Inter, confirmed a single certainty: the regret of the season has the name of Romelu Lukaku

FcInter1908.it’s analysis on Inter-Sassuolo: Simone Inzaghi’s team wins another three points in the sign of the Belgian and gets closer to the goal

It’s not Inter if it’s not, even a minimum, crazy. Three more gold points for l’Inter, who with a pinch of madness also crashes Sassuolo and gets ever closer to qualifying for the next Champions League through the championship. For a moment the lead of Simone Inzaghi’s team, at 3-0, went there, on the match: the derby on Tuesday evening which can give a real dream. But it took a one-two from Sassuolo to rekindle the tension and to remember that nothing is taken for granted: it is only the (second) goal of a sublime Romelu Lukaku that definitively closes the games, reopened due to a physiological mental decline.

For long stretches of the game, Inter confirmed what they had seen in the last few matches: cynical in front of goal, attentive and concentrated behind. And apart from the first half hour, in which Simone Inzaghi’s team really struggled to produce play, an undeniable fact is confirmed: the unpredictability is back up front and the 18 goals scored in the last 5 games prove it. And Inzaghi’s match plan, although perhaps not the way he wanted, fully worked out: because Inter had really put the match on the track he wanted. Result in strong cash and energy savings in view of Milan. But as mentioned, there is no Inter without that small, innate madness.

And this match confirmed another unequivocal fact: Inter’s true regret of the season bears the name of Romelu Lukaku. Because having lost the Belgian centre-forward for practically 3/4 of the season had a huge weight in the economy of the Nerazzurri’s championship, who only found the true Big Rom in April. Because on his 30th birthday Big Rom decided to settle the match against Sassuolo with two goals reminiscent of the 2020/21 season, made of rare power and precision. But who knows if this fact will not turn into luck: there is still a dream to ride and with a Lukaku like this it is impossible to keep your feet on the ground.
