The Rossoneri also know how to fight with a knife between their teeth. Now a Napoli awaits them that won with the thrill. evidently the Champions League is heavy. A nice Toro highlights the Nerazzurri limits: the 3 points save Inzaghi but there is a lot to do
Let’s clarify for the avoidance of doubt: in the long run, the player who plays better always wins. And being beautiful – or beautiful as Allegri says – does not represent an obstacle to victory, but what favors it. That said, Milan are learning to score in many ways: not only by shining but also with a knife between their teeth and by closing themselves “in the box” when needed. In the Champions League he recovered the result by suffering and with Sampdoria he won in ten scoring 2-1 when he risked falling instead. A good sign for the Rossoneri: it means knowing how to be dirty and bad too. Milan is a team, they proved it in a match that after the red to Leao (Napoli will miss) and Djuricic’s equal had changed completely. Goal posts, Maignan saves, a little luck: it is a victory that will weigh if Milan immediately return to play as they know. Giampaolo protested that the referee was not flawlessly managed.
Eightynine. Since yesterday it is the lucky number of Spalletti and Inzaghi who, one minute from the end, find the winning goals against Spezia and Turin, which deserved the same. If Raspadori’s goal allows Napoli to overtake Atalanta, on the pitch today at 12.30, and to stay next to Milan, Brozovic’s strike has an even more important weight for Inter because an equal at home, after the knockouts against Milan and Bayern, it would have opened the doors to a crisis.
Napoli showed what it means to play a great Champions League match, consuming physical and nervous energy and how complicated it is to get out of a hangover of euphoria like the one with Liverpool. It is not just a question of length of the squad, turnover or quality of performers, but of habit at certain evenings: being able to put aside victories or defeats and start over immediately as if nothing had happened. Spezia played in order, complained about a penalty foul, nearly took the lead in the second half and was punished in the final forcing.
Having said the Champions effect, Napoli must be careful not to fall into the traps of last year, when they lost the chance to win the Scudetto by committing suicide at home against the small teams: after the draw with Lecce, the one with the team of Gotti, who after the goal and until the final whistle remained with his jaw set with anger.
Who has loosened the jaw, at least a little, is Inzaghi. Brozovic’s paw allows him to breathe. He was blowing a bad air for Inter who, in addition to not having convinced even yesterday from the point of view of the game, had risked going under on several occasions and this time he has to thank a reactive Handanovic and a not ruthless Toro in front. Juric’s team is always in good shape, he has his own identity, he plays without fear. Yesterday she was punished by an ingenuity of Ilkhan (a 2004) to which obviously she should not be put the cross on: at her age you can make mistakes.
The grenades chew bitter for the result but with the personality shown in these first six days they will be able to take away a lot of satisfaction. For Inter good, in addition to the essential three points, the desire to get the result until the end and a united group. But almost all the rest was missing: intensity, brilliance, play and danger. This Inter, which concedes so much to its opponents, is not only a very distant relative of Conte’s ferocious, compact and championship-winning one (it is useless to continue making comparisons), but also distant from that of last year which at least tried to show something different. After a win, you work better, but there is really a lot to do.
