Fiorentina-Inter: Edin Dzeko, ageless director and striker

It is old and scores little. Maybe, but the 35-year-old Edin Dzeko drags Inter to a very heavy victory on the Fiorentina field and in the top scorers he has only Immobile in front of him. Exactly Simone Inzaghi’s former striker, who has always been in love with the Bosnian. So much so that since the launch of his Inter he never does without it. The blow that overturned the Viola and launched the Italian champions alone at the top for one night brings the total goals to 18 in just 5 championship days. Equalized a record that held from 1960-61. With many greetings to Lukaku.

Directed and extraordinary

Because BigRom remains an iradiddio, but has yielded 115 million in the bloodless coffers of the club and opened to the arrival of a luminary of the offensive maneuver. Dzeko does not live on shoulders and progressions, he does not uproot his opponents. Yet he drives them crazy by bending down to call them out of the area and open passages for his teammates with his brilliant geometries. If you are an advanced playmaker it is inevitable not to score as an area killer. Yet Edin with the Franchi’s goal rose to 4: two with the head (the other at Genoa on his debut) and two with the right, against Bologna when he had to catch his breath and instead Correa’s injury forced him to overtime.

Double win

—

Oh yes, because the “old man” who did not score so much (6 in that case) from 2017-18 has played all of them for now. And he competed in the 24th consecutive league game with at least one goal to his credit. The tenth in multiple marking. A victory that is worth double because it came against the opponent who put the new course of the Italian champions in more difficulty, able for the second time to recover from a disadvantage and never look back (3-1 also in Verona). A great team test, capable of suffering but also of striking at the right moment against a great aspirant. A bit like what, in reverse, happened in the Champions League against Real. But with a Dzeko like this, even Europe is less scary.

Satisfaction

—

“Today’s victory – commented Dzeko warmly – is a victory for a great team. The first half we suffered a lot and thank goodness we were only at 0-1, but also honor to Fiorentina who made a great first half. Then in the second half they dropped, we were more concrete. Am I at risk of substitution before the goal? Yes, I know, in fact afterwards I ask the coach if maybe he had a drink before – added Dzeko with a joke -. Me and Lautaro ? There is no one who plays in front or behind, strong players can always play together. Lautaro is very strong, I am happy to be here with all these great players. ”
