errors of priorities and choices – Corriere.it

Evidently the thought of the Champions League obscures others. This applies to all, with some differences. However, Napoli wins; Milan didn’t confirm that they have problems when they have to attack opponents who think they can’t take them; Inter are no longer able to play a normal game. In fact, there is no longer anything logical or rational in Inter’s season.

A group like the Nerazzurri cannot score 4 points in the league out of the last 18 against opponents who are – for now – all behind in the standings (Juventus excluded if the -15 is not taken into account). There is always something that breaks the bank. Yesterday the mistakes of Lukaku and Lautaro (once lethal), the saves of the old Ochoa and a wrong cross from Candreva in the 90th minute.

The impression for that Inter will have trouble looking for it persistently. Inzaghi with his choices and changes (all the substitutes did worse than those who started the game), the players with an at least distracted attitude. If the problem that takes away energy and concentration is the imminent quarter-final with Benfica, the double error.

Any manager of any club says that the most important thing is to finish the championship in the top 4 to secure the 50 million from UEFA. Inter, of those 50 million, is the one that needs the most, but you wouldn’t think it when you look at it. The impression that the coach and the team don’t have clear priorities. Unless you are convinced they can win the Champions League.

If they succeeded, in addition to the clamorous blow to life, they would also solve the problems of those in society who have to do arithmetic. But in that (possible) conviction there is nothing logical and rational as, indeed, in the entire Nerazzurri season. Napoli has re-knotted the threads of its team in Lecce. The 0-4 draw with Milan was evidently not easy to overcome and in fact Spalletti’s men showed little of what they are and Osimhen’s absence is not enough to justify the opacity of the performance. Di Lorenzo’s goal made one think of a small cabotage competition. Then things got complicated and it took an autorete to fix the problems. A sign, if you will, that it really is the right year. Said this: Napoli must pay close attention to Milan, who have also blamed the weight of the forthcoming commitment and reiterated that he suffers without the starting forwards. The Rossoneri, however, conceded nothing to Empoli. And in big matches, when they start with Leao, Giroud and the others, they regularly manage to raise the level
