Inter-Milan, Lautaro and Sanchez in great shape

Healthy. Gassed. In shape. And in flight! After a night of apprehension, Simone Inzaghi can breathe a sigh of relief. The South American qualifying matches in Qatar 2022 give him Lautaro Martinez and Alexis Sanchez in great shape. Even if – with a derby just around the corner – the doubt remains as to how they will dispose of tiredness due to matches and intercontinental flights.

Goal, dedication and private flight

–

Let’s start with Toro, who took the stage again in an Argentina orphan of Messi. After the goal against Chile last week, Colombia also tamed an Acuña cross from the left in the area in the 29th minute and centered left. Lautaro played 68 minutes, leaving the pitch to Dybala. He dedicates it to his daughter Nina who was having a birthday and then went around the world. “I always do my best in Inter and I feel a great responsibility when I wear the national team jersey,” said Lauti at the end of the match. Now a private flight awaits him to be in Milan as soon as possible and recharge his batteries in view of a derby in which, among other things, he wants to erase that spot of the failed penalty in the first leg.

Inzaghi waits to talk and look Toro and Sanchez in the eye to figure out how to handle them on Saturday night. Based on how their respective flights have gone and the hours of sleep, he hopes that in the afternoon they will be able to do at least one trip to Appiano. But the first and only training in the group will be on Friday. Then Saturday’s muscle awakening will give the technician the last elements on who to choose of the two to support Dzeko. Probably a relay. In this regard, it may be useful to evaluate what happened to Lautaro (Sanchez was often injured) in previous matches after the stops for the national teams. On 12 September (Sunday, at 12.30) Inter go to Sampdoria and Inzaghi focuses on Toro, despite having returned from three games with Argentina and returned on Friday. Our team responds with a goal and in the 62nd minute gives way to Correa, now knocked out. On October 16 (Saturday, 6pm) the coach does not risk any South American and Perisic advances at Lazio alongside Dzeko. Lautaro enters only in the 76th minute but instead of scoring he watches the goals from Felipe and Milinkovic that sanction the only defeat in the league. On November 21 (Sunday evening) the former Racing player plays from 1 ‘against Napoli and returns to scoring after a long fast. Inter wins and never looks back.

Nino Maravilla

–

In the draw right on the next two opponents there is also a lot of Sanchez. One who always leaves his mark when he is well. The scratch against Juve in the Super Cup remains iconic, but Nino has unique characteristics in the Nerazzurri attack. He flickers, the man jumps, ducks between the lines. And now he is also dragging Chile, as happened last night with the great brace that brought Bolivia home and kept alive the hopes of the orphaned Chile of the disqualified Vidal. Sanchez brushed a great punishment and then made an encore at the end of a personal action, on a field that was almost impracticable due to the rain. In short, a battle that Inzaghi hopes will not leave too many toxins. Waiting for Correa (without forgetting Caicedo, who has just arrived), having a Nino Maravilla in addition to Dzeko and Lautaro leaves the whole Nerazzurri world calmer.
