Inter, banners in Appiano for Lautaro, Handanovic and the others

“Absent” in protest against the club in the derby that reopened the championship on 5 February, the Curva Nord is sending an important message to Inter at a particularly delicate moment. When they arrived for training, this morning Inzaghi and the players found three banners outside the gates of the Suning Training Center (in memory of Angelo Moratti) to give the group a boost in view of Friday’s trip to Genoa.

If one of the messages was generalized (“Battles are won by force, wars are won with character. The North is with you”), the other two were dedicated to as many players who ended up in the dock after the defeat against Sassuolo.

“Samir, don’t worry about them. The North is with you” was for captain Handanovic, criticized for Raspadori’s goal but also for Giroud’s doubling in the derby. “Lautaro aguanta, estamos con vos” (“Lautaro hold tight, we are with you”) meant to charge the sitting Bull of the last two months. The Argentine striker has not scored in the league since December 17 and after the incredible mistake against Sassuolo he apologized to the fans. Just as happened after the missed penalty in the first leg derby.

And the other efforts of the Curva go to the match against Milan next Tuesday (first leg of the Italian Cup semi-final), which is preparing a special choreography after having “abstained” during the championship match because in controversy with the club that does not he had granted 150 more tickets.
