Journalist Roberto Beccantini comments on the match between Juventus and Inter on his facebook page. His words: “But then can you play in a certain way? I don’t remember an Italian derby so dominated by Allegri and yet 1-0 for Inter. The results will be furious. He decided an episode running out of the first half, a penalty from Morata. on Dumfries “brother” of Dumfries’ pestoncino to Alex Sandro, on the first leg. A chapter worthy of the saga: the Var suggests it to Irrati, Szczesny saves it to Calhanaoglu, on the rejected carom ball in the net. For me, everything is regular For the Var, no: invasion by De Ligt, an encore by the Turkish and this time the Pole did not climb to the levels of Hurkacz and Swiatek.
Bubbles, then, but not champagne. An anthology of wrestling, ambushes, poisons. Juventus with the trident, a value or a price depending on how you support it, mistress for a good half hour and for long stretches of recovery. Sure, Dybala hanging around Brozo wasn’t the best, but he has to get a move on too. Chiellini’s cross-knee, mischioni, presumption of danger in certain shots (by Morata, Vlahovic, Cuadrado) and from certain situations, Zakaria’s pole, the full and growling stadium, the systematic hunt for a compensatory penalty (ah, De Ligt). In short: Juventus lost, as they had won many times. Even a match would have been tight on her. The nemesis, the nemesis. Regardless of who plays, the philosophy can only be this: aggressive from the start, fierce in the recovery-ball, more courageous in pitching the defense.
Inter? She came from seven points in seven games, she had no alternatives, she gathered around the returning Brozovic, Skriniar, a less vague Barella. With Handanovic now I block now less. Locatelli, rammed at the ready-away by Lau-Toro, was well replaced by the Swiss. I even liked Rabiot. If anything, Vlahovic was missing, not quite the Attila he knows how to be. Thus ends the streak of 11 wins and 5 draws. The fourth place remains, as it was in the votes. It went well at Inter: even for this, Milan and Napoli permitting, the Scudetto is always there. “
