The energies have multiplied and the reserves have become a resource. But the championship calendar is demanding

May 13 – 12:51 – MILAN

With the charge that is found, Inter could beat anyone today. Power of the Champions League, the greatest high school maturity exam. After passing Barcelona everything seems suddenly possible: winning with the PSG in the final, overcome Napoli in the championship. It would be a historical feat. The three consecutive defeats with Bologna, Milan and Rome could be the end of everything: goodbye Italian Cup, bye-bye championship, and also for Barça in the semifinal the auspices were not the best. Instead the effect was the opposite: as if he had shrugged the responsibility of having to win everything – a great lesson for the future – Inter played day by day, free and light.

euphoria and calendar

Moral is totally different from that of Napoli: it could also be a problem. Euphoria will be managed. Conte always has a point of advantage, he is the master of his destiny. Two successes risk not enough for Inzaghi. The Nerazzurri calendar seems more demanding: Lazio struggles for a goal that is not only the Champions League, Europe could escape it completely (it also depends on Milan-Bologna of the Italian Cup), therefore it will not act as a sparring-partner. Vecino’s goal in the 96th minute can have the effect of that of Acerbi. Then there is the Como who has no ranking interest, but travels one meter from the ground: he succeeds everything, he enjoys and enjoys, is back for six successes in a row and has nothing to lose. Fabregas a week before PSG is not the best.

manage abundance

The dilemma is precisely this: too much grace suddenly, how to manage the new approach to the Munich final? Inter had accepted the defeat in the championship, Inzaghi was logical and courageous to deploy the second lines with Verona and Turin. He could not imagine that Napoli would lose two points with Genoa. Insisting with Asllani and company of reservists, it could also have regrets: now a compromise will be needed, but it is clear that the project to preserve all the big names for the Champions League will be revised and correct. With all the enthusiasm of the world, managing the three games that can give everything or nothing, planning the club world championship that is worth millions, arrives after the national teams and can compromise the summer preparation, in short, putting all the boxes in their place is not very simple. Inzaghi will have to be visionary and “pharmacist”.

almost all run

If psychologically Inter flies, physically it would be legitimate to have some doubts. Instead it seems that the energies are returning as a miracle: Dumfries, Dimarco and Thuram improve, MkhiTaryan has no 90 ‘Super but it can only improve, Acerbi is at yet another rebirth. The doubt remains Lautaro and it is not a small one: for the Argentine there is only the PSG, the championship can wait. But the surprising thing is the performance of the second lines so vituped in the season: never seen Asllani, Zielinski, Zalawski, Taremi and De Vrij so safe, aggressive, in the maneuver and, moreover, at the same time. Inzaghi has never had this high -level abundance, but perhaps all a matter of head. Beyond the reassurances of pragmar, the technician was not sure that he was confirmed, indeed the three ko had destabilized his position. Today there are no more those who dream of questioning it and this tranquility is probably reflected on the team: nobody feels under examination or, worse, “reserve”. Paradoxically, Inter has less to lose Napoli because the Scudetto seemed to be gone and getting to the final is, morally, almost winning it. Many signals indicate Inter. Too many?
