Inter-Liverpool, Dzeko regrets, Lautaro hasn’t scored in Europe for 15 months

The big disappointment comes at the height of a match played at par, if not better, against one of the strongest teams in the world. But as against Real, always at the Meazza, Inter fails to score and in the end surrenders to the blows of the opposing champions. So Rodrygo, tonight Firmino and Salah. With the joke, after so many discussions on the strength of the Reds in speed, to have suffered the two goals on free kick. But there remains the problem of a team lacking something to make the leap in quality also in Europe. And that in absolute certain races suffers in the finals. Suffice it to say that in the 7 matches with the top players in the league and in the three with Real and Liverpool, the Nerazzurri never scored in the quarter-hour final, conceding 8 goals. In attack, among other things, Inzaghi begins to have a serious problem, with Lautaro still subdued.

Anger Dzeko

–

The Nerazzurri’s disappointment is all in the face of a distraught Edin Dzeko who, at the age of 36, played his fourth game as a starter in twelve days: “For 75 ‘before taking the goal we did well, created and granted little to them who are among the best in Europe. It’s a shame to score a corner kick where we are usually strong, but these are the great teams. We tried everything, we all gave our best but it wasn’t enough. defeat, we are aware that we have given everything. We will try to the end, but it is certainly not a positive result. Now we focus on Serie A and then see. ”

Sitting Bull

–

In fact, the Nerazzurri managed five sixths of the match well, even reaching 70% of possession in the first half hour of the second half. Inzaghi is left with anger for Calhanoglu’s crossbar (fifth wood in this Champions League, none like Inter) and for not being able to materialize various favorable situations. Ending up surrendering on two set pieces, the game situation in which it was thought that instead the inter cuirassiers could put their opponents in difficulty. Everyone gave their soul, but the feeling remains that to make the leap in quality you need more incisiveness, especially up front. As confirmed by the zero shots on goal, the one that hits a wood is not considered as such. And Lautaro still ends up in the dock. It is true that Konate held the pitch very well and that Van Dijk is perhaps the best central defensive player in the world, fast despite his size, very good at reading and positioning. But the Bull has almost never found a flicker of him, also renouncing to point Van Dijk in an open field situation. And his figures in the Champions League become merciless. After starting with 5 goals in as many games in the ’19-20 edition, the Argentine has in fact been dry since 3 November 2020 (Real-Inter 3-2), for a total of 767 ‘on the pitch without scoring. Given that Martinez is still at 5-0 in Salerno on December 17 in the championship, Inzaghi hopes that he will be released as soon as possible. It’s easy for him to have another chance on Sunday against Sassuolo, when Dzeko could catch his breath and return to Sanchez.
