Serie A title battle: Inter nibbled under Verona to keep in pursuit, and the problems of aging and injuries are worth noting

In the 32nd round of Serie A that ended this morning, Inter Milan beat Verona 2-0 in Meazza, scoring three points while maintaining a rare winning streak and returning to the right track. Under the premise that Milan has not yet played, the two sides have the same number of matches, and the difference between points is only one point, and the competition can be said to be unprecedentedly fierce. In addition to chasing after me on the Serie A track, on the Italian Cup track, milan will also chase and fight, which is a "meal" for the fans. Winning is naturally a good thing, but the injuries and physical problems of veterans still worry many fans. I believe that the Inter executives in the stands are also very clear about the problem, and they will try to come up with countermeasures.

The heart of the championship is driven by the midfield engine

Friends who have driven cars know that the most important thing in the whole component is the engine engine. They are the driving force that drives the car forward, and they are also the guarantee that gives value to other components. The same is true for football games, the 11 people discharged by the coaching staff are like assembled cars, but if you want to really start well and run forward, you also need an "engine" to lead. In the last two games, several inter players in the midfield have gradually regained their past form, and their recovery is fundamental to the team's ability to get on track. 1-0 Juve, 2-0 Verona's consecutive clean sheets, but also see that the national rice is attacking and defending at both ends.

The 3-5-2 system is what Little Inzaghi believes in, and it is also his fundamental concept of "building cars". Obviously, this is more of a stability and tempo shift, like those rear-drive cars. In this way, the performance of the back position is very crucial, and Brozovic played efficiently in the two games against Juve and Verona, playing the role of "driving force". His strategizing and dispatching in the middle of the road ensured that the Nerazzurri were stable enough and also ensured the team's back-front connection.

Brozovic was the most possession midfielder in Inter's squad and his passing success rate was the highest of anyone with more than 20 passes. As a defender, Brozovic did not pass too much backwards, but instead looked for opportunities many times to create strong conditions for his teammates in front of him, especially to find Dzeko and Joaquin Correa, to see the Croatian reading ability to play and tacit understanding of teammates. It can also be seen that he also maintains a good passing ability. Don't forget, in the previous coaching lineups, B Ronaldo was the main arrangement for Inter's players.

In addition, B Ronaldo's advantage in terms of physical fitness and positive running is not abandoned at all. With his help, Inter are able to cover the midfield well, combining with other tactics to create opportunities. Many critics have also pointed out that it is he who stands up and takes Inter back to the road to the championship. Therefore, whether it is to renew the contract or continue to establish a tactic centered on B Ronaldo, it is indeed not too much.

The three-back system has high requirements for midfielders, even if B Ronaldo plays well, it is impossible to monopolize the overall situation, and the cooperation of Char Khanoglu and Barrera is equally critical. To be honest, the two brothers did suffer from a loss in the Inter bad series of performances, but fortunately they found themselves together recently. Defensively, they tried their best, contributing 11 steals throughout the game, leaving the opponent with no chances, threatening on the shooting side, and Barrera scored valuable goals. Of course, the post-match rating is also super 7+ no suspense. Under the premise that inter (center-back) frontcourt (forward) players need to buy new and replaced, the main group of the midfield will not change next season, so they need to maintain an efficient state, which is the basis for the team to operate well.

The side road flew up, and the combined strategy really came true

No matter how well the middle road is played, it can only lay the foundation and build the foundation, and if you want to win the opponent and get the points, you still have to rely on the finisher to play. Obviously, the combination of side-and-center tactics is the most mentioned word, and in this game China Mi did it. The breakthrough points on the two sides helped the team to score three points, did not live up to the design of the coach, and played by the teammates in the middle.

Perisic, of course, is the one who played very well, and he also received a high rating of 9 points, taking the MVP trophy in vs Verona. Inter and Verona were very fierce in midfield after the start of the match, and the two sides would not give up the land to others at the cost of fouls. Although Verona have not played as well this season as in the past, they have accumulated good defensive ability and understanding, which is still continued, and they have created a lot of difficulties for Inter after the start of the game.

In the 22nd minute, Inter suddenly launched a counterattack, and after pressing the opponent in the middle of the road to make a mistake, the Sabre got a large open area. After running at high speed, he looked at the position of his teammates, and the left foot of the ball was not high and the landing point was very clever, and found Barrera inserted at the back point, who easily broke the goal. The ball is a model of combination, inter playing efficiency, quality and speed.

Seeing the opportunity, Perisic's sprint was swift

The direct starter inserted into the side of the penalty area gave the teammates at the back point a chance to break the goal

Seeing the opponent of Inter's strategy, he immediately adjusted the defensive position on the flank, at this time Correa and Zheko took turns to do the axis, and Inter began to walk in the middle, creating a selection problem for the opponent.

Dzekokrea's retreat with his teammates was threatening

In such a chaotic choice situation, Verona was a bit of a loss, and in the 30th minute Inter again combined with a corner kick opportunity to score, and it was Perisic's assist that gave Dzeko a miracle to break the ground, and the Bosnians easily completed the shot, 2-0. At this time, the commentator also praised many times that Inter's attack was very methodical, and they seemed to be back to the beginning of the season.

After half-time, Inter's problems were exposed

Unexpectedly, in the second half of the game, due to physical constraints, Inter's efficiency was discounted, not only 5 shots on goal, but also attacked by the opponent 7 times, and several dangers occurred. Compared to the 13-2 played in the first half, it is indeed too different. Combined with the post-match video breakdown, it is the forward's personal state decline, resulting in the team's poor operation. The main person responsible is Zheke.

The Bosnian veteran did score his second key goal in this game, but in the second half he had a serious stealth problem, and his lack of physical fitness caused him to be limited when running and doing movements. We captured it many times through the camera, and it was not difficult to see this from the body language he showed. In the second half, Correa's forced rest also doubled Dzeko's workload, and Perisic was forced to be taken to the front, and the overall performance was naturally not as comfortable as in the first half.

Dzeko's problem is indeed one of the most concerned by Inter fans, combined with the recent rounds of matches, buying a new striker is an inescapable task, pointing to the veteran sticking to it is too unrealistic. Chairman Zhang Kangyang in the stands should also be able to understand very intuitively that Inter's top management must take action.

Although D'Ambrosio played well after coming off the bench (4 steals), it was hard to hide the fans' fears about Devry's injured game. As the individual grew older, his injuries began to increase. The Bremer man, whom Inter fans have been thinking about day and night, has recently had a close connection with the team. Considering the Dutchman's contract renewal problem and transfer rumors, I don't know if the top management has a good consideration.
