Serie A Inter suffered an atalanta block eight-game winning streak was ended

In the early morning of January 17, Beijing time, in the 22nd round of the 2021-22 Serie A season, Inter Milan challenged Atalanta away. Both teams failed to get too good a chance to score in the game, and in the end, Inter Milan drew 0-0 with Atalanta, ending their eight-game winning streak.

Because both teams' jerseys are dominated by blue and black, this game is also jokingly called the "true and false blue and black" showdown.

Both teams have a strong offensive firepower, with Inter scoring 51 goals in the league before the game and scoring goals in every game, topping the Serie A list. Atalanta is not inferior, the offensive firepower ranks third in the league, so the outside media generally predicts that the game will be a wonderful confrontation, but the actual process is just the opposite.

This has something to do with the changes in the personnel of the two teams, inter team Vidal is suspended and absent, compared to the midweek Super Cup, in which Inzaghi Jr. made certain squad adjustments. The Atlanta side is more seriously affected, including Zapata, Gossens and many other main players are absent due to injury, so in this game Atalanta put up a defensive formation, the team's regional defense and high pressing are very in place, limiting Inter's offensive cooperation, and the whole game did not get too good opportunities.

Atalanta, which implements a defensive counterattack strategy, has played a high-quality counterattack in the second half, Pesina and Muriel have completed wonderful shots, relying on Handanovic's wonderful saves, Inter took a difficult point from the away game. In the full game data performance, Inter has nearly 70% of the possession rate, occupying the initiative of the scene, but it is lower than the opponent in the number of shots and the number of threatening balls.

The 0-0 score of this match has allowed Inter to stop scoring 39 consecutive goals in Serie A. At the same time, in the case of one less match, the lead in the table is only 2 points, and if Milan can win this round, it will replace Inter's top position.
