More than a victory, a triumphwhich then seen from the other side sounds like a humiliation of almost historic proportions. More than a signal, an authentic proclamation of superiority. L’Inter he didn’t just win a game, as special as the derbygave a beating to the cousins of Milan and a signal to the entire championship.
At the moment, Inter are the strongest team in Serie A. Considering that we are talking about the vice-champions of Europe, it isn’t even a surprise, and especially in mid-September, with an entire season ahead, it doesn’t count for anything. However, the way in which the Nerazzurri dominated the match and above all the score was impressive: 5-1, the second success with the widest margin in favor of Inter in history, after a 5-0 that dates back to 1910. Stuff annals, in short.
The result was actually much more severe than what was seen on the pitch, where Milan still maintained 60% of ball possession and at a certain point even hoped to equalise. But up to a certain point: there was balance in the match but not in his management. Inter’s team is mature, concentrated, determined, in their tactical reading, in their plays, in their episodes: simply perfect. On the other hand, Milan’s performance was truly superficial: inattentive at the start, strong-willed in their reaction but reckless in the final boarding in which he risked going aboard. In fact, she even took it. Here is the difference between Inter and Milan, which goes far beyond the individuals and is also the result of the legacy of the last one Champions League and of that Istanbul finalfrom which the Nerazzurri emerged defeated, it’s true, but with some baggage self-esteem and awareness that we are seeing everything in these first days of the championship.
Then it is clear that in football it is not just the head that counts, but also and above all technique and tactics. And here too there was no match. Milan is a profoundly renewed team, it could have been different Loftus, Reijnders, Pulisic could pay their dues in the first derby. But he was also a rookie Thuram and there the awe was not seen, on the contrary. It is he, who for half the summer seemed promised to Milan, the cover man of this derby, even more than Mkhitaryan author of two goals and assists: the Frenchman seems to combine the excessive physical power of Lukaku and the technical skills of Dzekoperfect for bonding play Inzaghi which in fact worked wonders. Mkhitaryan’s brace responded to those who were controversially asking all week why he wasn’t playing Frattesi and in the end the Italian also scored: it is the demonstration of depth of the Nerazzurri squad which also made the difference in the exchange rates. After the goal of Lionin the most difficult moment, Inzaghi changed the inertia of the match together with the men.
Milan will do better to forget about this bad evening soon, but they should reflect deeply on why it happened: it’s about the fifth derby lost in a row, more or less all in the same way. Once again Inzaghi gave Pioli one football lesson: he left the ball to the opponents, unmasking the limitations of the Rossoneri – tremendously effective when it comes to playing to win back, much less when they have to play the game – and then, taking advantage of the spaces opened up by Lautaro & C.’s phrasing, he hit them in counterattack, even more severely than in the past. It had already happened in the Champions League, in Super Cupin Italian Cup, today it happened again in the championship and Pioli never understood what measures to adopt. This is why the result of the derby scares the opponents and above all Milan, who come out of it really diminished. In the standings they are only three points apart at the bottom, but today the gap seemed abysmal.
