The match was resolved in the first half in a leisurely 24 minutes, especially thanks to the good work of Marcus Thuram, author of a double and an assist, and ‘tucu’ Correa, who took advantage of the absence of Lautaro Martínez due to fever. to make a good performance in a favorite field for him in so many and help.
Inzaghi’s team started strongly, closing in on their rival, barely getting past the middle of the field. But it’s not all good news for the visitors, who lost due to injury Francesco Acerbi three days before facing the Leipzig in Champions League.
The devastating Correa-Thuram duo
The Argentina-France connection at the top of Inter’s attack works well, but this time one of the protagonists has changed. Without Lautaro, Correa was repeatedly paired with Thuram.
Thuram helped the Argentine in space so that with a gentle poke he beat Montipo’s exit (17′). The roles were soon reversed, as less than five minutes later it was Correa who created the space for the Frenchman to fake and eventually dribble past Montipo to score at will (22′).
The steamroller of Interists did not stop and was sentenced in the 25th minute by passing into the space of Bastoni where Thuram, who has been linked to Liverpool this week, was defined in the same way with his first goal.
It seemed like a party for the forwards, but two defenders joined such as De Vrij, who came in because of Acerbi’s injury, and also Bisseck. The Dutchman was in attacking positions, received a back pass from Asllani at the height of the front and finished with a dry shot as if he was a lifelong killer (31′).
What is more remarkable is Bisseck’s goal, when the ball reached him inside the area, he put his body like Lukaku, he turned, fell, and from the same ground he was able to give the ball power to put it in the same corner.
In the second half, Verona, who received several whistles throughout the match, managed to minimize the damage and did not concede any more goals. He even has a few techniques where he puts Sommer in trouble.
Inter, who have already released an eleven with new features, rested players like Barella, Bastoni and Thuram thinking of the duels to come.
