Inter he replies present. The Nerazzurri conquer Cagliari thanks to an excellent first half, more than enough to direct the 3 points, and reach Milan, Naples and the surprising Verona in command of the standings. A good showdown, no doubt about it, a strong and clear signal to the whole championship: Inzaghi's team would seem to have solved last year's "small" problem, which is why they are seriously running as one of the favourites. for the Scudetto.
Cagliari – Inter 0-2, Dumfries and Lautaro close the practice in half an hour
Two goals, as many posts and second consecutive clean sheet, therefore the best defense in the championship. The away match in Cagliari thus proves to be very positive for Inter, capable of dissolving an insidious field without any kind of difficulty. Right from the start there was the sensation of a team that dominated the match, capable of accelerating from one moment to the next, pace of Ranieri's rossoblu. The Unipol Domus bedlam wasn't enough to scare the Nerazzurri, who were already close to scoring in the 13th minute with Lautaro, only stopped by the post after Radunovic beat. At 21 'but here it is the vertical action on the Thuram-Dumfries axis, with the Frenchman stealing the ball on the trocar from the dreamy Sulemana and prompting the Dutchman, who was also very good at crossing with his right foot at the far post. Once in the lead, Inter had the merit of not resting on their laurels, but immediately trying to double up: mission accomplished in the 30th minute with Lautaro, glacial in fixing Dimarco's ball and beating Radunovic for the second time. Addressed match, also because the Nerazzurri were good at managing Cagliari's good second half, conceding only one real chance in the final (excellent save by Sommer on Azzi, who was also wasteful), moreover after Calhanoglu had come close to 3-0 hitting the post.
Inter, ultimatum to Bayern: Pavard by 15pm today, or you change your goal
Inter can thus face the last days of the market with greater serenity, even if the Pavard question continue to hold court. Ausilio reached an agreement some time ago with both the player and Bayern, but the Germans, before giving the go-ahead, must find a replacement. Which, at the time of writing, hasn't happened yet, also because in Monaco they would like to spend much less than the 32 million they would collect from Inter. Viale Liberazione, however, is probably tired of waiting burned by the Lukaku cases – which today will arrive in Rome on Friedkin's private jet – Scamacca to Samardzic, faded out just when they seemed on the finishing line, which is why they decided to fix a dead line for this afternoon. If the white smoke does not arrive around 15 pm, therefore, Ausilio will turn to another defender (the name of Schuurs is mentioned, but at the moment there are no negotiations with Turin).
Inzaghi rejoices: "It was a difficult game, the lads were perfect"
“The boys were very good, they played it well from the first minute – commented Inzaghi with satisfaction -. A great approach was needed, against a very motivated team for the first time in front of their fans after returning to Serie A. I repeat, the boys were perfect. I'm happy to coach this team and to have great fans, the responsibility is great but in any case in these two years we have won titles and achieved goals that we have been waiting for for some time. Is the team stronger than last year? We know we have changed a lot, for me and my staff it is a great satisfaction to always see a game organized and faithful to its principles despite a dozen changes".
