Inter, from Bologna to Florence: the nightmare continuous recovery

The nine companions will look at each other by whispering the fateful question to each other: “Still?”. Still. Inter are one of the few teams in the world in which the word “recovery” rhymes with “nightmare”. From Bologna to Fiorentina.

Shock recovery

–

The Inzaghi gang comes out of the Franchi with the cheeks perched by the three slaps suffered by the viola: two rejected the usual Kean, one captain Ranieri. Bastoni, De Vrij, Darmian, Dumfries, Dimarco, Barella, Calhanoglu and Lautaro were also at Dall’Ara that April night, who on the field from the beginning and who on the bench (also present correa, today out for injury). It was 2022 Last year he chased away -4-0 at Atalanta -this time he returned to torment him. And in a context where Inter was the favorite: he had not lost in the league for five months (2-1 in the derby), away even from 2024 (0-1 against Sassuolo with a Scudetto already won). In the last 17 challenges in Serie A he had collected 14 successes and three draws. He had scored 30 goals away from San Siro, conceding only six. Franchi collected three in 45 ‘. This year Inter collected only one point in the two recoveries played unscheduled. A curse.

Now the race becomes tough. Napoli is three points, and before the direct clash of early March, Inter will challenge Fiorentina to San Siro, Juventus at the Allianz Stadium, Genoa at home and Lazio in San Siro in the Italian Cup. The blues will have one game less. The Nerazzurri will embrace spring with a head -to -head destined to last until the last. It will be necessary to arm on the double delivery concentration. Bologna-Inter was recovered between the 34th and 35th day. This time, from here to the end, there will be more games. The thread that binds the two nightmares is one: the error. From Radu to Dimarco. At Dall’Ara he was decisive in a clear way, this time he allowed Kean to close a race already won. The recovery ghost also blocked Arnautovic’s eyes, guilty of having scored the reopening ball two meters from the door. In 2022 he was in Bologna and scored the same goal. A coincidence that knows of mockery.
