Inter won a difficult match in Pisa, finding the return of the goal of the controversial Lautaro Martinez. For once Chivu took on the role of someone who leaves the field with the three points without having dominated
Fed up with always losing the same match, Inter decided to change the script in Pisa and win a “dirty” match for once. It had already happened in Verona, to tell the truth, and there a considerable dose of good luck had also come into play with the own goal with time almost up, without which Chivu’s boys would have left Bentegodi with two precious points. TO Pisahowever, Inter did the complete opposite of what they did in the derby and in Madrid: they risked more than their opponent, created less (before the brace from Lautaro Martinez the statistics of xGoal rewarded the hosts), played at pace and won.
At Allegri, short-sighted, even if the result in the end was even more reassuring than expected while with the game still open we took note of the difficulties in getting around the ferocious organization imposed by Gilardino on his team, the physical solidity of Nzola, the counter-attacks in the open field and a few too many inaccuracies and slips scattered here and there throughout all departments.
It is possible that the physical and psychological strains of the battles against Milan and Atletico Madrid had an impact on Inter’s performance, one of the worst of the season. Anyone who looks at the glass and finds it half full points out that what mattered was bringing home the three points, keeping in Milan’s wake and in very close contact with the top of the table. Critics will have filled their notebooks with notes on what went wrong ahead of a week of reflection.
Some free ideas: as with all teams, having an attacker who scores makes a difference and in Pisa Chivu got a saving brace from Lautaro Martinez. Those who don’t like him will say that they are the usual goals in the province, but it is also true that in the end they bring points just like everyone else. Special observation was Luis Henrique and it cannot be said that he passed the test, from which it follows that Inter have a significant problem on the right.
So so Sucicunusually imprecise Sticks, Unripe And Dimarcointermittently Calhanoglu And Stretcher. Bad Thuram. In short, all the conditions to at least fill the draw box (still zero in the season) and instead Chivu returns to Milan with a victory that restores points, morale and ranking to a troop that needs to take a breather. The week of the Italian Cup can be an opportunity not to be missed.
