Godliness is a bad business, even in the temple of a saint.
The worst Madrid is capable of being impious even in San Siro, by changing reality with a goal, after a match in which it was dominated and in which its only argument had been
Courtois
, key to stopping a better, dominating Inter in all the lots except the one decided by the winner.
Neither
Lautaro, nor Dzeko, nor Brozovic
could take dominance to the scoreboard.
Al Madrid was enough, practically, a lash.
[0-1: Narration and statistics]
Rodrygo gave it but it was created by
Camavinga
, who arrives at Madrid with force.
A goal and an assist in two games is a great way to present yourself.
They were the two changes of
Ancelotti
, whose face changed a minute from the end.
The previous one was a shame.
He did not lack reasons.
The layout of Inter, with a line of three centrals and two very long laterals, was like showing
Vinicius
the apple of sin.
But Madrid did not have, initially, anything necessary to value its best asset at this start to the season.
Ancelotti's team started in their field and barely left it in the first half in which they were dominated in an insulting way.
More physical, more aggressive and clearer in his game, Inter put Madrid in the box, where he resisted the equalizer thanks to Courtois, was it against Lautaro, Brozovic or Dzeko, the latter at point blank range.
Ancelotti knew that San Siro was going to be different and took a containment measure, such as to dispense with
Miguel Gutiérrez
and opt for hierarchy and experience, with
Alaba
, back at eleven, as central and
Nacho
displaced to the left side.
On the opposite side, he looked for something similar, opting for
Lucas Vázquez
instead of Hazard.
More help, in a nutshell.
Madrid lost in this way, but gained in solidity, the coach thought.
The reality was different.
Ancelotti's changes
It is very possible that what Ancelotti was looking for would have been fulfilled better with the changed roles or it may not be either, because Inter's drive, launched with a lot of sense by
Barella
from the three quarters, did not find a replica in the center of the field.
Casemiro
is heavy, far from his optimal state, and Madrid suffers a lot from that. The Brazilian is like a sensor of the team's health.
Vinicius looked at everything as if he were doing it from the Klimanjaro. A footballer of his kind is like a cheetah, he needs to save his energy for the race and the final blow. But in San Siro things was not for that, and the null help of the Brazilian on the left turned that band into the ideal place for Inter to overturn their game, was it through
Darmian
or the falls of Lautaro. The Argentine is a torment for the defenders. It has the strength of Agüero and the mobility of
Eto'o
, everything in its proportions. You can finish at the goalkeeper's private preserve or leave his domain to find the combination. Dzeko is, basically, auction. Lukaku was something else, a Polyphemus from the area. His loss is not just anyone's. Nor that of a coach like Antonio Conte, a frantic guy, who arrives, compresses, wins and leaves. A
Simone Inzaghi
, Pippo brother, corresponds to
the transition. It does not start badly, despite this defeat.
While Casemiro did not manage to cover everything desired,
Benzema
despaired, unable to find clean connections, too far from where he can be useful to Madrid. Inter won the disputes, all of them, except those with which they had to define the match. The break was the opportunity to change the tone, and Madrid came out entrusted to do so, with a step ahead of Modric and a compulsive Benzema. The duel entered a balanced phase, although it was Courtois, once again, who again avoided the goal, in a new shot from Dzeko.
Siomne Inzaghi did not delay with the changes, relieving his sides in unison and renewing the forces of his lines when Madrid tried to grow.
Di Marco gave him what he expected in a game with more alternatives and in which the midfield lost weight, something that was worse for Inter, despite the entry of
Arturo Vidal
.
Ancelotti was slower, but it was key.
Rodrygo and Camavinga were his options in the blow exchange phase that gave Benzema the option.
The Frenchman's shot went out.
If Madrid did something right then, it was to take advantage of the loopholes that his proof of life was going to give him.
Camavinga has it all ahead.
Your pass is a real baptism.
