In the final there is theInter. On May 24, it will be she, in the basin of the Olimpico in Rome, who will compete for the Coppa Italia against one between Fiorentina and Cremonese (starting from 2-0 in the first leg), in an attempt to repeat last year's success, moreover precisely against Juve. Inzaghi can celebrate, while Allegri just has to deal with another bad elimination, also, if not above all, daughter of some of his choices that are at least questionable. The Coppa Italia could have been an important outlet for going to Europe, regardless of what happens in the summer with UEFA, but the Juventus coach faced it with an excessive turnover in defense and without a role striker, at least at the beginning. showing that he prefers the next championship match in Bologna. What angers the Juventus people the most is that Inter passed with minimal effort, without ever really being in trouble, almost as if they were facing a provincial instead of the Lady.
Inter – Juventus 1-0, Dimarco punishes a Juve that is never dangerous
Inzaghi, as expected, decides to focus on Dzeko and Calhanoglu, thus relying on the 3-5-2 with which he faced most of the season, with the exception of the injured Skriniar. Allegri instead opts for a team without a center forward, with Chiesa and Di Maria in attack and an "anomalous" defense with Bremer, the returning Bonucci and Alex Sandro. Out Danilo and Gatti, as well as Fagioli and the suspended Cuadrado, for a decidedly risky formation. And in fact Inter took advantage of it immediately, first making themselves extremely dangerous with Lautaro and Dzeko, then finding the 1-0 with Marco's (15'), excellently served by Barella. In essence, the Italian derby ends here, because the Nerazzurri are wrong in not closing the game despite some (sporadic) opportunities, while Juve are unable to even reopen it, despite superior ball possession. However, the Juventus dribble is sterile and things do not change even in the second half with the substitutions of Allegri, who retracts the initial system by inserting Milik. Onana gets his gloves dirty only once on a shot by Kostic, against a decisive Perin on Mkhytarian: overall, however, it wasn't a good game, but the better team won. Inzaghi thus confirms himself as a cup specialist and has his sights set on the fourth trophy of his Nerazzurri experience, even if his fate will be decided between the championship (fourth place is considered essential) and, above all, Champions. Bad instead Allegri, to which only theEurope Leagueto give meaning to a very complicated season for many reasons: the games are not over yet, but the trend is negative and leaves no room for flights of fancy.
Inzaghi rejoices: “Deserved final! Now we have 10 games left, which we hope will become 11…”
“It was a wonderful evening, correct, with two teams playing an intense match – commented the Nerazzurri coach -. Clearly we deserved the final over the two games and we are very happy, we wanted to go back to Rome at all costs. Now we have ten games left, but let's hope there's one more (the Champions League final, ed). Meanwhile we enjoy the evening, congratulations to all because playing at these paces is never easy. The boys were very good, we never lost a meter against top quality players, we always remained compact and united, alternating moments in which we took them high with others in which we lowered ourselves well, I take important sensations away from me ".
Allegri amaro: "Sorry about the result, now we want the Europa League and third place"
"We had a sleepy first half and conceded goals almost immediately, we were almost never able to shoot on goal and we went out, despite a good performance - he replied Allegri -. We need to recharge our energy, we have the Europa League semi-final and we have to roll up our sleeves to go back to work with malice, we also have to defend third place and keep Roma and Milan away. We had to do better in attack even if it wasn't easy, winning here at San Siro isn't easy. We regret not being in the final, but this year you have to be good and strong to keep your shoulders wide. When you're in these situations, it happens to you every time, on Sunday we conceded a goal like chickens and in the first leg you saw what a match it was. You have to be good and strong, then everything works out and in the end things come back".
