Finally, the Nerazzurri have two valid alternatives to the Thula: Esposito in a short time conquered the Interists, the Frenchman was devastating to the first as a starter at San Siro

But if they had been present in the Inter squad already last year, instead of the various Arnautovic, Correa and Taremi, would the Inter season be closed equally with zero titles? It is clear that with the “se” and with the “but” but we cannot make particularly articulated reasoning, but the change of pace has been remarkable. Thanks (also) to Bonny and Pio Esposito, the second Nerazzurri offensive lines that finally determine every time they are used. Inter went from three alternatives to the Lautaro-Thuram couple not very incisive to two who took little time to convince … everyone. Especially after the last week: Pio closed the games in Cagliari with the first center in Serie A with Inter, Bonny took the stage of San Siro at the first to be the owner with a goal and 3 assists, participating in all 4 Nerazzurri goals against Cremonese. And the comparison with the predecessors, merciless, smiles with a very large advance to the new Inter -pair already after a handful of games.

Numbers in hand, the Pio-Bonny couple scored 3 goals and served 3 assists in 10 overall league games (4 the first and 6 the second, but for the most part only in a few minutes broken). Last year, 3 had been the goals of Taremi in 43 appearances, 2 those of Correa in 22. Total: 5 goals in 65 games played by the two. The particular case, however, bears the name of Marko Arnautovic. Because it is true that the Serbian has been very often criticized due to a long series of factors (continuous physical problems, indolence, little precision in front of the door), but in the desert of alternatives to the Thula of the last season the Austrian was the only incisive: 4 goals in just 542 ‘of Serie A were worth a respectable average of one center every 135’, to which must be added 2 assists, however decisive and another 3 goals between Champions League and Cup Italy. Although, another factor, Simone Inzaghi should also be underlined, employed the former Bologna in games at least on simple paper, when he could do without one between Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram. What matters, beyond any confrontation with the recent past, is that today it seems that Inter has finally found substitutes at the height of the owners. But the regret of knowing how it would have closed last season … remains.
