The Dutchman is often at the same height as the attackers. Out Gosens: extraordinary in Bologna and Udine for Ivan
According to Stefano Pioli’s zoology manual, they would be jaguars. The fastest animals in this wilderness championship. Denzel Dumfries on one side and Ivan Perisic on the other therefore run across the Inter savannah hoping to overtake the hungry lions. The goal is not to get eaten one step away by the prey, which would then be the second star. When asked about the book of the jungle, those interested are niche: it seems that they prefer to be compared to two tigers, roaring in a team that has returned to aggressive.
Timing
–
Beyond the scientific disclosure, Inter has however spread its wings at the right moment, thanks to them who have scored five goals each in this league: Ivan the terrible and the sulky Denzel are not only traditional outsiders, but in Simone’s 5-a-side midfield they make the pendulum without getting tired. For example, for Perisic it is not enough just to inundate the opposing areas with crosses, in the Italian Cup against Milan leonino came out of nowhere as the last defender, even beyond Handanovic. The last minute intervention on Kessie’s percussion, one centimeter from the line, weighed like a goal on qualification. On the contrary, Dumfries stands out because he hangs more in front, not even Lautaro: during the construction phase he is curiously often high on the same line as the attackers. The goal against Roma was born precisely from this position sewn on him by Simone Inzaghi to take advantage of all his exuberance.
True striker
–
For one evening, in the Cup derby, Dumfries gave way to the evergreen Darmian, less flashy than Denzel but reliable like few others: it was Matteo who paved the way for Lautaro for the first goal of the party. The right-wing governor, however, remains the Dutchman, who has returned to full force against Mou. After all, José’s Roma baptized his entire year of Italian initiation: the number 2 had scored the first Nerazzurri goal at the Olimpico and closed the circle on Saturday at San Siro. In between, a vertical growth, supported by companions even in moments of discouragement. For example, the embrace that D’Ambrosio dedicated to him in Empoli was balmy and surprising: the week before Dumfries had, in fact, given Juve a penalty with an unfortunate intervention. It is said about him that he has a hilarious character, well beyond a natural Dutch reserve: that sulking is just a pose, he loves having fun slowly as he discovers the Italian language. On the pitch, however, he is succeeding in a feat: silencing the many widows of Hakimi. At the moment he has two goals less than the Moroccan, but in A only Udinese’s Molina (6) has scored more than him among the outside defenders. But the wing here is only a starting point as the Dutchman tends to the center as a center forward. All studied in Simone’s liquid football, in which one no longer plays for traditional roles but for positions to be occupied from time to time: in the Inter average against Roma, he is close to the attacking striker of Dzeko and Lautaro.
Renewal pending
–
Perisic has been a terrific stopper so far. He delayed the explosion of Robin Gosens still waiting for a starting shirt: how to give up the Croatian in this moment of physical omnipotence? According to the plans, the German would have started from the beginning in one of the next two away matches, between Bologna and Udine, but a muscle strain got in the way: there will certainly not be Wednesday and, probably, not even on May 1st in Friuli. . This leads Perisic to work overtime, which is then normal for him. Since he returned from loan to Bayern, Inter have discovered that they have an efficient and performing car at home. At the moment he is one of 9 midfielders in Serie A with at least five assists and as many goals. And only Candreva (exaggerated with 204) has made more crosses than his 132. Looking at the cold numbers, the renewal should not be in question, but there are the new Nerazzurri parameters on salaries: no exceptions are allowed for a 34 year old. The situation is in the same stalemate as ten days ago after the last meeting at the headquarters: the Croatian would like a five-year two-year, Inter promises a year plus an option for the second to 4. If other clubs do not come knocking on the door of Ivan, there would be room to define everything in extremis, before the deadline of 30 June. In the meantime, Ivan, together with his colleague Denzel, does what he can best: he runs in the shield savannah, like the jaguars of Pioli.
