Inter -ura Red Diamonds 2-1: Gol di Watanabe, Lautaro and Carboni

It was already known before this club world championship, even more so you see it on the field: this is the South American tournament, this. Of the teams, of course. But also of the players. Yes, because just two Argentines, Lautaro and Valentin Carboni, which Inter leaned to overturn and remove the humiliation of a defeat with theUrawa red diamondsa team that in our Serie A would struggle to save themselves. Victory at minute 92, because for smiles you must always wait for the recovery. Inter have not truly rejoiced for 46 days, from the Acerbi network in the 93 ‘against Barcelona: here too, as then, a left -handed that marks the right foot on the credits with the right foot. In Seattle, in a very English climate, the satisfaction is less, of course, but it is used at least to fix the group’s ranking and waiting for the last game with the River Plate: the round of 16 are decidedly closer.

Better this way, because the performance had left a lot to be desired, at least on the level of quality. Not instead on the mental aspect: Inter, from the disaster of Monaco, seems more down from the physical point of view than on the psychological point of view, because even against Urawa – as well as it had been against Monterrey – the reaction to the disadvantage was there, the ability not to surrender is seen. Confused, not very lucid, a little weighted, but still a desire that has a tangible value. Tangible as the technical gesture of Lautaro, a second half that the Arawa defenders have no time even time to understand. As with Monterrey, the captain decided to leave his mark on a game conducted badly by his companions. Inter, on the offensive level, was practically only his captain. At minute 33 ‘of the second half, when the number 10 drew, the Nerazzurri had pulled in the mirror only once, in the first half. Guess with whom? Always with Lautaro, header on the crossbar on Asllani’s assistance. Then, also thanks to the tiredness of the Japanese and a good mental attitude, Chivu managed to overturn it. Even returning to his steps, because the 3-4-2-1 of the first half with Zaleski midfielder together with Sebastiano Esposito had worked little. Better the dear old 3-5-2, for the transition on the module there is still work to be done and here the weather is objectively little, between one match and the other. Certainly, this game as the first said once again that Inter has a very evident need for other attackers: too little I live Sebastiano Esposito, better his brother Pio to the absolute debut in the first team. But without Thuram the depth is missing, a material that would be useful to ask Bonny as soon as possible.

Chivu has to reflect, especially on the first half. The beginning was a photocopy of the race with Monterrey. Inter placed the curtains in the Japanese half, trying to play a more direct football. The search for a continuous change of field has been seen and in general of a more vertical kick, also to attack a defensive line of Erawa very low to equally compact. But at the first offensive action he underwent goals. In fact, he did it almost alone: ​​the Watanabe network is a horror film with three protagonists, the initial lost ball from Dimarco, the dribbling suffered by Carlos Augustus and the failure to cover Luis Henrique. From there an infinite ball possession began on forward that never led to anything, because everyone limited themselves to the task without looking for the decisive play, a true verticalization. Good for Urawa, who transformed the four-line line even in defense to … six, with the two (theorists) attack external of the 4-3-3 good at transforming into added full-backs. That wall Inter has never managed to break through it, Dimarco on one side and Luis Henrique on the other hand seemed far from an acceptable condition. So Chivu was forced to change: reverse in reverse, inside MkhiTaryan who did not do much from a technical point of view, but at least he allowed his companions to recognize himself inside the score they know best. In the second 45 minutes Inter played practically in the last 30 meters of the field. It seemed almost a door training, but never find the imbucata. And yes that a couple of goals were failed, especially that of MkhiTaryan himself at minute 71. Fortunately, Lautaro thought about it, to overturn the inertia. And to lighten the head a little more. This team still has the ghosts of Munich inside. The last action of the game also tells it. The goal that gave the success scored it Carboni, in the action Sucic entered, two that the PSG did not experience it. Players with the free mind. Maybe the secret is all here.
