The Bosnian scores in the first half and scores Dumfries in the second half. Never dangerous Czechs: Bucha sent off in the 61st minute
Another brick, this time European after the one already placed at home, and Inter are starting to find the right path also in this season which began zigzagging a little too much: the 2-0 net in Bohemia, against a crystal Viktoria Plzen , above all gives Simone Inzaghi the opportunity to almost definitively erase the bad memories of Milan and Bayern. More convincing opponents will be needed to verify the definitive recovery, and Sottil’s tough Udinese on Saturday is, but the Nerazzurri can return to Milan with a dose of renewed optimism. And with three points that move the Champions League standings: they will be useful at the end of the day in this terrible group.
THE SHOT
–
The last doubts from turnover, dissolved only in the morning, lead Inzaghi to a rather creative formation: from the confirmation of the excellent Onana seen with Bayern to the absolute debut of Acerbi in the lands of De Vrij, from the return of Mkhitaryan’s inspiration to the noisy exclusion of Lautaro. It might seem too much, but not against this little Viktoria Plzen that not even the folkloric home crowd can arouse. Indeed, the fear of the 3-5-2 Interista is so great that the coach Bilek at the start distorts the classic form to mirror himself with respect to his rivals: thus he thinks to protect the wings and, instead, it is there, especially on the right, that the ‘Inter breaks through with Dumfries. The Dutchman has the whole left chain of the Czechs warned, ie Sykora plus Jemelka. The goal, which is smelled in the air of Plzen between the smell of beers and sausages, arrives inexorably thanks to the cheerful markings in the center of the defenders area: Gosens, who finds himself in the middle, cleans a nice ball, then ferried by Correa for Dzeko up to the diagonal-goal of the Bosnian. Only at that point, the coach Bilek returns to his traditional 4-2-3-1, lifting and sending the poor Sykora exhausted by Dumfries to the other wing. At least in this way some crosses from the right arrive, but nothing that tickles Onana: too much the difference in technical values and too much space that is granted to an excellent Brozo to think. And to the Dzeko-Correa couple for a duet. It is no coincidence that the other great occasion of the time always happens in Edin’s feet: from the right, however, he ends worse than his teammate.
THE CLOSURE
–
The second half takes place according to the same script, but has an initial protagonist: goalkeeper Stanek, who sees Inter players emerge from all sides. He has to work overtime another couple of times on Dzeko and, above all, take a header from the revived Gosens out of the corner: we are not yet at the true levels of the German, who too often gets caught behind, but the improvement is evident. The commitment of the Czech goalkeeper is contrasted by the tremendous loneliness of Chory, the striker who on the eve of the danger number 1: he does not rub half a ball and not only because of him. Then, after a quarter of an hour, Barella climbed in the laps leads Bucha to a fallaccio that from yellow turns red with the Var: in advantage of a man, the Nerazzurri would only need to govern the ball and get into the growing spaces. Yet it is here that the greatest danger of the match materializes, with an impromptu sortie by Sykora walled by Skriniar: after the silence on the contract, the Slovak has produced a solid performance as in the good times. The small thrill, however, has the effect of waking Inter from the risk of being satisfied and here is the 2-0 served with a restart made in a workmanlike manner: first the spike of Correa who launches Dzeko, then the intelligent play of the Bosnian towards Dumfries who closes on the net. It is the worthy conclusion of a match in which the Dutchman asserted the excessive physical power against smaller opponents. There is also glory for Onana, otherwise inactive: the Cameroonian, who will contend for the place for the whole season in Handa, stretches well out on Bassey, the reserve center forward who has done much better than the very titular Chory. Udinese will have a very different physicality and a greater effort will be needed, but Inzaghi’s Inter has also begun to fuel in Europe.
