It ends 1-0 for Inter, and is not new since it is of ‘eighth time this season. Yet it is a different kind of 1-0, the son of a well-played game, spectacular and fun despite a Genoa arrived in San Siro with the clear intention not to play the game and close like a clam to take home a goalless draw. Nothing to say, more than legitimate especially given the difficulties of Liguria at this stage of the season.

But the plan fails because Gasperini, Inter’s Mancini, it seems that finally is beginning to run even the game : that beautiful, awaited by critics and fans, and that so far had been a fugitive. Last night, even against an opponent not transcendental but difficult to approach because of the extremely cautious tactical approach, the Nerazzurri have produced a lot: with the dominance in possession, more than 62%, as many as 11 shots toward the goal of 6 which addressed in goal.

There is little point to remember that the goals will come only on the 14th of the second half by the action less action, ie a punishment of cross-Ljajic that nobody touches and ends up in the net. A “gollonzo” that does not change one iota the positive impression left by Mancini’s men, who could have scored many more times.

A couple of times, to stop the Nerazzurri, we thought the ‘referee Giacomelli: two minutes later the advantage of Inter blocks Ljajic, he always, for a non-existent offside. But mostly it denied a penalty Palacio, anticipated with a foul by Ansaldi. Recrimination is useless, as I have always said and I continue to support, so it is also reported for the record.

In this Inter is growing visibly Ljajic, after a start anything but exciting season has earned a permanent place in the eleven holder: which is not easy, considering the continuous rotations to which Mancini forced his men. Rotations that, in addition to not adversely affect the standings (pending the match between Bologna and Naples the Beloved is alone at the top) allows not squeeze energy unnecessarily and decreases the risk of injury. Exactly the opposite of what he is doing Sarri with the Neapolitans, who actually took the field almost always with the same team. We’ll see who in the long run will be right between the two engineers.

Who sees the eighth 1-0 of the season as a negative, perhaps you’d better think again: it can no longer be considered as the ability of random ‘Inter to maintain the slight advantage thanks to a defense that proceeds with very few blunders (unfortunately for the Nerazzurri fans the most serious have occurred precisely against Napoli and Fiorentina, but without doing damage insurmountable in light of the league).

Room for improvement? I think Inter will still have: the defensive pair Miranda-Murillo grows visibly and could lock up even better than it is already doing a rearguard difficult to get enfilade. Up front there are still goals from Icardi, one with the signatures has always proved to have a good confideza. The periods of abstinence captain to all attackers, sooner or later the law of large numbers, he will return to throw it inside. Not to mention that, since last August 30, is to dry a certain Stevan Jovetic. It also sbloccasse him life would be really tough for all opponents.
