Inter, Dzeko and Correa challenge Lautaro and Lukaku

Stories of upturned destinies and sudden, not to say unexpected, turns. They are the ones that bind Edin Dzeko and Joaquin Correa, the two “secondary” protagonists of the summer soap opera developed around Paulo Dybala. The Bosnian and the Tucu have lived almost two months with the prospect of having to change scenery after just one season with the Nerazzurri to make room for the arrival of the Joya, but the last 48 hours have upset what seemed an almost predictable script: from possible (not to say probable) starters to reconfirmed, with the certainty, however, of occupying a secondary role in the hierarchies of the new Inter branded LuLa. Inzaghi’s stay at the court, at this point substantially certain, offers both the opportunity to demonstrate that they can still have their say and that the Nerazzurri attack is really complete, as the coach said on the eve of the match. gathering.

Against age

Dzeko’s prospects were reversed after the sensational return of Lukaku, who returned to take back his place at the center of the attack he had left to the Bosnian a year earlier. To be clear, the Bosnian certainly does not claim a starting position, however he feels he is still up to the jersey and is ready to give his contribution and take advantage of the space that Inzaghi will want to grant him. The 17 goals and 10 assists of last year, on the other hand, certify the reliability and importance of the former Giallorossi who firmly wanted to stay by rejecting any hypothesis of sale, just to demonstrate that the 36 years on the d ‘card identities are simply a number. For the Bosnian, expiring in 11 months, the aim now is to silence all those who think he is boiled and, why not, perhaps deserve a new contract. The trust of the technician, net of the desire to Joya, it still remains intact, so Dzeko knows it will have its own space. A space that, according to the moods and conditions of the LuLa, could even be larger than what was estimated today. Not to mention that, with the prospect of adopting the 3-4-1-2 from time to time, the Sarajevo forward could also be very useful in the role of attacking playmaker.

Redemption objective

–

A bit of the same role that, in light of what we glimpsed in the first summer tests, could also relaunch Correa’s prices. Unlike the Bosnian, the Tucu he must redeem a year well below expectations, because the 6 goals scored so far (concentrated in three double goals) cannot be enough to justify the 31 million paid to take him to Milan. The three months of forced stop due to injuries have certainly contributed to fueling the problems of insertion that Correa seemed to overcome only in the final part of the season. That’s why the Tucu he worked hard, presenting himself in a polished retreat, without giving too much rope to the rumors that Inter were looking for buyers. The Argentine is determined to settle what he considers an unfinished business, first of all with himself, and the commitment made in the training of this first part of summer preparation is a clear signal also for the coach: the Tucu there is and, at the dawn of 28 years (in just under a month) he wants to make the definitive leap in quality to prove that he is not a simple reinforcement. Inzaghi’s tactical alternatives can certainly facilitate him by opening up new horizons. The same ones that the market dynamics have upset by giving him a second chance not to be missed. The Tucu he knows it won’t be easy with those two up front, but he’s ready to play it.
