Outside the quality, inside the quantity. Conte falls back into it, once again in a situation of advantage, he manages the race with a provincial mentality. Inter lowers, gives Rome the field, shows fear. But the signal to retreat was sent by Conte from the bench, with substitutions that had already determined the same way on other occasions. Perisic instead of the tip is nothing new, against Spezia he had entered for Lukaku and the team had lost meters, conceded goals and risked insult. Idem against Atalanta, when the Croatian, a quarter of an hour from the end, took the place of Sanchez against Inter’s 1-0. Final result 1-1. Against Napoli, same concept error with different protagonists: outside Lautaro and inside Hakimi to make the second striker. Result? The blue siege begins.
UNDER ACCUSATION – Conte’s changes end up under accusation, the anger of the fans explodes on social networks and the Nerazzurri coach defends himself by saying that the bench must be used. No doubt, in fact, he is accused of using it badly, not using it! In addition to Perisic instead of Lautaro, Conte also chose Gagliardini for Vidal and Kolarov for Hakimi. So Inter disappeared from the playing field of the Olimpico. Lukaku isolated in attack and midfield without setters, how could Inter have worried Roma on the restart?
LEGITIMATE DOUBTS – Why not Sanchez instead of Lautaro? It was necessary to remove Hakimi, devastating until then? Why not Sensi in place of Vidal, given that when the blue midfielder enters, does Inter always win? And instead inside Gagliardini, the man called “guarantee”, always by Conte. Legitimate questions, which flood the social networks and nail the former coach, always too conservative, often slow to recognize the real needs in the decisive moments.
