Amidst uncertainties and controversies, Juventus beat Inter and suddenly seemed serene

An intense match, not as beautiful as often happens in the Italian derbies. Kostic decides it, the hosts protest for an alleged handball by Rabiot in the action of the goal. The Bianconeri regained center stage, shaped by Allegri’s ductility. While Inzaghi’s cycle in the Nerazzurri seemed to come to an end

The novel of the profound football and anthropological incompatibility between Inter and Juventus experienced a new chapter last night. On the one hand, the analysis of the defeat was reduced, even a little sadistically, to the dissection of the decisive episode, indeed of those few frames around the first control of Adrien Rabiot, starting with Simone Inzaghi who once again flirted with the caricature of himself: and if they had asked him what time it was or what he wanted for dinner, he would have continued to answer about Rabiot. On the other hand – even with a hint of complacency, evident in the grins dthe Massimiliano Allegri – the heartfelt invitation to “talk about football”, that we at Juve don’t complain when the referees blame us – and of course, Allegri wasn’t the one who for two months, every other interview, arbitrarily attributed himself the two points more than Salernitana: but let’s go on. It is the human comedy, therefore also football, which in today’s episode proposes a Keyser Soze version of Rabiot. Do you remember it? The diabolical character played by Kevin Spacey in the “Usual Suspects”, who managed to fool a platoon of detectives by hiding a truth that they literally had before his eyes. So Rabiot beat the sharp-eyed cameras of the VAR, not once but twice in a week, and all the slow-motion players in the world had to cling to the bureaucracy of the expression “unclear images”.
