Inter-Salernitana 5-0: goals from Lautaro (3) and Dzeko (2)

Otherwise we get angry. Returning from colorless performances (with inevitable criticism), perhaps Lautaro and Barella in retreat saw the old film with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill and decided to let off steam with poor Salernitana. The fact remains that the two rocked Inter after a black month, bringing them back to the goal, to victory and to the top of the table, waiting for Napoli-Milan (but always with the match to be recovered in Bologna). All in one night, because on the two assists of an assatanato future Captain, Toro has also returned to score a goal (then they will become three) that he had been missing in the league since last December 17, right in the away match in Salerno. Without forgetting Dzeko’s brace in the second half, the two of them take the titles but the whole team of Inzaghi is back to grind a great kick. If it will be enough to get rid of the torpor of February, more than Tuesday’s trip to Liverpool (an Everest even if there was Barella, who is disqualified), the challenges against Turin and Fiorentina will say it, before the break. And Juventus …

The choices

–

The supposed turnover of Inzaghi is reduced to the inclusion of Darmian on the left for Perisic, however, stopped by fatigue. Ahead are Dzeko and Lautaro. Behind do not touch Skriniar, De Vrij and Bastoni, as well as Barella, Brozovic and Calhanoglu in the middle of the field and Dumfries on the right. With Ribery out and Bonazzoli recovered only for the bench, Nicola is aiming for a 4-2-3-1 with Djuric at the end of the attack and the trio Kastanos, Mousset and Verdi in front of the couple Coulibaly-Ederson. In the middle of the defense are Dragusin and Fazio.

First half

–

A black month leaves inevitable waste. So Inter immediately charged with his head down, but without lucidity. So much so that in the 4 ‘he has to bless Verdi who all alone in front of Handanovic busts his left foot after a counterattack triggered by a 60-meter throw by Mousset that inexplicably opens the way for Djuric, good at finishing for the former Torino. Having escaped the danger, the Nerazzurri, however, resume the assault on Sepe’s goal. Lautaro tries in every way, but the header is central, the right hits the goalkeeper and the left makes the crossbar tremble for a minute. The assist was from Barella, who on 23 ‘is repeated with a great filter. This time the Bull finds the corner that makes the pressure cooker explode which is the Meazza. Inter have blood in their eyes and won’t let go. An unleashed Barella still fishes Lautaro in the center of the area, who this time vanishes but a minute later forces Sepe to fly on a right-footed wave. Nicola tries by reversing Verdi and Kastanos, but the two help a little Coulibaly and Ederson, while Mousset after a promising start is swallowed up by a Brozovic who has returned to being a magnet and lucid in the direction. And when Salernitana tries to raise the center of gravity, she risks on the counterattack, with Ranieri who is miraculous on Dumfries on 30 ‘, sought by Darmian after a 40-meter gallop. Even the two outsiders hammer which is a pleasure, forcing the bells to widen the meshes of a slow and unprotected defense. Thus Inter still punishes her in central ways and on the usual axis. The 39th minute runs when Lautaro starts an action that Brozovic and an overflowing Barella perfect for Toro himself, who slips between Ranieri and Fazio and scores a left-footed brace.

Second half

–

No changes in the interval. And the ferocity of the Italian champions does not change either, who at the first real lunge drop the trio with the Raging Bull, deadly in the 56th minute in anticipating Dragusin on Dzeko’s low cross. Nicola tries to plug some flaws with Zortea and Perotti for Verdi and Mousset. But the large advantage also allows Inzaghi to catch his breath in sight of Anfield De Vrij, Darmian and Calhanoglu. Inside Ranocchia, Gosens and Vidal. The former Atalanta takes a few seconds to gain the bottom and put a candy in the center that Dzeko just has to unwrap. Same scene a few minutes later, but with Dumfries’ right assist. At 69 ‘it is 5-0 and Inter have scored more goals than in the previous seven outings. There is also room for Gagliardini and Correa (out of Brozo and Dzeko himself) in an academy final, with the Nerazzurri who continue to have fun and push – Correa eats three goals and Toro one – and Salernitana sparring. partner, making sense of Handanovic’s cold night only with Djuric’s header.
