Everything was easy for the Nerazzurri with Lautaro (a brace), Frattesi and De Vrij. Recovery against Atalanta on Wednesday: Inzaghi could go to +12
– LECCE
At this rate we will only have to focus on the calendar: when will this tyrannical Inter sew the coveted second star on their chest? This 0-4 in Salento is yet another proof of power and dominance, even with a largely revamped lineup. Inzaghi remains at +9 with a game in hand, takes no prisoners even in the province and celebrates Lautaro’s entry into the club of centenarians: 100th and then 101st Nerazzurri goal in Serie A. It’s only February 25th and Toro has already scored more in the league than the last two seasons, which so far were the most prolific of his career: we are already at 22, imagining where he can reach at this rate is an interesting exercise because there seem to be no limits for the Inter captain. Furthermore, just to discourage the competition, the alleged reserves also shine, from Frattesi-goal to Sanchez. For Lecce, however, it really risks going badly: after the sixth defeat in the last seven, they resist for just over a time before the shipwreck and also take a “scourge” from the curve, which requires a bit of heart in this race -salvation.
THE deployments
—
Inzaghi’s forced turnover, designed in view of the match against Atalanta on Wednesday, affects all departments, partly by choice and partly by necessity. It is Sommer’s influence and Calha’s fatigue that opens up the field for Audero and Asllani: the former Samp goalkeeper is making his Serie A debut, for the Albanian a new opportunity as a director. The fixer Carlos Augusto slides into defense, alongside De Vrij and the new Bisseck, while Dumfries returns to the starting position on the right with Dimarco on the other side. Inzaghi then brings back both Frattesi as a raider in place of Barella and Sanchez as Lautaro’s sidekick despite the impatient Arna. On the contrary, D’Aversa plans the impossible feat by surprisingly placing Blin in the central two-man barrier next to Ramdani and using Piccoli as a lone striker: in the 4-2-3-1, behind the Atalanta school center forward, Rafia advanced with Almqvist on the right and Samson on the left.
the beginning
—
To puncture the Salento defense line – Gendrey, Baschirotto, Touba, Gallo always a little too… wide – Inter choose to hit mainly on the right, where that parsley Alexis always calls the play. The goal that directs the match already in the 15th minute, however, comes from a bizarre central strike because it was born on the restart: Asllani’s outside pass is beautiful and perhaps even more so the stop and shot from the centenary Lautaro. The error of D’Aversa’s defense is double, Baschirotto misses the offside and Touba is crumbly in marking, but the piece of skill is entirely Argentine. His partner for the day, Sanchez, has much more desire than usual and immediately sets up a chance to double the lead on the left foot of Mkhitaryan, the only confirmed midfield starter amid so much turnover. With these assumptions, the Nerazzurri are always quite in control with assists from Il Niño and low crosses from Dumfries not exploited properly. A bit of superficiality and a few affected backward passes, however, bring unwanted thrills for Audero: the central defenders always put a patch on it, even Bisseck has to make the most of his Roman centurion physique to make up for some of his own mistakes.
THE RECOVERY
—
The change that was not expected at the start of the second half was that of the referee: Doveri had to leave due to injury (Via del Mare rejoiced at the speaker’s announcement), in his place was fourth official Baroni. Lecce’s ambitions for a comeback were dashed in the 47th minute on the post behind the goal, hit by a diving header from Blin following a cross from Gallo from the left: it was the best opportunity of the match, but also the start of the landslide. Ultimately, Inter remains true to itself regardless of the interpreters, it carries forward a precise playing philosophy, which starts from the bottom even with many reservations, and this brand gives it a previously unknown security and helps to govern every moment of the matches. matches.
THE PARTY
—
And then there’s that touch of magic in the air that can only be felt in winning years: so, in just over 20 minutes, top-of-the-table Inter went from the risk of 1-1 to a round and resounding 0-4 . The second goal was scored in the 54th minute by the overflowing Frattesi with a tap-in after a splendid invention by Sanchez, who was very skilled at passing the ball between a thousand legs. Just two minutes later, Frattesi himself, always taking advantage of the Chilean, took on the role of assist-man and set up Lautaro’s brace of the day. The poker is in the 67th minute with a header from De Vrij, when Lecce has already disappeared from the field for some time. For the Salento team, a left-footed shot from Piccoli just outside and Banda’s liveliness coming off the bench are only palliatives, to avoid being sucked into the standings once and for all, much more will be needed. Given the score and the close matches, Inzaghi also eventually operates a turnover within the turnover, bringing in the various Kllassen, Arna, Buchanan (wide on the left) and the boy Akisanmiro without ever retreating. After all, there is such a festive air around Inter that anyone wearing Nerazzurri would now be having fun on the pitch.
