Italian television, before warming up Inter's two vicious battles with Napoli and Liverpool, stressed that under the existing military situation, Inter's biggest problem is how to reduce the burden on Dzeko. The wounded Correa was also a topic of conversation.
Why is Correa the talking point?
There are two reasons for this. First, under the agreement when Inter acquired Correa, the buyout agreement for Correa was forcibly activated when Inter won their first league points in February.
In other words, if Inter can score points against Napoli, they will have to pay 25 million euros for Correa.
A race in which Correa did not qualify could affect his future.
Moreover, if Correa had been healthy, this battle should have been Correa's starting point to reduce the burden on Zheko and let Zheke recuperate and prepare for Liverpool.
The team reporter pointed out that in fact, as early as inter draw Liverpool (in mid-December last year), Inzaghi Jr. regarded Zheko as a key figure in the matchup with Liverpool.
There are many reasons, the main ones being three.
First, the means of counterattack.
After losing Lukaku and Ashraf, this Inter team often encounters the problem of excessive pressure to shoot the ball and difficulty in advancing in strong dialogue, and lacks the means to rely on individual advances to organize a fast attack.
Inter have tried a lot this season, but none of them have been very effective. Many games so far this season have proved that the most effective means is for Dzeko to retreat to the front waist, fight the opponent's midfield, sort out the team, and help Char khanoglu, Barrera and others to advance in the counterattack.
Such a choice can be said to have mixed advantages and disadvantages.
Dzeko is the one with a relatively strong ability to grasp opportunities in front of the goal of this Inter team, he is too far away from the goal, leaving the firing opportunity to other teammates, although it can effectively improve the ability of Inter to "create opportunities" when inter are strong, but it will make the team's ability to "seize opportunities" greatly reduced.
The Milan derby is typical, Inter occupied an overwhelming advantage in the first half, but it was not well grasped, laying the bane of being reversed.
But Inter has no other way, just these guns, always have to create the opportunity first, and then talk about other things.
Second, the experience of playing against each other.
At present, inter's generals generally lack experience in fighting with the top teams in the Premier League, and some players have only played Tottenham in the group stage, but given that Tottenham's style of play is different from Liverpool, the Champions League group stage and knockout stage are also different, and the reference value is not large.
Dzeko has played in the Premier League for many years and has worked with many Liverpool players (such as Salah, Alisson, Milner) and others, which is also highly valued by the coaching staff.
The third is to seek victory confidence.
When Inter played Liverpool, most of them decided that Inter would lose, and some die-hard fans were just expecting "not to lose too undignified". Among the players in the squad, there are not many people who think inter have a chance to win.
After all, today's Serie A is indeed far less momentum than the Premier League, after all, the overall performance of Inter's strong dialogue this season is indeed average.
But Dzeko firmly believes that Inter has a chance to upset, and in interviews over the past few months, Dzeko has stressed several times that "even if everyone is more optimistic about Liverpool, I still firmly believe that Inter has a chance to win!" ”
Coaches, of course, tend to use braver, bolder, more open players to play this kind of vicious battle with the weak against the strong.
However, this season's journey proves that Dzeko's problem is not in ability and experience, but in physical fitness.
If you want to bet on him when playing Liverpool, then in the league during this period, you must reduce the burden on Dzeko, which is a problem that Inter must face.
The reporter pointed out that Inter originally planned to use Correa to cut Dzeko's playing time in the league during the Champions League knockout rounds, but because of Correa's injury, the inter coaching staff's plan was bankrupt.
Now that Correa is absent due to injury, public opinion circles are full of accusations, and the view that "31 million have been thrown into the water" is the mainstream statement.
But many famous experts, such as Saki, Lavagnali and others, believe that in this Inter, if Correa can stay healthy, he is a player who can play a clear role.
After joining Inter, Correa scored four goals and one assist in 547 minutes.
Some people think that correa's two best games are two games (against Verona and Udine), but the celebrities believe that Correa's most obvious role is two strong dialogues.
One was the first round against Napoli, inzaghi Jr. arranged for Correa Lautaro to start, and in the 62 minutes of the "Pampas combination" pair, Inter laid the score 3-1, leaving Spalletti helpless.
The other was Inter's 3-0 league win over Roma, in which Correa started with Dzeko and was replaced 59 minutes later due to injury, and Inter's half-time crushed a three-goal lead, which is considered "the highest level of football Inter has played this season".
Both of these games are among the kinds of races that can compete in Inter's best competition of the season so far.
In a nutshell: it is too early to say that Inter's investment in Correa has failed, because his problem is not ability, not combat achievements, nor ineffectiveness, but injuries. Injuries are always uncertain, not what players want, especially if Correa's recent injury was caused by his opponent's "shady tricks", and it is even more unreasonable to denounce players.
In any case, It is a fait accompli that Correa is wounded and that Dzeko can only fight on a continuous axis.
Now Inter can only try to shorten Dzeko's playing time as much as possible, so it is also expedient for Inzaghi Jr. to let Kesedo venture into the big list with limited number of joint training sessions.
Fortunately, In an exclusive interview, Zheke revealed that he has his own set of "secrets" for preventing injuries.
Now, the Inter coach can only hope that his secret will really work.
