There is a new captain. A month ago at -7 from Napoli, now again in front of everyone
Capolinter. It is really the case to say it. Because the naturalness and voracity with which the Nerazzurri overturned the Serie A classification in a month is at least frightening. Only the awareness of being the strongest, the coldness generated by superiority – technical, tactical, mental and deep pink – and an even more angry fame than last year can upset a ranking who at the beginning of November saw Inter at least seven from Napoli who, of course, took a lot of his own and, now, is sensationally stationed at least four from Inzaghi’s ranks.
A legion that moves by heart. Sinuous, compact, tremendously dangerous. He knows when to crouch or advance quickly to begin the battle. Which often leads by itself, in the sense that it plays at a door. Against Cagliari Simone Inzaghi knew it would be a match not to be missed. Too tasty the double assist provided by Milan (stop in Udine) and Naples (violated at Maradona by the newly promoted Empoli), Atalanta too ruthless.
And then 4-0 against Cagliari which could also have been 5 or 6 or even 7 to 0, were it not for that great goalkeeper of Alessio Cragno who tried to plug an unstoppable bleeding. Perfect race. Double (and, the only sore point of the Nerazzurri night at San Siro, yet another failed penalty) by Lautaro Martinez, Alexis Sanchez and Calhanoglu. Dzeko comfortable on the bench to take a breather. This Inter is a steamroller, they have won in five games and have not lost in nine in Serie A, since the defeat in Rome against Lazio. There, when someone agreed to have a Scudetto sewn on their chest.
