incidents
Match corresponding to day 20 of Serie A played at the Giovanni Zini Stadium.
‘Toro’ Martínez is still in a state of grace, who opened the captaincy with a vital double for his team after the defeat against Empoli last day and added his eleventh goal of the season in the Italian domestic championship.
And it is that Inter, who at the beginning of the season seemed to be going to support Lukaku offensively, He has found the best version of a world champion Lautaro who seems determined to lead the ‘Nerazzurri’ team. He has six goals in his last six games.
The night did not start well for the group directed by Simone Inzaghi, who saw how Okereke put Cremonese ahead in the 11th minute, in what was the first shot on goal of the matchwith one of the goals of the season, a forehand from the front that slipped through the very squad making Onana’s stretch totally useless.
The Inter game hadn’t been bad by any means until that moment, but the goal threw him off balance for a few minutes in which he lost order. Once recovered, Inter carbureted again and it didn’t take long to make their superiority effective.
Dzeko finished off Calhanoglu’s cross free of mark from the corner kick but Carnesecchi was attentive under the sticks and managed to avoid the Bosnian’s goal, leaving, yes, a rejection inside the area that Lautaro hunted to tie the contest in the 21st minute.
The good work of the Interistas continued, which hardly suffered against a recently promoted Cremonese who, although they eliminated Napoli from the Coppa Italia and with Bellardini as the new coach, is still without victory in Serie A.
However, it was not until well into the second half, in the 64th minute, when Lautaro returned to exhibit his great moment of form and his superiority over the defense of the locals. The recent world champion received a precise pass from Dzeko, his best ally, inside the area, before taking a powerful shot without looking at the goal that tipped the balance in favor of the ‘Nerazzurri’.
Lautaro is necessary for Inter to remain with options in each game. Without a striker at the level of the Argentine, Inter loses offense. The ‘Nerazzurri’ are second, waiting for the Milan game, ten behind the leader, a Naples that plays against Mourinho’s Roma in a game that could keep the flame of the ‘Scudetto’ alive.
