This time Inter doesn’t shy away and gives a five to a Frosinone team who pay far too dearly for their sins.
The third to last day of the Serie A championship and after with an extremely pleasant Frosinone-Inter and a round result. A 0-5 which paradoxically says very little about the attitude of the teams on the pitch and a lot about the abysmal technical difference that separates them. The Italian Champions Inter they take to the field, as they say, in slippers and deploying a formation full of second and third lines, focusing more on having fun and entertaining. For its part, Frosinone starts off determined and motivated to achieve a very precious result despite this must succumb to immense quality of the Nerazzurri players, to the saves of a Sommer today fully involved and at the limits of a defensive phase that continues to show all its shortcomings almost stoically.
As we said, the final result is in some ways deceitful: Frosinone builds a lot and comes close to the net several times. In reality, the Ciociari are to be praised more for the aggressiveness of the pressing on the Nerazzurri’s low construction and the intensity with which they remained in the game at least until Buchanan’s splendid goal and moreover: most of the Gialloblù opportunities are (de)merit of a distracted Inter defense, with Bisseck and Carlos Augusto more careful to attack than to contain Brescianini’s cuts. Unfortunately for him, however, Yann Sommer he has decided that it is not yet the time to go on holiday and shows off a great performance, pulling down the shutters and denying the Frusinati several times the goal which, at least in the first half, would have changed the momentum of the match. For the rest, the crossbar takes care of suffocating the Stirpe’s scream in the throat.

Not even the hosts’ defense shines for concentration and solidity: Frattesi and Barella are fully at ease in the penalty area and the movements of the forwards and fifths cut the rearguard like a knife through butter. However, Frosinone are not Inter and they don’t have Sommer in goal and over the 90 minutes they cannot afford the constant risk of fouling. This is why the Nerazzurri’s very strong win is, in the end, fully deserved: despite the minimal effort, Inter wins itasserting one’s quality against a team admirable for their attacking attitude but who did not study the lesson taught last week by Sassuolo. A balanced attitude, prudent would perhaps have yielded more than a long assault with the bladed weapon but would certainly have avoided the goleada. This evening’s match says a lot about Frosinone’s season as a whole.
Inter take the field to have fun and almost seem to relegate the search for a result to a mere goal pro forma. Arnautovic’s rabona, Bisseck’s volleys, Barella’s plays are the plastic images of a team that wants to put on a show and knows they have the technique to do so. And it doesn’t hurt if the defense takes a night off: Sommer manages to show off everything his “traditional” goalkeeping skills, with great extension, explosive and reactive saves that have always been the trademark of the Swiss goalkeeper’s style. Net of the paltry xG data (1.36), the five goals bear witness clear superiority of a team that also took to the field to train: the markings of Frattesi and Arnautovic are practically the re-proposal of the schemes tried during the week.
It’s simply one of those evenings where everything is fine. Back to the goal Captain Martinez, who must thank his speed in turning in the strait but also Okoli’s social distancing marking; he goes back to scoring too Arnautovic, finally cold in front of goal tonight. The icing on the cake, however, is the first goal in Italy Tajon Buchanan who has decided to present himself to those who (rightly) still consider him a mysterious object with a beautiful goal. Even if we are unlikely to see ideas of this kind again, the Canadian has shown that he has that sparkling energy that is often missing from a Nerazzurri attack at times too predictable.
