Inter will win everything, the Scudetto and the Italian Cup. Milan is watching, and can only hope for the new ownership | First page

Inter took the last derby of the season (3-0), the good one to get the ticket for the Italian Cup final, on 11 May, in Rome, against the winner of Juventus-Fiorentina. AC Milan comes out incinerated by a confrontation that threatens to definitively resize it in terms of the Scudetto. On Sunday, the Rossoneri will be in Rome, at Lazio and, if they do not win – what you probably know – they will be able to say goodbye to the residual hopes of winning the title. Illusory, in fact, is the advantage of two points over the Inter fans who, in addition to having one game less, enjoy the wind that feeds their unfurled sails.

It will certainly not be Mourinho’s Roma, albeit appreciable, that will slow down the pace, just as Fiorentina or, worse, Massimiliano Allegri’s Juventus cannot hinder the grip of the Italian Cup. Indeed, Inter, by winning all the last few games, including recovery, will be able to make our own mini treble, consisting of the Scudetto, the Italian Cup and the Super Cup, with Simone Inzaghi even better than Antonio Conte, if we were only to look at the results. achieved and the gaps left by Hakimi and Lukaku.
Of course, the solemn celebration is untimely, but whoever reads me – do it out of curiosity or indifference – expects a clear cut in judgment and this Tuesday after Easter gave it by deciding, in my opinion, who will win everything (Inter) and who won’t win anything (Milan, Napoli and Juventus).

If there is still someone in the world who discusses football as a series of episodes, it can still be said that everything went well for Inter and almost everything bad for Milan. But if football is a rational analysis of the facts and an honest account of what happened, then it must be said that until almost half an hour of the first half there was only one team on the pitch (Inter) led by its highest quality forward. (Lautaro Martinez).
Simone Inzaghi also won it by excluding Dzeko and fielding Correa alongside Lautaro. Then it is no coincidence even to score after just three minutes and on a cross from Darmian, another that should not have been there. If the goal is a perfect execution by Lautaro, right-footed volley on a horizontal ball, clearly ahead of Tomori, then it must be said that Inter have not only a great striker, but also a team that manages to exalt him.

Milan, with a heavy pace and without any idea that it was not the extension for Leao, was to look semi-helpless, as if the comparison was not there, as if the disproportion was too acute. And when we saw it (Leao on 28 ‘on the outside of the net, Handanovic’s great save from Saelemaekers’ shot, Giroud hit by Tonali’s right-footed shot on 31′) it was almost out of context for circumstances.
Different, however, the phrasing that led to a nail from the draw just before the doubling of Inter (40 ‘). Theo Hernandez traded with Saelemaekers in the box, then a stone’s throw from the goal, was countered by Skriniar, the ball was rolling on Kessie’s foot before Perisic miraculously intervened to foil a goal scored.

It is useful to remember how Inter, from a situation of serious danger, has restarted (Brozovic’s throw free from Kessie’s marking), has fished Correa only between the lines for the final trigger to the doubling of Martinez.
Therefore, Brozovic’s ad personam marking with Kessie was not wrong. She was completely useless. Why do you lose a man in construction (or finishing) and why you can’t do passive marking for ninety minutes.
Pioli, who had preferred Saelemaekers to Messias, thought about it mid-game by making the opposite change (mistake: the Belgian was doing well) and replacing the battered Tonali with Brahim Diaz. Milan weaker and Milan unwatchable. If it is true that, despite controlling him on sight, Inter collected another chance on a trivial mistake by Bennacer, Calhanoglu’s serve for Lautaro and a conclusion not held back by Maignan (52 ‘).

Before the flood of changes, the flow of light from a goal canceled at Milan by Mariani (very bad) at the suggestion of Mazzoleni. From one corner, the ball left the Inter area to be picked up by Bennacer who sent it to the net. From Lissone, however, the call came and an offside by Kalulu made the last twenty minutes of the game useless.
Good only for Lautaro Martinez’s well-deserved catwalk (inside Dzeko in the 71st minute) and for Inter’s third goal (81) scored by Gosens (two minutes in place of Perisic) on a cross from Brozovic.
Inter are ringing the bells in celebration, Milan can only hope for the new ownership to try and win something. Again this year, hopefully, he comes second.
