There are a lot of question marks around Inter Milan. Last season they broke through the Italian hegemony of Juventus with a lot of bravado, but the team of the brand new coach Simone Inzaghi saw a lot of quality leave.
Goal machine Romelu Lukaku and metronome Achraf Hakimi, among others, are not playing with the scudetto on their chest this year. A painful exodus, but no drama for the time being.
On the opening day of the Italian league, Inter looked into the eyes of the traditional mid-engine Genoa. Despite an excellent game from our compatriot Zinho Vanheusden, Inter managed to penetrate the Genoan defense up to 4 times.
Not Lukaku’s former striker, Lautaro Martinez, opened the Nerazzurri’s account. That role was for his deputy Edin Dzeko, defender Milan Skriniar, new signing Hakan Calhanoglu and warrior Arturo Vidal.
Ten minutes before the end, Dutch wing defender Denzel Dumfries came to give the blue troops an energy boost. He got off to a great start in his first race in Italy, but this year he has Hakimi’s big shoes to fill.
Can Inter also put the fire at the top favorite Juventus after the idle? The newcomers brought the pepper with them today.
