Lazio-Inter 0-6
LAZIO
Proof 5: Calhanoglu wrong-foots him from 11 metres. He can do little about the other goals too.
Marusic 4.5: out of position on Inter’s second goal, he jumps out of time without noticing Di Marco behind him. Disastrous when adapted to a power plant.
Gila 6: holds his own in a physical duel with Thuram for 25 minutes. Raise the flag and feel dizzy. (from 27’pt Leg 5: jumps uncoordinated during the penalty awarded in the first half. From 1st s.t. Lazzari 5.5: he doesn’t even have time to warm up as the result is already completely compromised. It may have little impact)
Patric 6: he does his thing against Lautaro by giving him little. He never gives up, not even when the game is already settled.
Nuno Tavares 4.5: good in the first half hour, then the intensity of his run drops and with him all of Lazio’s push, especially after the 0-2. Too passive then on the 4-0 goal for Dumfries.
Guendouzi 6: bites Mkhitaryan’s ankles, blocking most of his initiatives, as long as there was a game. However, among the best even on a bad evening like this.
Rovella 6: raises a wall in front of the defense together with his teammate in the first half. Then he too goes out.
Isaksen 6: with his accelerations he puts Bastoni in a bit of trouble. However, there is always a lack of playing time to then serve teammates in the area or hit the net. (from 11’s.t. Tchaouna sv)
Pedro 5,5: his action as a destroyer on the opposing midfield doesn’t work very well. He has little space among the Inter giants to find the winning play. (from 11’s.t. Dele-Bashiru sv)
Zaccagni 6: many good plays, although none decisive. The serpentine in the first half was beautiful, only getting lost at the best moment. (from 35’s.t. Castrovilli sv)
Noslin 5: Does not repeat the last good performances. He plays the role by imitating Castallanos in his movements, but the two wasted opportunities in the first half weigh heavily.
Barons 5.5: in the first half Inter played for half an hour with 11 men behind the ball line and this says everything about how much their opponents have now learned to fear their Lazio. The problem is that this time after two unfavorable episodes the team completely exits the match.
INTER
Sommer 6: Never seriously engaged.
Bisseck 7: Work together with Dumfries and contain the gusts of Tavares and Zaccagni. He leaves because he is warned.
(Dal 1’ s.t. Darmian 6.5: On the right we work on continuity, Bisseck comes out and he comes in, but the result is identical: Tavares and Zaccagni don’t break through).
De Vrij 7: The story is always the same, when he returns to the Olimpico as a former player he is inundated with boos from start to finish but they have the opposite effect, the Dutchman doesn’t bend his shoulders but gets charged up.
Sticks 7: Some initial skids on Isaksen’s acceleration, one of these also costs him a yellow card, perhaps excessive. But let’s talk about minutiae, for the rest he is always there to do his thing and guess what… Yes, he produces another assist.
(Dal 18’ s.t. Charles Augustus 7.5: First goal for the Nerazzurri for Carlos Augusto, he also broke free and did so with a great goal: a control to go around the opponent and then the soft touch to mock the outgoing goalkeeper).
Dumfries 7,5: Overwhelms Gigot in the air and wins the penalty. Very soft foot at 2-0, when he catches Dimarco with a kissing cross only to be pushed into the net. He could have pressed the brakes a bit but instead he pushed further and from Bastoni’s cross he scored the header to make it 4-0-
Stretcher 8: The great maturity lies in understanding everything which is one of those evenings all intensity and sacrifice. Close to Bisseck and Dumfries to contain the excessive physical power of Tavares. After the double lead he too starts to have fun and when he receives from Calhanoglu he aims for the corner to score a masterpiece goal. He leaves as a precaution due to a small adductor problem.
(Dal 30’ s.t. Zielinski 6: Thuram gives him a great assist but wastes it by kicking high).
Calhanoglu 7: Pedro literally drives him crazy in both phases and he starts to get nervous. He grits his teeth, stays on his feet, gets a warning that makes him dizzy, but when he shows up from eleven meters away he forgets everything, even that he missed the penalty against Napoli, and becomes a sniper again. He also made the move to target Barella.
(Dal 18’ s.t. Aslan 6.5: Comes in with the result achieved and plays with a calm head).
Mkhitaryan 7,5: It starts at a low frequency and accelerates with a conduction that leaves you enraptured. He also embellishes his match with the assist for Thuram.
Dimarco 7,5: He comes from the back with the evil eyes of someone who wants to win at all costs, so on Dumfries’ cross he puts the ball in and plays it safe. He also provided the assist for Carlos Augusto, who closed the match.
(Dal 36’ s.t. Buchanan: s.v.)
Thuram 7: He mostly plays with his back to the goal, but Patric never manages to limit him because in fact the Frenchman keeps the ball whenever and as much as he wants, to help the team move forward and give his teammates a breather. In the final he wedges himself between two opponents and ends the match by kicking at the near post.
Lautaro 6.5: Scattered traces of the real Lautaro, he starts to move with greater strength in his legs, you see it when he lowers his center of gravity on the ball to defend it and escape. Dimarco’s goal came from his great work in midfield. And how beautiful is the heel tunnel in Tavares.
S. Inzaghi 9: On the eve of the match, the one against Lazio seemed to be the most difficult match of the season. It was Nerazzurri domination of play, ideas and goals. What an Inter, his Inter!
