Inter Milan staged the largest substitute feast in 10 years, completed the task and received three positive signals
9:44pm, 8 May 2025Football
Inter Milan defeated Verona 1-0 and continued to fall behind Napoli at the top by 3 points. The
leader's game has frequent controversy (such as Lukaku's offside, such as VAR's turn a blind eye to the Napoli handball controversy), which is very "Serie A" feature.
Inter Milan's game can be described as "constant". Inter Milan did not play very strongly, but completed two major tasks: scoring 3 points to retain hope for the championship, while minimizing consumption as much as possible. The importance of 3 points in
is self-evident, even though Inter Milan no longer has the initiative to compete for the championship.
A typical example is the "triple-champion season". Mourinho's team also did not have the initiative to win the Serie A championship in the final stage, but at the last moment, the Nerazzurri waited for "surprise". Pazini's double score made Roma feel cold, which was the prerequisite for Inter Milan to win the championship.
No matter what, if Inter Milan had given up on the war because they had lost the initiative at one time and did not do their own work first, there would be nothing that happened later.
In addition, the Champions League is about to fight, and the Neptune must also regard "reducing consumption" as a top priority - this night, several other Champions League semi-finals teams also chose to stay. Paris and Arsenal lost this round, and Barcelona's deputy league team leader who had no intention of fighting was only a small victory of one goal.
Inter Milan completed the task. In terms of running, Inter Milan ran 5.14 kilometers less than his opponent. In terms of confrontation, the two teams had only 57 one-on-one confrontations in the entire game.
In the second half, Inter Milan's "health-playing style" was particularly obvious. This is the right way to do it before the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
While completing two major tasks, Inter Milan has three positive signals.
First, in this largest rotation battle for Inter Milan in the past decade, the substitutes showed some highlights.
Compared with the previous game, Inter Milan replaced 10 starters. This is the first time that Inter Milan has carried out such a large-scale rotation since the Italian Cup match between Cagliari in 2015, and it is also the first time in the era of Inzaghi.
Aslani scored his first goal in the league this season, and participated in 3 goals (1 goal and 2 assists) this season to tie last season, which also brought 18 players to score in the league this season (the second most in the five major leagues).
After the Nerazzurri won the penalty, the Albanian stood in front of the free throw point, completely fooled the goalkeeper into the shot, and was elected the official best in the game after the game.
This is something that makes Inter Milan happy. Rising stars are still capable of running coverage and passing accuracy. One of the reasons for the ups and downs of this season is that they are too reserved and lack aura. They always pass safe balls because they are afraid of mistakes and are too cautious.
Inter Milan hopes to see that he has the courage, desire to show off and confidence to "steal the spotlight".
Others such as Zalevsky, Devrey, Augusto, Taremi and others also have occasional highlights. Zalai needs to use his performance to win Inter Milan's buyout. Moreover, although these players are unlikely to start playing in Barcelona, they may also be ordered in the five-time exchange era.
Positive Signal Two, Lautaro won the most applause in the game, and the Inter Milan captain had a great hope of catching up with the second leg against Barcelona.
The atmosphere at Meacha Stadium was not particularly hot throughout the game, after all, the content played by the team was far lower than the average season.
The craziest cheers in the whole audience appeared before the game. When Lautaro came to the stands to watch the game, the audience sent a long applause to the captain. According to the
Sky Station, Lautaro has great hopes for the second round against Barcelona.
Of course, Inter Milan assistant coach Faris said after the game, "From the current situation, the possibility of Lautaro not being able to play is greater than the possibility of playing." Let's listen. As mentioned yesterday, these words are not ruled out that Inter Milan coaching staff "releases smokescreen bombs".
The third positive signal, even the North Stand, which has been protesting this season, is "a prodigal son looking back" before the battle against Barcelona.
In this battle, Inzaghi and Charhanoglu were suspended, mainly because of the "North Stand Case". Let’s not talk about what the football association boss wants to do at this time. To put it just one thing: the reason why this happens is because the North Stand resells the profits in order to hold the tickets for the Champions League final, put pressure on Inter Milan coaches and players, dragging down the team.
For several months, the North Stand has been protesting, with the practice of "staying silent 20 minutes before the game and not shouting" (including this battle). On the one hand, it is protesting the authorities' investigation into the "North Stand Case", and on the other hand, it is also because Inter Milan ticket prices have increased.
Inter Milan has indeed greatly increased the ticket price this season - taking the last two games as an example, the same seat is 99 euros for Verona and 230 euros for Barcelona. 2-3 years ago, the tickets for this kind of league were only 30 euros, and sometimes they can buy 10 euros on the spot - this has increased the club's profits, but the North Stand cannot make money. So their "20-minute silence" took a long time.
However, even before this war, they issued a statement stating that in the battle against Barcelona, they will no longer be silent in the first 20 minutes and will cheer for Inter Milan with all their strength. They shouted the slogan: "Meacha Stadium must be a stove."
Even these controversial groups know that it is time to find their original intention as a hardcore fan, not to be petty for small profits.
If even such a person can temporarily put aside his calculations for the sake of the game, then there is reason to believe that the entire Inter Milan will unite and give everything to fight for Barcelona.
