Always the most snubbed trophy, at least until the threshold of the semi-final, the national cup often gives the sensation of representing the consolation prize for a season that did not go as expected.
Even for the club led by the Pozzos there seems to be no distinction from the now systemic modus operandi for local clubs.
Here Inzaghi carries out a great rotation, effectively deploying a good part of the second rows (Martinez in goal, Buchanan, Taremi Arnautovic up front), while the neighbor RUNJAIC does not risk several starters by reintroducing a somewhat experimental team in the hope of finding hidden motivations, in consideration of an audience of absolute depth.
PIANA in goal, Rui MODESTO on the right, ATTA from the first in the middle with a relaunch of KABASELE and TOURÈ in the back 3 represent the most important innovations of the 352 of San Siro, led by the seasonal debut of Nino Maravilla eagerly awaited by the Juventus people, in support of LUCCA.
Not even 2 minutes had passed before EKKELENKAMP grazed the post from the edge of the box on a shot from the edge of the area. Subsequently it was Inter who led the way with Udinese being rather careful in the defensive phase with a 3-man formation. Just before the quarter of an hour KABASELE, for a change, induced the referee to award a penalty following the usual reckless slips which as is known is part of the relevant repertoire. Luckily this time VAR was our friend, denying the penalty. But here, half an hour after a good phase of play where the risks seemed to be minimal, EKKELENKAMP with an unfortunate back pass triggered the Nerazzurri attacking duo who with Arnautovic found the mark.
No more than ten minutes passed before the match was temporarily suspended behind the Nerazzurri corner due to illness. At the restart, on a corner kicked by Asllani, no one jumped, PIANA did not intervene, demonstrating that perhaps more time will be needed for the highest stages, with the result that the dish hit the far post mockingly and then ended up in the net. 2-0 at the end of the half, with the team properly beaten for two carelessness not allowed at certain levels, with the positive note of a good 45′ for SANCHEZ, an extra element from today.
Resumption with BRAVO for Nino and ABANKWAH moving to the right for BIJOL; KABASELE in the middle.
The progress of the race does not change the inertia gained in the first part of the race. A header opportunity for LUCCA on the hour mark and a phenomenal shot by TOURÈ in the 90th minute against a couple of good actions by Inter with a post hit by Taremi, seal a result that was never in doubt. Among our steps back for EKKELENKAMP, KABASELE and KAMARA, KARLSTROM always ordered, interesting ideas from BRAVO, ATTA and TOURÈ good, ABANKWAH very well whose ownership will not take long to arrive.
