Onana away, how the Inter-Corriere.it game is changing

Inter changes three out of three goalkeepers, a more unique than rare case. The maxi capital gain that the transfer of Onana to United will bring does not allow too many replies. However, the (great) challenge of joints and intelligent spending risks making Inzaghi’s team take a step back. Or rather, to force her to shed her skin.

Because the Onana-Brozovic axiswith the ability to get out of the opponent’s pressure with calm, technique and precision, has also put Guardiola in crisis: very difficult to play against Onana, a playmaker…. And if something is missing from Inzaghi’s game it won’t be so much the saves and the exits of Andr, but those filtering low shots, capable of immediately triggering the restartperhaps after having attracted as 2-3 forwards in pressing.

As a classic goalkeeper, the Swiss Sommer, despite his 34 years and his 7 centimeters less height, not inferior. But Onana’s approach to play, even more important when Calhanolglu is in control, is not comparable to that of the goalkeeper who condemned Italy to the play-offs (later lost) for the World Cup with Jorginho’s penalty save. Sommer knows how to play with his feet, he throws a lot, even precise ones: but he risks little, relying on softer, more legible passages. And there’s a big difference. As in Trubin’s price and age, which expires in 2024 and costs at least 15 million, 199 centimeters tall and a remarkable prospectus, both between the posts and with the ball at his feet. Sommer costs around 6 million and wants to be a starter like in the last six months at Bayern. Trubin could grow calmly or wait for 2024, now leaving room for a second more classic. All this doesn’t necessarily weaken Inter, but changes it: in Serie A the difference might not be noticeable, but not in the Champions League.
