannot put a dress too different from what you usually wear. It can do so for some raids – read the two games with Bayern – but not as a default setting. In any case, the goal is to avoid the anathema of the “zeru tituli”. The team now warns the weight more than the joy of the 51 games played so far. Here, Inzaghi in the next few hours will have to overturn this mood. And maybe leaning on a statistics: never, with Inter, has lost three games in a row.
