Today's Inter have some shortcomings in hard power, such as the lack of absolute speed.
Lautaro is slow. Sanchez is old. Correa is also not known for speed. As for Dzeko... Not to mention.
Under the premise of the lack of speed of the whole team, the acceleration and sprint ability of the new winter window new signing Gosons can be regarded as "timely rain".
Inter's public opinion environment is generally a lack of patience, Correa, Gossens these two heavy reinforcements, have been ridiculed by famous reporters.
A comment from the capital media not long ago was: "Lake Como that you see today was once a mountain; the Douoma Mountain you see today was once a flat land... Things in the world are always changing. But some are constant. From Gabi and João Mario to Correa and Gossens, stupidity is always stupidity! ”
The writing is really good. It's a pity.
Are Correa and Gossens really stupid reinforcements?
Of course, the former is burdened by injuries and illness problems, and the latter has less playing time.
But football is a sport that takes time and patience to precipitate answers.
Recent real battles have proved that Correa can play a role not only at the tactical level, but also at the strategic level. His problem is injury, not ability. Injuries are always uncertain.
Of course, Correa is not the subject of this article, and has been brushed over.
Let's talk about Gosons.
From the day the German Flying Wing joined, we did not doubt his value.
So far, Gosons has made 6 appearances (all off the bench), totaling 133 minutes, scoring 1 goal and assisting 1 time, and participating in 1.35 goals per 90 minutes, making Inter the most efficient of the season.
Because the denominator is too small, this "king" has limited reference value. But that's enough proof of the player's ability.
What makes Inter even more happy is the explosive power of the "Sprint King" level displayed by Gosons.
Gosons has twice played for Inter, relying on amazing explosive power - when he rushes up, whether it is a direct block or a cross, it becomes simple.
The opponent tried his best, and he could only "see the taillights".
As early as February, the reporter reported that When Gosons had just come out of a four-month injury and the team medical team was still worried about how long it would take him to get back to his physical condition, In the team sprint test, Gosons was one of the strongest.
Since joining Serie A, Gosons has scored a total of 29 goals and assisted 21 times for the club, relying on no-ball running and sprinting explosiveness, which is hard power.
In Inter, which lacks speed, this hard power of Gossens can definitely be used.
However, Gossens only had the "icing on the cake" contribution - assists, which were the fourth goal in the 5-0 battle; the goal, the third goal in the 3-0 battle.
That's always worse than "sending charcoal in the snow"—the kind of ball that determines life and death.
Because Gossens has too little playing time – with his ability and fame, he has never been able to get a starting opportunity, and it is impossible for players to say that they are not in a hurry.
As a German international, Gossens has ambitions and a World Cup dream, and he did not join Inter to sit on the bench.
Recently, Gossens has been looking forward to starting: "Coming out of a few months of injury, I put in a lot of effort to get myself back on the field, it's not easy. I haven't started in 5 months..."
Some people worry that Gossens, who is not satisfied with sitting on the bench, will become an unstable factor in the locker room.
Sky tv reporter Paventi introduced a small thing: in the first half of the Milan derby, inter bench was on the left side of the attacking direction, and in the 38th minute, When Perisic made a key block in front of the goal line, the whole stadium was cheering for the Croatian flying wing. But the scene that really stunned Gossens happened more than ten seconds later, when Inter broke the ball and quickly advanced to the front, and Perisic, who had just blocked in front of the goal line, rushed to the front to complete the cross, which happened under the eyes of Gossens, which surprised the Germans.
Interestingly, Gossens scored a goal in 3 minutes on the bench, and in the scene of indulgent roar, Perisic, who had just been replaced, became a "background board", which really had the meaning of "you sang and I appeared".
Gossens do aspire to start, but he also knows he can't get a chance now, purely because Perisic is in such good shape. Sport Milan believes that What Paige is playing now is the best level he has played for Inter in many years, and perhaps even the best level of his career.
It is better to make a substitute for Mr. State than to make a substitute for someone who is in a bad state and is just stiffened by the coach, which is more emotionally easier to digest.
"I haven't started in a long time," Gossens said, "it's also because Perisic's performances are incredible, but I've been trying to do everything possible to get my chances." For me, joining a world-class club like Inter was a challenge and having to compete for a position with a player who is currently doing very well will further stimulate my performance. ”
In short: Perisic has been in such excellent form recently, and the important reason is that The addition of Gosons in the winter window has made Pec mentally stimulated, and he realizes that if he does not work hard, it is not easy to continue to play the main force and renew his contract. The arrival of Gossens stimulated Page, and Page's current top-notch state has also made Gosons work harder in training and more desperate in limited playing time. The fierce competition between the two is the catalyst for Page to play in excellent form and Gossens to become the king of efficiency.
So, the argument that "bringing in Gosons in the winter window is a failed deal" is debatable, and if the transfer is aimed at improving inter's left wing, then it can be said that the purpose has been achieved. Who wins and who loses in the main battle? I don't know. Who is the winner? Inter Milan, of course.
Inter then fought hard, and the league game was a decisive battle. As Juve advance to the final of the Cup, Inter will play a fourth Italian derby after playing four Milan derbies. Two powerful leftists who have the intention to kill the enemy will never lack the opportunity to make a contribution.
