The company remains in the middle. L’Inter he touched and caressed her, in the end she had to settle for a 3-3 at the Camp Nou which remains sumptuous. And after Barcelona she is even more in control of her own destiny: Group C of the Champions League, at least on paper, is almost marked. On the next day, the Nerazzurri will host Viktoria Plzen at San Siro, at 6.45 pm: with a win, they will not even have to watch Barcelona-Bayern Munich in the evening. Indeed, they will be able to allow themselves the luxury of following it cheering for the Catalans, because at that point the tickets already made for the last week of the group stage would become something more than those for a fun trip to Bavaria in early November.
The only risk is psychodrama. And it’s not something that Inter fans manage easily. If there is a nation that knows how to commit suicide in football at the best, that is Italy. And if there is a team in Italy that succeeds better than all the others in the mission, here is Inter. Not beating the Czechs – however little stuff – at the Meazza would transform the mutilated Camp Nou feat into an atrocious mockery, and today’s smiles into long faces for tomorrow. Without forgetting the regrets for that 4-3 only touched upon, and which would have transformed the Catalan evening into a pure football epic.
Nobody touches Asllani. Here, on that 4-3 that remains in the dreams of Inter and Simone Inzaghi, some responsibility Kristjan Asllani Has he got it. It is an objective fact, with which the young and talented 2002 director, practically in tears at the final whistle, will have to deal. But they will be made of him. The best medicine that Inzaghi can apply to him, who obviously knows best how to manage his group, is to make him play as a starter with Salernitana. Not just a boost of confidence. Regardless of this, if there is a player around which Inter, from the players to the fans, has to do square it is the former Empoli. Which, incidentally, played a fundamental role in the momentary 3-2, and therefore his did it anyway. Throwing the cross on him would not help anyone, least of all Inter who need his youth (by the way, not bad the entry of Bellanova) and the quality he needs. A young person to defend, immediately taking off the weight of an error that can happen and which should not affect the growth process. The best help from comrades? Take a single bite of Plzen, and no one will remember that ball not given to Mkhitaryan.
