Inter's departure favourites are still touching and the simple desire is a testament to greatness

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I wish you all a safe and healthy family.

Inter Milan will take to the field tonight for a fierce clash with Roma.

After beating Juventus, Inter established a four-point lead with one game in hand, but everyone knows that the Serie A champions cannot be decided in the 23rd round, and if the Nerazzurri drop points immediately after beating Juve, it will also help the morale-frustrated "opponents" quickly restore confidence.

Facing Roma, who won consecutive victories after the change of coach, and De Rossi, who shouted "Inter is the strongest in Serie A, but will lose the same game", Inter Milan faced a hard battle.

The problem with Inter Milan is that the wing-forward lacks a back-hander.

Among the existing seven Inter midfielders, in addition to the three main players, Asllani is defined as a substitute in the midfield, and Frattesi, Klaassen and Sensi are substitutes in the wing midfield.

Frattesi was absent due to injury, and Sensi's untimely fever left the coach unable to point out. As a result, Inter have only one substitute, Mezalla, and if Mkhitaryan or Barella are out of shape (whether it's a lack of fitness, a yellow card, or whatever), Klaassen could be ready to play.

The Italian media is discussing two issues: first, in the past 40 days or so, Klaassen has been absent from the team for a long time (only played a few minutes off the bench when playing Juventus), can he be in good shape? Second, with Inter Milan basically finalizing Zielinski's visa exemption (confirmed by Osirio), after the season, Klaassen is almost certain to leave the team to make room for places and salaries, is Klaassen still willing to do his best for Inter Milan? The answer to both questions is that for Klassen, who has a top-level professional attitude, none of this is a problem.

In football, there is a type of player who has good ability and outstanding role, even if there are some flaws in his personality, but it is still very important.

There is another type of player who "wins with attitude", ability and role, and if the evaluation cycle is extended, he will not have a strong presence in the history of big teams. But his upright attitude and professionalism are still admirable.

Over the years, Inter has had more of the latter.

For example, Ranocchia, a good seedling with outstanding talent when he was a teenager, joined Inter Milan, caught up with the darkest years in the team's history, and failed to grow to the heights he deserved. Before leaving, he was already an iron bench with many injuries and few good pieces of meat in his legs. But with his unrivalled professionalism and sense of teamwork, he still plays a very positive role as a training pacesetter, dressing room lubricant and "top sparring partner". Others, such as Christian Eriksen and Gosens, who were on the bench, are of this type.

For a big team, a player who is still conscientious, sweats like rain, and never causes trouble when he is squeezed to the bench is often more meaningful than a talented and capable player, but the slightest mischief will cause a miasma.

The point remains the same: even if Klaassen is likely to be just an Inter passerby, he has a reason to admire.

In the Juventus game, Klaassen asked the referee at the last minute to stop stoppage time and pay attention to his watch.

The Italian media quipped: "No one wants to play more games than Klaassen - because he can only play for so many minutes in 40 days, but in order to get three points, Klassen still asks for the game to end as soon as possible, which is also a 'sacrificial spirit'." ”

This also shows that Klassen is making good progress in learning Italian.

Before the fierce battle against Rome, there was a touching scene on the Inter training ground.

In an in-house training match that didn't make any real sense, Klaassen scored against the likes of Pavard and De Vrij. Klaassen was very excited, kneeling to celebrate, and his excitement also led to Bastoni, Barella, Dimarco and other teammates, and the whole Inter team celebrated like winning a derby, which moved the Italian media.

Klaassen has not scored a goal, he has scored more than 100 goals in the Bundesliga, Eredivisie European competitions and the Dutch national team, and he has seen a big scene. The excitement of an unofficial goal on a training ground only shows that Klaassen has invested enough in training, his hunger for making contributions to Inter Milan has reached the extreme, and his seriousness and dedication have also impressed his teammates and raised the enthusiasm of the whole team. In a word: the Dutch play the role of Inter's "training pacesetter".

Lately, Inzaghi Jr. has often praised Klaassen.

Speaking after the Juventus game, Inzaghi said: "Klaassen deserves more space, he's a good lad. ”。

Speaking ahead of Fiorentina's game, Inzaghi said: "Klaassen deserves more minutes, judging by his performance in training. ”

From many words, people can see that the coach really did not give up on Klassen, and even felt a little guilty about his lack of appearance. So it's no surprise that Klaassen wasn't kicked out of Inter's Champions League squad after the winter window.

There is no such thing as "shady" or "descendant", the simple reason is that no coach will be disgusted with this kind of serious training, hard work, and a pacesetter who goes all out with top enthusiasm and attitude regardless of whether he appears or not, especially in a big team with stars and difficult management. What kind of ability and style are suitable, these are all different words, but Klassen does deserve to be praised for the top-level professional attitude he has shown.

The reporter pointed out that Klaassen is also well aware of his situation at Inter and knows he may leave the club at the end of the season. Even so, he still has the most sincere wish: since he is here at Inter, he wants to play some good balls in this shirt and leave a mark, and it is not a waste of time.

It's a very simple emotion, but it's very sincere.

Then Inter will not hesitate to send simple expectations: I hope his dream will come true and his ambition will be rewarded!
