Inter, Sos Sommer: short clearances and (few) goals avoided

The most classic of “you again”. Sommer disappointed once again and did it the same way: with a short clearance. A shot turned into an involuntary assist. The goal conceded against Fiorentina rhymes with the one seen in the first leg of the derby, when the Swiss “reached” Saelemakers’ right foot to favor Pulisic’s winning goal.

sommer: goodbye to June

—

Sommer is at the end of the race: in June he will leave Inter after three seasons of highs – see the season of the second leading star or last year’s saves in the Champions League – and some lows, as in this year. Some mistakes cost points, such as Udinese, Juventus, Milan in the first leg and so on, others were canceled out by victories. In the 6-2 against Pisa he gave the ball to Moreo with a bad pass in the build-up phase and then collected the second goal off his post. In short, not good. Other uncertainties: Giovane’s goal against Verona and other scattered episodes in the Champions League.

the fact that is worrying

—

There is one worrying fact: Yann only made eight “safe” clearances, i.e. outside the small area, compared to 14 in dangerous areas. Translated: we are talking about those interventions rejected head-on or more or less short, as against the Viola. That’s not all. Sommer is the third to last goalkeeper in Serie A in terms of goals avoided. Expected goals based on the quality and destination of the shots received. The Swiss is at -1.2. Only De Gea with Viola and Montipò with Verona were worse than him, teams fighting not to be relegated. The top three are Maignan (9.6), Carnesecchi (6.4) and Svilar (6.2). Sommer is light years away.

vicar for 2026

—

Inter are already on the hunt for a new goalkeeper. The first name on the list is Guglielmo Vicario, 29 years old, number one of Tudor’s Tottenham currently on the sidelines due to injury. The former Empoli player has made it known that he would like to return to Italy: Inter is a welcome destination. The cost is around 20 million. It had already been close in 2023, Inter will return to the fray in June. Another on whom Marotta and Ausilio are taking notes is Andriy Lunin, Courtois’ deputy at Real. At the end of the season the upper levels will decide. First there is a championship to win.
