A Nerazzurri Wednesday. Inter e Atalanta they get two important and convincing victories with Benevento and Lazio, but if Conte's is within the norm this is not the case for Gasperini, whose path continues to amaze not so much (or at least no longer) for the results, but for the methods of the same. The Goddess devoured Lazio almost as if it were a small tidbit and not last season's tough team, thus launching yet another warning to sailors for the Scudetto/Champions area, who will have to deal with her again this year.
However, it is clear that the loudest roar, thinking in perspective, comes from Benevento, where theInter has once again shown its enormous potential. The nerazzurri, already strong a year ago, have strengthened in a very important way and never mind if Kanté, barring twists and turns, will remain in London: the material remains of an excellent level, however, so as to be able to guarantee that turnover loudly requested by With you. The key to Benevento's 5-2, as well as in the now memorized game principles, must be sought precisely in the depths of the squad, with a special mention for Hakimi. It was already said at the time of his purchase that the Moroccan was a crack, but now, after seeing him play, there are no more doubts.
The former Dortmund, also decisive with Fiorentina, albeit as a substitute, plowed the right wing of Vigorito with a mix of quality and malice that is difficult to repeat, at least by the others. And if we add to this the usual killer instinct of Lukaku and the vivacity of Sanchez, here is the lethal cocktail for Pippo Inzaghi's unfortunate Benevento, taken in volleys from the beginning (the first goal of the Belgian giant arrived after 28 seconds!) to the end. In addition to Romelu (who repeated himself in the 28th minute), Gagliardini (25'), Hakimi (42') and substitute Lautaro (71') scored for a Nerazzurri goal that nipped any hopes in the bud yellow and red.
As always, however, the glass also has an empty side, that is the defensive phase, which in addition to the two goals conceded (brace from Caprari) saw two other clear opportunities conceded to Benevento: the goals scored in these first few days are 9, those conceded 5 and in both cases these are numbers to be analyzed carefully, in both directions. "We play, we create a lot... Sometimes we concede goals and that was the case today too, we have to work on balance a bit, but I'm enjoying watching this team play – commented Tale – Are they calling us favourites? We must be happy and enthusiastic about this, it means that there is respect for me, for Inter and for our work."
By now the Nerazzurri coach is no longer hiding and soon the namesake (in the chromatic sense) will have to do it too Gasperini, grappling with the umpteenth test as an adult. The match with Lazio had to tell us who, between the two surprises of last season, would continue to be so this year too and the answer, as can be seen from the 4-1 final, was quite clear. Here too the key must be found in the depth of the squads: after all, the two longest-serving coaches in the league faced each other, which is why the principles of the game are not enough to explain such a result.
THEAtalanta, even without spending mountains of money, has been able to create a very intelligent market, keeping almost all the most important men (the only loss of weight was that of Castagne) and adding others, able to guarantee a fundamental shift. And so, compared to the 4-2 in Turin, Malinovskyi, Pasalic, Palomino and Djimsiti met again, but the product did not change: poker was against Giampaolo and poker was yesterday, this time signed by the usually immense Gomez (brace) and by the two wingers Gosens and Hateboer.
La Lazio instead, net of Caicedo's useless goal, he had to deal with the no match of his stars, namely Immobile, Luis Alberto and Milinkovic-Savic. A bad evening can happen to them too, but in that case Simone Inzaghi has little to do: emblematic, in this sense, is the triple change in the 70th minute, with the "poor" Escalante, Akpa Akpro and Anderson thrown into the fray not for reopen the match, but to save Luis Alberto, Milinkovic-Savic and Lazzari breath in view of Inter. Yes, because on Sunday the calendar will give us a very interesting challenge between Simone Inzaghi and Conte, with all the consequences of the case. Serie A is still in its infancy, God forbid, yet it's already drawing its contours: the Scudetto, moreover, can't wait...
