Smarchiamo immediately the issue of the quarrel between the two coaches, the least edifying and altogether less interesting than a match also lackluster. When the fourth official indicates five minutes of recovery Mancini gets up from the bench to protest; Sarri confronts him and, as she said then Mancini with the confirmation of the same Sarri, addressed him calling him a “fag” and “queer.” Now faces a heavy suspension, up to two months, if the sports court decides to consider his words as “racist offense.”

We’ll see, but you can not remember that Sarri is a recidivist two years ago when coach of Empoli in B, after the expulsion of one of his players against Varese commented saying that “football has become a sport for fags.” Adding that in Italy, “he whistles a lot more than in England with interpretations by homosexuals.”

We come to the game and the sport on the field, then that is what should interest more. Inter returns to be as bad as in its heyday, when grinding points and opponents reaching the top spot in the Championship. It is a coincidence, but coming back is bad even winning. Maybe it’s in the DNA of this group play especially in defense, trying to slow the pace and then hit on the break with extreme effectiveness. It will be a case, it said, but when Inter creates many opportunities usually checks low. When he plays badly and gets very little in front of the goal, however, the percentage of construction rears up: yesterday three shots on target (the first after a quarter of an hour plenty of recovery) and two goals. Before Jovetic, Ljajic then in stoppage time.

Napoli played in restructured training, without Hamsik, Higuain and Insigne, dominating the race in length and breadth. Blocked by the Nerazzurri that pointed more to destroy than to build, but the game seemed marked without discussion to certify the pass to the semifinals of the hosts. When Sarri did raise Higuain and Hamsik was the turning, but diametrically opposite of what everyone expected. Inter went ahead (it was the 29th of the second half) and Naples has ceased to dominate. Mysteries of football.

Mancini preseason seeks to inculcate in the minds of his men to the principle of the beautiful game: perhaps should give up and to better manage what he has. Which after all it is a lot more in terms of results, than he dared hope even the most heated Inter fan. Defense and counter-attack will be too old concepts and Italian football 60 years, but all in all formed the basis of many of the claims of our international football, both at club and national team.

The farewell Guarin, who flies to the Jiangsu Province in China for 18 million euro (over seven per year for three years immediate bonus of five player) opens new openings for the market Thohir. The dilemma at this point is whether to chase the dream of a fun team and able to build a lot of scoring chances, or whether further strengthen a mechanism that naturally it is not structured to take them and capitalize on every ball playable.

The semi-finals of the Italian Cup has a lot more to Inter that for Naples: the Neapolitan grown (rightly) ambitions Scudetto, Inter goal on which proceeds without headlights pointing out that the real goal is to qualify for the Champions next year. Mancini, who has won several career, the Italian Cup could still be a nice trophy to be raised in this first full year after his return on the Inter bench. Juventus and Lazio permitting, because the winner between the two will be the next and last obstacle on the road to the final.
