Who knows if Simone Inzaghi’s detractors remember when they criticized the coach from Piacenza. Third consecutive Italian Super Cup semi-final, just to start 2025 off well. Perhaps it hasn’t been the most brilliant Inter since it took over as Nerazzurri coach, but the strength it has shown is always there: going to get every ball, regardless of everything . Even with the defense plastered, victories and points arrived, no small feat in modern football that runs at a thousand miles per hour.
And with such a victory then what should we do? Go look for what’s wrong. And unfortunately my dear Lautaro I am writing to you. Let’s start from an assumption, you remain among the strongest attackers around. Then there’s Inzaghi who has absolute respect for the subject: “For me Lautaro played a great match, to be praised. He could have scored, let’s say he found Carnesecchi on some occasions who performed a couple of miracles”. So, the overall performance isn’t all to be thrown away, but that obsession with scoring goals blocks soul and legs, head and heart. And it is in these moments that we must intervene, understand what is wrong and then start again in the best possible way: the frenzy of doing well cannot be the solution to all ills, also because it is true that goals are our daily bread of those who attack, but similar performances risk having an even greater impact.
So what? So it doesn’t work like this, you need to sit there, reflect and not be in such a hurry to throw it in. There are bad moments, there are also moments when everything goes wrong, but getting stuck like that risks becoming a worse problem. The boy will do it, to laugh about it and move on, but it’s better to think calmly. Especially with a team like that behind you.
