October 19 – 01:30 – MILAN

Sooner or later Inter will be able to prepare the match they have been working on for a while. He will be able to introduce Ornella Vanoni, who rediscovered herself as a Nerazzurri player at 91 years old, to the number 1 card of the French fan club: Ange-Yoan Bonny, simply Angelo inside the Inter locker room, who continues to win one goal at a time. Yesterday’s match, the third of the season and the second in a row, seemed to be yet another breath of life from this Inter, a hymn to youth, just as his favorite artist likes it: “This sun lights up a sign of hope on my face…”, sang Ornella Nazionale in “The Appointment”. It’s the timeless classic that foodie Bonny listens to the most.

CARBON PAPER

Also watching over Angelo from above was Marcus Thuram, who came specially from Milan yesterday morning after undergoing treatment for the hamstring which still torments him a little, but from one Frenchman to another you can hardly see the difference: the 21-year-old is starting to be more and more a carbon copy of his 28-year-old big brother. Before scoring against Svilar, taking advantage of Gasp’s suicidal offside, Bonny had even hesitated: strangely he swayed, as if he didn’t think he was being kept in the game but, when he realized the gift he had received, he inserted the right hole. After all, he was one of the few who had to work hard during the break and had also impressed his fitness coaches: his physical values ​​are astonishing, the boy has all the air of someone who doesn’t want to spend the winter behind ThuLa, but rather complicate the choices of his mentor Chivu himself. “Playing consistently counts, it’s nice to score, learn, work like this as a team: these are three very important points for our progress”, he winked at the end of the match.

IN THE DISTANCE

The coach is very happy with this attitude and, in general, he enjoys the good spirit of the other Franco-Argentine couple: Bonny plus Lautaro who, together, had already mistreated the Cremonese. If you add up the new 69 minutes spent on the pitch yesterday, you discover a non-normal average: in 227 total it comes to one goal every 75. In the sum of goals-assists, 3+3, there is no Inter player who has been involved in more goals in the league, indeed since Serie A returned to 20 teams no Nerazzurri had climbed to these heights in their first 7 appearances. At the moment, only Nico Paz and Pulisic have the same production, but playing much more. Unlike the Frenchman, yesterday Lautaro was nervous for no reason, he got a flash yellow and, above all, he was tired after the usual ocean flight: Chivu wants him rested above all for the new direct clash away next Saturday at Maradona, but in between there is still the trip to Brussels. Recovery over the next two days will be decisive, at which point the Romanian coach will decide whether to start again immediately with the Argentine. Whatever happens, whether the center forward is Toro or the always generous (and powerful) Esposito, it is very hard to give up this Bonny. “I’m just learning, working together with Pio day after day: look at how he held the ball when he came in…”, he added at the end, recognizing his teammate’s talent. “I’m waiting when suddenly I’ll see you appear in the distance”, Vanoni seems to sing to him again. And with her, all of Inter.
