The Nerazzurri have lost the last two derby for drops in attention in the last few minutes: first with cage, then with Pulisic and Abraham. But a group later changed everything

February 2 – 10:59 – MILAN

The Nerazzurri glass vase broke around 10.30 pm on a Sunday in late summer. Matteo Gabbia, the man who broke the spell to fall: before sting in a handful of minutes from the end, Inter had won six consecutive derby. Four months later everything has changed: Milan has a new guide, he is about to greet the tip taken in the summer to embrace another and is trying to place Captain Calabria, but the thread that binds Inzaghi to the Rossoneri remains the derby, where He has remedied two defeats in the last two challenges. The last cost him the sixth Super Cup of his career.

Attention

Inter have not lost in the championship from September 22nd. Since that day he has grossed only two other defeats, including one against Milan. The clues do the test: the vein broke out. The reason? Difficult to frame it. Also because the two ko against the Rossoneri both arrived at a punch of seconds from the gong. The goal of Cage came to the 89th minute, while that of Abraham in the Super Cup even in the 93 ‘, after a flicker of Leao. The key word is attention. Inter lost two derby almost the same way. In the last he had gone ahead of two goals. At 56 ‘it seemed done, then Morata landslined on Asllani – a foul contested several times by Inzaghi – and the Albanian lost his ball. The punishment of Theo Hernandez did the rest. The goals of Pulisic and Abraham, however, have not attenuating: first the error in the marking of sticks on the American and then the two missed covers of Asllani and Frattesi on Lea and Abraham. Two not a little individual errors.

Inter found solidity. He hit the Champions League round of 16 for the fourth time in a row and with the best defense in Europe: only one goal immediately in eight games. He scored six goals at Lazio, five at Verona, three at Empoli, four at Lecce. The account account rises to 72 in 32 games in all competitions. An average of more than two per game. However, net of a linear path, those two ko remain a scar. Also because they photograph the weak point of Inter in recent months: the drop in attention in the final minutes. What the Nerazzurri will have to be careful in view of Sunday. Different disappointments arrived from 80 onwards: the derby teaches.
