Inter sinks with Sassuolo: farewell Europe

Nerazzurri getting worse and worse: they lose at San Siro against Sassuolo (1-2) and say goodbye to the Europa League by DiFrancesco

Inter sinks with Sassuolo: farewell Europe

There is no limit to the worst. Inter also loses against Sassuolo and says goodbye, in fact, in sixth place, the last profit to enter the Europa League. Only mathematics, in fact, still keeps a small glimmer open but it seems unlikely that Milan and Fiorentina will be able to waste the accumulated lead, of 4 and 3 points respectively, with just two rounds to go.

But above all what appears more complicated is that the Nerazzurri manage to win their games: with yesterday's we are on 4 consecutive defeats, which become 6 in the last 8. A disastrous score, which cost Pioli the bench and which, in all likelihood, it will lead to a real summer revolution, this time with the players as protagonists.

Yesterday's 1-2 with Sassuolo is just the umpteenth thud of a disastrous season, which began with Champions League ambitions (the naive De Boer had even spoken of the Scudetto) and is currently stuck in eighth place. An unacceptable result, "greeted" by a civil but tough dispute, which saw the Curva Nord as the protagonist (left empty for the whole match) but also supported by the rest of the stadium.

“At the moment there is a situation of great negativity that can also be felt on the pitch – Vecchi commented – The dispute is all there, this is not an eighth-place team and it is normal for the fans to show their disappointment. With Sassuolo, however, we were punished at the first mistake, we created, tested, played".

Maybe, yet this Inter has the consistency of an ice cream under the August sun. After actually coming close to scoring on a couple of occasions, she went under the first real lunge from Di Francesco's men, also thanks to a mistake by Murillo which opened the way for the neroverde counterattack, then finalized by Iemmello (36') .

The former Foggia striker then doubled his lead at the start of the second half with a tap-in with the goal wide open (40', suspected offside), unleashing the boos of an incredulous, not to say astonished, San Siro in the face of such littleness. Eder's goal (70') only gave the illusion of a comeback, which however remained unfinished. Just like Suning's project, which started to bring Inter back to the Europe that counts and instead, barring sensational twists, also remained out of the minor one.
