Inter, D’Ambrosio and Sanchez reborn: Inzaghi wins even without Skriniar and Dzeko

Milan Skriniar and Edin Dzeko together on the bench in a match to be won at all costs. Inside Danilo D’Ambrosio and Alexis Sanchez, both at their first as a starter this season. Their moment arrived against Empoli and the move by Inzaghi, a distant spectator of the match, was a winner: the beautiful triangulation between the two – culminating in the header of the former Torino – allowed the Nerazzurri to unlock the match. But D’Ambrosio and Sanchez did not limit themselves to scoring, sending important signals to the coach throughout the match.

STILL EMPOLI

—

D’Ambrosio goes wild when he sees Empoli. On 26 May 2019, DD33 was decisive against the Tuscans on the last day, in the key match for access to the Champions League. The save with the ball on the crossbar at minute 88 is emblematic. From that night to the 0-2 of Castellani, there was a championship won: “We achieved certain results by reasoning only with us and not with me”, the words of D’Ambrosio after the first half in commenting on the exultation with Dumfries, the negative protagonist of the match against Juventus. Also this time – and before the goal – Danilo was decisive in his own penalty area, with Luperto saving on a sure shot at 19 ‘. Also noteworthy is a small risk taken on 31 ‘: contact in the area with Bajrami, not judged foul by Chiffi.

SANCHEZ, NEW WEAPON?

—

To send D’Ambrosio into goal was Sanchez, a player able to invent at any moment. The Castellani match was not obvious to unlock: it took an invention of the former United to break the balance. Only the goal was missing: Sanchez tried his head in the second half, showing an interesting ability to lift. The Chilean’s season can start with Empoli’s victory: 85 minutes played in four games. Correa entered the final, on the way to full recovery: with the two of them, the attack available to Inzaghi becomes even more interesting. After weeks in the shade, D’Ambrosio and Sanchez shone at the Castellani. Who knows that Inter may not have found new weapons available.
