At the European debut on the Nerazzurri bench, the new technician can immediately smile thanks to his bomber: a goal in time and Dutch on the carpet

In the city of Rembrandt it is worth revisiting one of his paintings and putting on the boy with the number nine: “Lessons of the head of the head of Dr. Thuram”. The Frenchman spreads the Ajax 2-0 with two framed by center forward and laughs at it, this time with a taste, proud and sincere, while next to him there are those who observe him with curious doing, like surgeons who witness the “anatomy lesson of Dr. Tulp”. One of the most famous paintings of the Dutch painter who grew up along the canals. Inter trimmed two slaps that are worth triple: it spreads the Ajax, a distant relative of the squadron in which Chivu enjoyed himself as a captain, chase away the crisis and finally toast the fort. After the four goals collected at the Allianz with Juve, a Clean Sheet was what was needed.

Thuram Show

Amsterdam SA of Stroopwafel, the typical local desserts, and great revenge in all languages. The first is from Sommer, who in the first half saved the result on 0-0. All after a nightmare week after the two errors with Juve. The Swiss neutralized Godts at the only moment when the Nerazzurri defense launched: Edvardsen launch from the rear – to see and review -, Belgian control and Yann parade. The second is all of Thuram, caught by the fans because of that laugh after the goal scored by Adzic at the last second. This time he exulted, smiled and maybe he will have also rethought to his father: in 2004, with Juventus, Lilian played at Johan Cruijff Arena against Heitinta, now a coach of an Ajax who lives on gusts, entrusted to sporadic soloists today rather turned off (Godts, Weghorst, Klaassen). Marcus has paid the practice with two similar actions between the 42 ‘and the 47th minute: two heads on the developments of a corner, two assists of Calhanoglu and two errors in marking by Klaassen, ex on duty, guilty of having lost the French twice. Last year Thuram scored three head networks. Now it is already four. All after having also conquered a penalty – Baas of Baas in the first half -, but the Var removed him because in reality it was he who pulled the central shirt at the beginning of the action (34 ‘).

Bravo Pio

The last revenge is by Chivu, good at not upsetting the European structure: inside only Ajanka, one who seems to play Inter for three years, and the Pio vetenne, deployed from the 1st of Lautaro’s injury. For the rest, Cristian confirmed the blockage that arrived in the final last year. And he paid. It can be said that Inter won with his head. The first to raise her was Esposito. The youngest owner since the time of Santon and Balotelli, lined up by Mourinho at 18 in 2008-09. The boy from the Rione Cicero kept his guard against the Dutch power plants, especially with Itakura, defending with his nails and dirty balls. In half an hour he sorted a nice ball on the twenty meters and then served Thuram. The duet worked.

SUBERS OK

Dumfries also good, especially in the defensive phase. For him a pair of not bad diagonal: he won the duel with Wijndal, a assault with a license to aim and break the line. Today he never did. Inter suffered little, has armored the defense after the four Schools of the Allianz and the other two against Udinese. He managed the advantage by risking a couple of times, but summarly – in difficulty only on a header from Dolberg in the final – dusted off the rules already dictated by Chivu: the “stones” can remain in the pockets. As well as memories. Heitinga and Cristian, champions of Holland together in 2002, challenged each other in the Champions League for the first time. Destiny is so. Finally, the rest of Dr. Thuram thought. The boy of the picture.
