With a bottom on La Gazzetta dello Sport, Stefano Agresti he talked about Inter’s 1-0 success, the most fashionable result today: A ria fritta. If Antonio Conte is right, according to whom only winning matters because the rest is (precisely) “hot air”, then no coach of the big teams has anything to worry about: Napoli and Inter, Juve and Milan all got their success, all by one to zero, and since last night they have occupied the top four positions in the table in this order. The fact that none of them were completely convincing – the one that achieved the most significant and convincing success was Inzaghi’s team, which advanced to the Olimpico against Roma – is obviously not worth that much: hot air, according to Conte .
Yet, in perspective, the difficulties encountered by head poker have a meaning. After seeing Milan (ten men) suffer until the last second to beat Udinese at San Siro, and Juve only defeat Lazio (ten men) at the end amid the Biancocelesti’s protests, we witnessed two other hard-fought victories for 1-0, although this time away. It is understandable that Inter had problems overcoming Roma. The Nerazzurri started well, created opportunities, then suffered two slaps in a quarter of an hour: first the injury to Calhanoglu, the only irreplaceable player in Inzaghi’s band (yesterday Asllani wasn’t even there, but still the difference with the Turk it’s clear), then Acerbi’s knockout.
At half an hour Inter had lost their technical leader and had already burned two substitution slots. This conditioned it, it is no coincidence that Roma emerged. But the Nerazzurri is a great, mature team that knows how to exploit the weaknesses and mistakes of its opponents. Zalewski and Celik made a double mess, Lautaro exploited it: the match was decided there. And while the excessive physical power and completeness achieved by Thuram continue to impress, a by no means negligible problem arises: Inzaghi had three out of six midfielders out at the Olimpico (also Zielinski as well as Calhanoglu and Asllani) plus Acerbi, he needs to recover them in hurry since the Champions League and especially Juve are coming.”
