Luciano Spalletti has understood the mistakes of Euro 2024, above all that of not having settled on the most used module in the championship and on the block of theInter. It is one of the many messages that arrive from the beautiful Italy seen in Paris, walking on France. Frattesi also scored, but before him Federico Dimarcowho opens the match with a Milanese-style sonnet-style volley. The goal that launches the Azzurri’s success, the main reason why the Nerazzurri winger wins his personal derby with Theo Hernandezfeared rival on the banks of the Navigli.
Seven in a row. Dimarco has won many consecutive matches against his French colleague, who last time – between the national team and club matches – managed to win in September 2022. Another world. Beyond the team results, the individual ones: at the time Theo was already the (rightly) celebrated starter for Milan, considered among the best in Europe in his role; Dimarco, a product of the Inter youth system who returned home, not a starter and not even sure of the role, given that Simone Inzaghi was still studying him as a left-handed winger.
As the weeks and games went by, Dimarco ate up that gap, not to mention the Frenchman. Today you can give preference to one or the other, but the level is the same, that of the top in the world. Indeed, direct challenges in hand, for what was said earlier, there would not even be doubts, but de gustibus. Credit first of all to Inzaghi himself: the growth of the boy from Porta Romana is perhaps the best result – at the individual level – of the work of the Piacenza player. Credit above all to Dimarco himself: head down and pedal, a golden left foot but also a lot of tactical intelligence to make up for what was missing. The balance smiles on him, waiting for the next derby: it is very close, appointment at San Siro on September 22.
