Inzaghi and Inter management: choices and humanity. Ravelli’s comment on the Gazzetta

Perhaps not surprisingly, the major praise to Simone Inzaghi in recent months have come from abroad. Thierry Henry (Post Arsenal): “What Inzaghi tactically offers is a little crazy. When you see the central defenders in midfield, your left center very wide on the left wing, the central one below him who crosses for the other central in the opposing area … and if you pause, the three midfielders are playing as a central defenders to get the ball out. I have not seen many teams. history”. Pep Guardiola (Post Barcelona, ​​gone): “I think Inter has once again shown that he is incredible, as when we beat it in the Champions League final. He defends well, he manages the transitions, he is physical and well organized. Simone Inzaghi is an exceptional manager”.

admirers

This is to say that even before the night of San Siro, and the 4-3 which is destined to get out of the Chat of the Interists to fix itself in a less fleeting thing like the collective memory of a fans, Inzaghi had already collected a series of admirers. Including those who are most interested in him, namely the leaders of Inter and Oakree: if thanks to his path in the Champions League, Inter could (however the challenge with Flick’s kids had ended) to boast the balance of the budget, with the conquest of the final we can talk about an active (discreet) active. And it is also from these details that a US fund (and not only him) judges his men. In Italy it has not always gone like this. Exalctions, of course, accompanied by a continuous low criticism, characterized the Interista Inzaghi path. And the reason explained it after the feat of San Siro one of his loyalists, Federico Dimarco, who many would have liked on the bench the other night against Barcelona because in the reserve of energy, that Inzaghi has punctually deployed and that he passed by creating some difficulties at the small genius Lamine Yamal: “Since we lost the Scudetto in the first year with Milan it was a whole climb. deserved “.

Inzaghi, Conte and the history

–

Here is the original sin, that many fans and commentators have never forgiven Inzaghi, to which is added the data of the 15 points less in the championship than last season and the very likely perspective of a championship that took the way to Naples (also because in the next games it is plausible to think that Inter will spare the owners): the passage of the shifts in the final phase of Champions does not just justify, even if it has wanted On all fronts to the end it is a right reason for pride. “Those who win make the story, the others read it,” said Antonio Conte, but – he ended up the championship – that of Inzaghi is likely to be a beautiful reading, however he goes to Munich on May 31st. Even before knowing the outcome of the final (which, useless to be hypocritical, will make the shooting of the judgments again adjust) it is right to put some staples now and recognize the merits of Inzaghi who, up to here, has also been right on the methods of managing resources and changes.

contributions

Critical for the repetitiveness of the choices (sometimes predictable to the millimeter, they were decided by an artificial intelligence), not only on owners and changes, but also on the minutes to be attributed to the individual players, Inzaghi has won a semifinal to extra time against a monstrous team with the decisive contribution of the successful ones (Although this could also be the clue that someone could have more space), like Frattesi, who thought of going elsewhere to play more, and instead ended up being decisive here.

During the difficulties

And then it is a fact that the group has never lost its compactness and in this the leader always has a decisive role. If even the terrible week with three defeats, an objective (the Italian Cup) vanished and another (the Scudetto) almost, did not produce hysteria, the merit has especially inzaghi. “Even in moments of difficulty he knows how to break the tension with a few jokes, this is his great strength” (always Dimarco): it seems the description of a Ancelottian stretch even if the activism (euphemism) of the last Inzaghi on the bench seems to give to his charge that perhaps only Mourinho had been able to transmit in these parts. And we know how it ended.
