Unfortunate Nerazzurri: a pole and a crossbar. The 44 -year -old goalkeeper Fabio is the protagonist who neutralizes every Nerazzurri attack: the Brazilians pass after just 3 ‘with a cano and double in the final with Hercules. In the quarterfinals against the winner of Manchester City-Al-Hilal
It depended on Inter and Inter was no longer at the World Cup. Tired, distracted, disorganized. It is not enough to enter the game in the last quarter of an hour, hitting a pole with Lautaro and a crossbar with Dimarco, but suffering the second unbalanced goal, to legitimize the quarterfinals. The Fluminense di Renato, Brazilian team with Argentine attitude, aggression, grit, malice, a few mezzuccio but also tactical organization and team sense that the new Inter still does not have, deservedly forward. The Nerazzurri leave the match immediately, in the 3 ‘, when a series of free distractions of the goal for the goal. And when they delude themselves to be able to return they are still punished, in the recovery, by Hercules. The 2-0 is all there. Not that Inter culled dreams of glory, from PSG to City to Bayern today are all stronger, but the round of 16 were the goal to overcome. Instead everyone at home in advance, with many notes on the notebook, many reflections to do and, from the words of Lautaro, many slags.
Barella is saved
–
End of the season, sixty -three games, many absent, some stomach pains, but the future worries a little. Interventions are urgent. Perhaps the only good news from Charlotte is that something has changed in the second half with the new ones. Susic, as Boban says that knows him well, is a project of a great multi -rocker midfielder who only has to play continuously. Carboni has personality and dribbling. Sebastiano Esposito, the other Esposito, still gives movement in attack by freeing Lautaro, so far embarrassing and not only for the modest collaboration of Thuram. The rest is bad, if you exclude a last stretcher to surrender and always lucid in the invitations to the attack actions. Male Dancer but never vertical, Miki for which the field seemed too long, de vrij misdited in the key moments, dumfries who without rhythm becomes transparent. And well, very well, the fluminense.
Fluminense practical
–
Now we don’t think it is the best team in Brazil. In the phase in groups he had not given the impression of the Flamengo and the Botafogo who, however, came out. Two peers and goals only to the Obbum Koreans. Renato’s more pragmatic of Brazilian. So on the piece to change tactics, abandoning-they say for the first time-the defense to four for a 3-4-1-2 with all the pawns in the right place. Inter are felt in this labyrinth. Thiago Silva, on the other hand, did not lose its direction at the center of the defense, the exteriors Xavier and Renè run and cover, the median Martinelli-Bernal is very defensive to intervene in front of the area, and non-lines, disturbs the interista setting. But the show is Arias who, from the right, invents descents, dribbling, spectacular touches and, above all, the assist of 1-0 immediate: De Vrij is wrong, sticks deflectively deflects, Darmian “hole”, and is the perfect omelette to start -1.
FLUS guerrilla
–
The problem is that Inter are unsolved, keeps 68 percent ball and does not combine anything, just to make the idea of how the fluminense facilitates. The first half is truly to be forgotten. An opportunity for Dimarco and then a slow, predictable giropalla, with repetition errors of Lautaro and anyone who tried a variation. On the other hand, at these rhythms, it was easy for the Fluminense to defend to five, even six times, and reject the threat. There is no articulated maneuver for Renato: immediately Lancione per Arias or Cano, and arrival at speed from behind others. Guerrilla tactics, quick and lethal assault, then again in the bushes. Inter gives the illusion of being short, 25 meters, but with the static interpreters it seems very long. The Fluminense is in the middle of the season and can be seen, but it is not an excuse.
that finals
–
The awakening of the second half suggests that something can change. Barella concentrates, with Sucic and carbon half of the movement. Then Chivu goes to 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2, moving Luis Henrique to the left (better) and Esposito next to Lautaro. With deeper attacks and entered the defense of Renato decided, he loses a few blows: de Vrij leans out of a nothing, Lautaro makes the pole tremble and, on 0-2, Dimarco stamps the crossbar. But before this “outburst”, the Fluminense on the counterattack is more dangerous. Arias touches the goal and Hercules, with Inter ahead and out of position, inflicts them on 2-0 to 48 ‘of the second half. Now wait for the City of Guardiola, unless the inzaghi al Hilal overturns a result that seems written.
interventions
–
No Inzaghi for Inter, no PEP, and with the early return home the “zero vacation” effect will be at least attenuated. While the players will detach all the contacts, for Chivu and the company will be time of evaluations: given the age, the drop in performance and some disagreement, it is not exaggerated thinking that at least two central defenders, a director and a side are indispensable. Rifondation no, deep renewal yes.
