Dzeko and the goal in Inter-Napoli, the secrets of the striker who never gets old – Corriere.it

Spalletti doesn’t smile, he is lucid in his analysis and also criticizes himself: We weren’t good at playing with the same quality as always, and this also depended on me. The ball moved a bit slowly, we could have done more and there were some who didn’t play as usual. The first defeat in the championship had to come sooner or later, perhaps Luciano would have liked another square and not his former San Siro. Now we need to manage the comeback, Spalletti doesn’t make drama: We’ll train better than we did.

Inzaghi’s mood is different, he managed the perfect match and now he has the awareness of being able to move up the table. Don’t worry, Simone: It was a great injection of confidence to have beaten Napoli, it was a pleasure to see my boys play like this. We have won nine of the last ten games, we have to look at game after game. Inter in its squad has a swan who doesn’t want to hear the last song. Edin Dzeko: the loyalty card. I know I’m 36, but I work more than ever. Lukaku, certainty; Osimhen, the hope. Neither one nor the other for Inter and Napoli. In the end the match was solved by the man who at 36 never disappoints expectations. The seventh goal in the league, the diesel warming up at a distance. That he doesn’t lose his head, that he jumps between two defenders and mocks Meret. The silent Edin who doesn’t like the spotlight too much and when he ends up under it he juggles with ease and also elegance. Napoli can do everything – he said – but we want to win.

He had read it and thus interpreted it. An authentic jewel forever, and he who in the land of him was baptized the Bosnian diamond continues to shine with its own light. He had to support Lukaku, he had to extend the field. He had to… and then he did something else. He did what he likes to do: a beautiful and blatant goal from a pure center forward. And to think that at the beginning of his career he had started as a midfielder and had had to struggle to gain credibility as a striker. He looked at Shevchenko and was inspired, worked and held on. Courses and appeals of the footballer who today without glossy showcases looks after the substance of the goals. Those that have a specific weight: the last one, last night, gave Inter the hope of a comeback that seemed almost impossible. Because in battle he knows how to stand with the sacrifice, because he doesn’t evade responsibility. Without fuss and without pain. Everyone who was born and raised in Bosnia has a story to tell about the war: well, Dzeko and his family, as his fellow internationals abandoned Sarajevo during the siege, chose not to flee. To take refuge in a basement apartment.

Inzaghi thanks, Dzeko his choice rather than the spare one. the card of certainty, the value of seriousness and experience. Spalletti knows what the good Edin is capable of. At the time of Rome, of his glorious Giallorossi experience, was already her trusted man. Yesterday evening at the San Siro, some of him betrayed his trust, and the first defeat is not a drama for the advantage accumulated, but it burns.
