“We are the favourites, we have everything to lose”. Beppe Marotta, in the pre-match of the derby, had been prophetic, despite himself.Interwho came to the derby with the aim of setting the longest positive streak in the challenges with Milan, comes out with broken bones. San Siro is red and black, the derby ends 2-1 for the Devil and returns a ranking that is certainly not enthusiastic.
Dimarco and Sommer are not enough. The goal from the left-back had given the Nerazzurri fans hope, the saves from the Swiss goalkeeper – 7 in the report card – were not enough to avoid the debacle. Many were disappointed: above all Mkhitaryan, booked after losing the ball that started the dance, but the main theme remains the attack: Lautaro with no goals after five games, and Thuram also stopped.
Simone Inzaghi’s words. The Nerazzurri coach’s analysis is very clear: “”We never gave the impression of being a team. We had to do more, me first. Milan deservedly won: they defended better, they were more compact and we played below par, you all saw it. We weren’t the usual Inter, I tried to change something but little changed. It’s a defeat that stings – he said in a press conference – the team approached both the first and second half badly. Those who came on had to do something more: I am the coach and I am responsible, we will take this defeat. It hurts us, we know what the derby is but in football you have to accept it, as long as you analyse it in the right way”.
