Although Thiago Motta’s new project with Juventus looks pretty good, he will need to be almost perfect to prevent Inter Milan from revalidating Calcio for the third consecutive year, and the sensations he left behind in the defeat to Atalanta are devastating ( 4-0).
The DEA, a bit more focused on moving the market after the departure a few days ago of Teun Koopmeiners in the ‘vecchia Signora’ and trying to keep Lookman, who they didn’t get, had no choice. He came out elsewhere to play Giuseppe Meazza and that, against an Inter that had homework done this summer, was fatal. In the 4th minute of the game, Simone Inzaghi’s team took the lead, playing a block from last season and with signings waiting on the bench. It was, it is worth saying, with some luck, because a Thuram cross was deflected by the toe of Djimsiti, who was not on his day at all, and went into his own goal.
This was only the beginning of an uninterrupted siege. Inter dominated when they wanted. Playing in class and finishing. The stellar Barella appeared moments later to extend the lead. A short clearance by Atalanta (one of many) fell to the edge of the area and the Italian, deadly, caught it without hesitation with his left foot to score the goal of the game (10′).
Checkmate. Atalanta had no option to respond, even if Gasperini wanted it. Sommer only had to intervene a few times, both with merit, and when the DEA wanted to control their killer it was Thuram running behind them. And Atalanta’s options were also destroyed by its own defense, which, due to a lack of tension, made unforgivable mistakes. Started again with Djimsiti, who just started the second half made a mistake with a long throw-in, combing the ball towards Carnesecchi and leaving it open for Thuram, with his finger, to score the third (47′). And the worst of the case is that things got worse after a corner kick that the Atalanta defense was unable to clear, in a strange play of touches in the area that ended in the same ending: Thuram’s pointer (57 ‘ ).
The truth is that the score is not enough for Inter. Lautaro also failed to score, a bit desperate to be left blank, but neither Arnautovic nor Taremi, who came on later, made the cut due to their lack of goal. Inter is flying.
