The new Inter restarts from the defence: pressing, marking and fouls at the right moment

Inter’s growth is all in a foul, necessary, blatant, decisive: in the 1987 minute, Raspadori is ready to restart Napoli on the counterattack, Dumfries tackles him as if he were playing rugby. The referee rightly waves the yellow card, no one protests, meanwhile the result is in the icebox. The sequence brings to mind the too many times in which, especially at the beginning of the championship, the Nerazzurri players instead pulled their leg back, or lost a game time, in crucial moments of the match, perhaps for fear of being booked and then replaced by Inzaghi, or just for lack of determination.
