In the early morning of March 20, the 30th round of Serie A began, with defending champions Inter Milan drawing 1-1 at home to Fiorentina, Torreira opening the record in the second half and Dutch defender Dumfries's header to tie the score. After this campaign, Inter have only won 1 in 6 rounds, and with one less match, they have fallen behind the top of the table by 6 points, and with only 9 rounds left, the Nerazzurri have drifted away from the Serie A champions.
In this campaign, Vidal, Dumfries and D'Ambrosio rotated, but Brozovic remained out of the squad due to injury. After the match began, Fiorentina dominated the attack, with Nicholas Gonzalez and Sabonara both having good scoring opportunities. Inter did not shoot from outside the Vidal penalty area until the 23rd minute. In the 40th minute of the game, Dumfries passed the ball on the right and Lauta Romandinez scored the ball in the back post, but unfortunately his offside was invalid in the first goal. In the first half, the two sides shook hands 0-0.
In the 49th minute of the second half, Torreira followed up with a push to open the scoring for Fiorentina, and nine minutes later, Inter's two wing-backs connected to save the game, Perisic crossed from the left, and Dumfries scored a header from the back post, and the two sides returned to the same running line. In the 65th minute, Lauta Romandinez fell to the ground inside the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty, but announced the cancellation after being prompted by VAR. In the final moments of the game, Handanovic dedicated his bravery to save and defuse Ikoone's one-knife two-shot combo, inter milan was difficult not to die, and 1 point was not easy to come by.
In this campaign, the two sides had half a pound and eight two, but Inter fell behind 13-17 in the number of shots on goal. After the absence of Brozovic, inzaghi Jr.'s team had a big problem with the offensive organization, Barrera was in a slump, Char Khanoglu could only be considered decent, and the best player in midfield was the 34-year-old veteran Vidal, who played 91 minutes in this game and gave the highest 4 shots of the game. However, it can also be seen how poor Inter's forward performance is in this game.
Lautaro played 74 minutes, five fouls and three key passes, which showed he was working hard, but the Inter top scorer handed over the blanks in the shooting session. The 36-year-old veteran Dzeko also played 74 minutes, with one shot and one key pass, and three losses of the ball.
However, at the crucial moment, the most disappointing thing is coach Inzaghi Jr. In the 74th minute, the two teams were 1-1, and he replaced two starting strikers with Sanchez and Correa, which is his most conventional substitution. The point is that Inter did not have an advantage in midfield at that time, and there was an urgent need for a pivot forward to do the ball, and on the bench there was Inzaghi Jr.'s love in Lazio, Kesaido, although his height of 1.83 meters was not too high, but his outstanding physical confrontation ability was obviously much more useful than correa and Sanchez, who were playing.
However, Inzaghi Jr. seemed content with a 1-1 score, and it wasn't until the last minute of regular time that he woke up to let Kesardo hang up, and the Ecuadorian striker finished the game with just one pass. In this regard, Inter fans are obviously very nostalgic for the former contributor manager Mourinho, although the Portuguese coach is known for swinging buses, but in the two seasons in charge of Inter, he often sent 4 forwards or even 5 forwards to fight to the death when he was behind, and the kind of swing that is still unforgettable for Inter fans.
Inzaghi Jr. had an extremely perfect first half at Inter, but as the schedule progressed, his shortcomings in poor on-the-spot adjustment ability and lack of bright sword spirit at key moments were fully exposed. In the Milan derby, Inter replaced Lauta Romadinez and Perisic with a 1-0 lead, as well as Char khanoglu, who delivered assists, and Milan completed the second final reversal by Giroud in 3 minutes. In fact, Olivier Giroud scored the equaliser just two minutes after Char khanoglu went off. Little Inzaghi's self-destruction of the Great Wall allows his opponents to regain their self-confidence.
It was also from that bad reversal that Inter fell into a slump, and the last 6 Serie A games only bullied the fish belly team Saranitana. With AC Milan winning 1-0 consecutively to show the champions, Inter still has a chance to defend their title, but the current state of the team is not optimistic. Of course, this is only the first season that Inzaghi Jr. has taken over Inter, and with the loss of absolute main force in a row last summer, Inter's record is actually acceptable. If targeted reinforcements are made at the end of the season, Inter can still look forward to the future. After all, such a difficult 10 years have survived, and now this setback is not a big deal.
