Originally, Sensi had basically decided to join Sampdoria. But according to Nerazzurri's correspondent Daniele Mari, Samp did not want to bear Sensi's full salary during the loan period, which also delayed the transaction. In this case, Sensi did not go to the new owner for a medical examination as originally planned, but was selected by Inzaghi Jr. into the big list for this game. What's even more amazing is that the midfielder was in danger, not only breaking the 845-day goal drought, but also using this goal to send Inter to the top 8 of the Coppa Italia.
A magical deal, a life-saving goal, a redemption of the self. After scoring, Sensi roared in anger. Or look back on this moment many years from now, Sensi will say, "It saved my career." ”
