Inter, Inzaghi fears post-cup declines. In Cagliari with Bastoni and Correa

The performance of the Nerazzurri is often penalized by midweek commitments. After the 120 minutes with Juve, the blue and Tucu are back

Inter returned to training in the morning (even if the Cup holders unloaded) after the victory over Juve on Wednesday in Rome. Between returning late at night and psychophysical expenditure in the 120 ‘of the Olimpico, Inzaghi rightly gave the team a day of rest yesterday. But from today he has targeted Sunday night’s away match in Cagliari. Paying close attention to the management of forces, given that in front of them there will be a rested team, pushed by an exhausted stadium in search of salvation.

Hardship after the Cup

Inter come from six victories in the last seven league days. She fell only in Bologna, but after the victory on 3 April at Juventus – preceded by the famous 7 points in seven rounds – she resumed a championship march. The February-March slowdown was due precisely to the calendar. Returning to just one commitment a week, the Inzaghi gang has found a leg up, play and certainty. The seasonal score confirms that the commitment following that of Wednesday, however, can cut the legs. In 13 league engagements after the Champions League, Super Cup or Italian Cup, Inter have won 7 matches, drew 5 and lost one.

Dumfries is back too

One more reason to ponder training choices up to the end. Arrived two curves from the finish, however, we will continue with the usual suspects. With just 2-3 variations compared to the eleven anti Juve. In defense Bastoni could return out of the match against Roma (April 23) due to resentment against the soleus. Inzaghi did not want to risk the blue in the Cup (he only entered in the final minutes) but should propose it again on Sunday, even if D’Ambrosio and Dimarco did well in his place. On the right, Dumfries – initially on the bench against Juve – should take back the shirt to Darmian’s advantage. And then there is the inevitable run-off in attack. In the game of shifts Lautaro should stay out, always a starter in the last few outings, but Toro is hot and, barring surprises, it will be his turn again. Alongside him Correa clearly favored over Dzeko. The team will carry out the finishing in Appiano tomorrow morning and after lunch they will fly to Sardinia. The only one unavailable, Vecino.
