The Inter Milan does not lift its foot off the accelerator and it doesn’t look like he’s going to do it until the end of the campaign. From a month of March to forget to an April to remember. The ‘neroazzurri’ got rid of their strongest rival in the rest of the calendar with a resounding 3-1.
The ‘Scudetto’ is one step closer, there are five games left for the interistas .
San Siro hosted the most important game of the day. Inter was at stake to continue having command of the domestic championship and the ‘Loba’ the European positions. Those of Inzaghi not only did not fail, but showed that they are in the best form of the season . Mourinho’s men could not do much more to stop an Inter that knows exactly what it is playing, very organized and automated.
The game started very closed. Inter and Roma had a lot at stake and a mistake could be crucial for whoever made it. The fact is that none of them committed it, but Inter brought out their best version, the one he is used to in recent weeks.
With an overwhelming solidity in defense, the Inter started calmly against a well planted Roma, who also arrived at a very good time. Mourinho’s men, in fact, were the first to get down to work and disturb the rival’s goal, although without danger.
Dumfries, winger right, attacked the space in the central lane as if it were a pure ‘9’. Dzeko and Lautaro played midfielders with a first-touch connection that cleared the area and the Turk didn’t miss the pass. The Dutchman defined with all the calm in the world, with his bad leg and a subtle touch that slipped between Rui Patricio’s legs.
And squeezing came Brozovic’s great goal. The Croatian signed the goal of the day, a jewel. At the end of the first act, the center midfielder received inside the area, made two cuts and signed a direct right to a square. Rui Patricio could not do anything.
Inter could not face the match in a better way. He struck at key moments and used his chances to do damage. Lautaro put the icing on the cake as soon as he left the locker room tunnel with a header from close range. Another 3-0 that recalled the one endorsed this week by Milan to get the Rossoneri team out of the Italian Cup.
Victory is key for Inter, who with a game less -and at least for one night- returns to the leadership of Serie A. The difficult part is done, in theory. Bologna, Udinese, Empoli, Cagliari and Sampdoria are next, all in the lower middle zone. Five games that are final.
