Lecce-Inter, first day: the precedents from Lukaku to Candreva

Inzaghi’s team will kick off the championship at the Giallorossi’s home: it is the third consecutive time that the two teams are paired on the first day

Lu sule, lu mare, Lu kaku. The remake is served, the opening scene is the same as last time. Romelu marries Inter and challenges Lecce on his debut, dreaming of immediately entering the hearts of his fans. The script is identical to 2019/2020: in the first round of Serie A, the Nerazzurri will face the newly promoted Salento. History repeats itself after three years, during which everything has happened. Inter is back great and won the Scudetto, then said goodbye to Conte and sold his precious pieces. Lukaku was first on the list, but is now ready to return. And the spotlight, in the first of the championship, will all be for him. In 2019 he scored a goal and Inter won 4-0. Stop everyone: do you remember Candreva’s “meme” celebrating a Eurogol by running towards Romelu? Here, it was that match.

There’s no two without three

Beyond Lukaku, the debut against Lecce has now become a (welcome) habit at Inter. For the third consecutive time, in fact, the Salento players should approach Serie A by facing the Nerazzurri in the first round. In 2011-2012, Ranieri’s Inter packaged another poker, signed by Pazzini, Milito, Cambiasso and Ricky Alvarez. It ended 4-1, but the match was played on December 21st. Guilt of a strike by the players, which led to the postponement of the first day.

SALENTINO TABU

Both successes in question, however, arrived in front of the San Siro crowd. The Nerazzurri’s resume is less exciting if you look at the intersections at Via del Mare, where Inter have not managed to win since February 7, 2009. Thirteen years ago, Ibra, Figo and Stankovic scored the 0-3 for Mourinho’s team. From that moment on, Inter in Salento has remedied 2 points in 3 games: a draw in 2011, a defeat the following year, finally the 1-1 in January 2020 with goals from Bastoni and Mancosu. Via del Mare has become a real taboo. To dispel this, we will need dear, old Romelu Lukaku.
