The smoke of the Champions League has dissipated, the Serie A has also ushered in a return, the league is currently 19th place Genoa met Inter Milan at a critical moment in the title race, Genoa's poor performance this season has forced them to accept the result of relegation, which means that with 12 league rounds left, even if they encounter opponents like Inter Milan, they need to go all out. The Inter side is also plagued by their own form, their nemesis AC Milan has stepped over the head to take the lead in Serie A, facing Genoa this is the perfect opportunity for them to score 3 points and return to 1st.
Situation of both sides
Genoa has performed quite badly this season, with only 1 win in the league in 26 rounds, and such a poor state has also forced them to fire the last "nuclear warhead" of Ukraine, Shevchenko, who has led the team in 11 games in 2 months in his tenure, Genoa still has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 7 losses.
Shevchenko, who was in crisis in his hometown, probably didn't have time to think about it now
Inter Milan side is also missed a good game, at the beginning of the league has been occupying the first place in the league, their state in February is really touching, milan derby after the loss of the big victory over Roma, but has been in a state of no winlessness since then, so it slipped to the second position of the league, not only let AC Milan replace their top position, behind Napoli is also gradually catching up.
Race conditions
Inter was very proactive at the start, not only in possession, but also in the 3rd minute Perisic came with a sudden cold arrow, but the Genoa side of the defense was quite hard, the veteran goalkeeper Sirigu directly saved the ball. Then the personal strength of the players on both sides was reflected and radiated to the whole field, Inter was besieged throughout the first half, and Genoa only had one shot on goal! However, thanks to the iron barrel team Inter Milan is also unable to break through the opponent's door, the half ended.
After the game, Genoa made up their minds to remain dead, and Inter Milan continued to replace the attacking players to strengthen the attack, but their midfield was obviously problematic, facing the defenders who could not pass a foot to penetrate the straight plug, even though their possession rate reached a staggering 72% in the whole game, and the number of shots on goal was 16 times, but these were not enough to break through the tenacious Genoa gate, and finally a regrettable draw, the two sides each scored 1 point.
D'Ambrosio's hitting of the post in the 62nd minute was Inter's best chance of the game
After the game
In the face of the weakest opponent, Inter Milan still did not win, such a situation AC Milan and Genoa are happy, one can continue to sit at the top of the table, one is able to get points to retain the hope of relegation, and the 3rd place Napoli is probably the biggest winner, the so-called "mantis cicada catcher, yellow sparrow in the back", when AC Milan and Inter Milan humble each other to the 1st position, the 3rd place Napoli has quietly caught up, although in the midweek facing Barcelona's Europa League they lost and were eliminated, But I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain in the league, and Napoli president De Laurentis may have to wake up laughing in his dreams.
