Crotone-Inter on 1 May last effectively won the Nerazzurri Scudetto, which was then officially grabbed the following afternoon thanks to Atalanta’s failure to win against Sassuolo. If in that 2-0 Eriksen and Hakimi went on the net, in the late afternoon today the 6-0 in the friendly played in Appiano Gentile sees Hakan Calhanoglu as the absolute protagonist. The midfielder, who remained on the pitch for almost an hour, left his mark deeply in the match against the Calabrian team and is ready to drag the Italian champions into next season.
Calhanoglu is therefore still in great shape from the first minutes: the Turk finds the cut of Nainggolan which he controls but is closed in a corner. And, precisely on the developments of another corner, the advantage of Simone Inzaghi’s men arrives: Calhanoglu brushes well in the penalty area and Satriano, with his head, anticipates everyone by scoring the 1-0 from inside the small area. The former AC Milan player does not stop and, within 4 minutes, he again becomes the protagonist in two other goals: first he throws Dimarco in depth, who controls and kicks hard at the near post (with the goalkeeper Festa imperfetto), then he escapes alone. ball at the foot and with the right inside from the edge of the area he signs the trio in the corner. Another verticalization by Calhanoglu puts Brozovic in a position to serve in tow Pinamonti, whose control and shot ends on the post to the right of Festa.
Lukaku also sees himself at the beginning of the second half. After a goal devoured by Darmian, the number 20 does not stop suggesting for his teammates: assist (the third) for Pinamonti and left to cross for poker. The result changes again immediately in the 58th minute: the substitute Sensi spreads at the end of a beat and beat. While, at 65 ‘, the discharge of Lukaku for Brozovic (well in his return to the field from the first minute) allows the latter to sign the final 6-0. There are 24 days left until their Serie A debut (21 August at San Siro against Genoa) and Inter already seems to be in excellent league form.
INZAGHI: “SATISFIED WITH THE TEAM, WELL CALHANOGLU”

I am sorry for the physical problems that Gagliardini and D’Ambrosio accused yesterday, but I am happy with what we have done so far.” So Simone Inzaghi after the 6-0 friendly victory against Crotone, played in Appiano Gentile. “Calhanoglu worked very well and was very good today, as were all his teammates.
