In a key match in the 16th round of Serie A that ended in the early morning of December 18, Beijing time, Inter Milan defeated Lazio 2-0 away. Due to Juventus being forced to draw in this round, Inter, which won three consecutive victories, also extended its advantage in the standings to four points.
In this game, Inter faced Lazio, who also qualified in the Champions League group, and once fell into a hard battle. It wasn't until the 40th minute that Lazio made a mistake at the back, and Marusic's pass was directly intercepted by Lautaro, who burst into the penalty area past the goalkeeper, and then scored with his left foot, and with the opponent's gift, Inter Milan unexpectedly broke the deadlock.
Yibian fought again, and the backward Lazio relied on the home advantage to set off a counterattack, but Inter goalkeeper Sommer successfully managed to keep the goal intact. In the 66th minute, Inter played a wonderful counterattack, Barella was blocked, and then he took the ball again and distributed it to Thuram, who scored with a low left-footed shot in the penalty area to seal the win, so Inter won by 2 goals and successfully took away 3 points from the away side.
After 16 rounds, Inter Milan has 13 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, accumulating 41 points and leading strongly. In the first 16 rounds, Inter scored 39 goals and conceded only 7 goals, which is the team with the most goals and the fewest goals in Serie A.
You must know that Inter did not invest heavily this summer, and the standard king is only 30 million Pavard. At the same time, Chinese boss Zhang Kangyang also earned 68 million euros through the sale of Onana, Ronaldo, Pinamonti, Gosens and others. It has to be said that Inter Milan is quite successful at the moment and can be called a model for European clubs.
Of course, Zhang Kangyang's most successful decision in the summer window was to insist on keeping captain Lautaro. After scoring in this round, Lautaro scored his 15th goal in 16 Serie A rounds this season, and this year's Inter No.10 has already scored 29 goals in Serie A, which is quite prolific. If Inter regain the Serie A title this season, the Argentine striker will definitely be the number one contributor.
