Inter, Correa’s statistics: when he is a starter, he wins

The Argentine started 11 games of the season from the first minute and the Nerazzurri won them all: in the last few matches, then, Tucu allowed Lautaro and Dzeko to perform at the top.

Only the official formations will clarify the doubt about the possible ownership of Joaquin Correa against Roma, but the figure with which Tucu presents itself to the big match is surprising: in the 11 games in which the Argentine was chosen by Simone Inzaghi from first minute, Inter have always won. No exception, 11 out of 11 wins with 27 points in 9 Serie A matches and two Italian Cup wins.

Talisman

In short, Correa is a true lucky charm. It is also so because in two of these 11 matches the attacker left the pitch prematurely due to injury: it happened for example in the first knockout round of the Coppa Italia against Empoli, when he gave way to Alexis Sanchez after 5 minutes, on the 0-0. Same fate a few months earlier in the league against Bologna, with the difference that Tucu abdicated in the 29th minute for Edin Dzeko with the result already unblocked. But Inter, as always, won. Among these 11 matches, those at Roma in the league and the cup derby on Tuesday, two very heavy successes, are particularly emphasized.

Impact

Given the amulet data that distinguishes the former Lazio, since Correa returned to Inzaghi’s rotations, the attack seems to have been revitalized. And we must not be fooled by the fact that the Argentine has still run out of goals since the end of October: the effect of him is indirect, but evident. Against Verona his partner Dzeko scored, against Milan Lautaro did it twice, also in this case Tucu’s partner from the first minute. The second center of Toro was favored by the assist of Correa, but it is in general that the former Lazio seems to have given a refresh to the offensive solutions of the Italian champions, because he is a different player from the others available to Inzaghi and because the agreement with Dzeko and Lautaro is better than what the latter have shown between them. The Piacenza coach will not rely on these data or on his good luck fame, but every time he is asked who plays in attack, he smiles. Inzaghi always falls on his feet, indeed, he does not fall at all.
