Never give up: it is the premise of Alexis Sánchez and he demonstrated it, once again, in the closing of Inter Milan vs. Spezia for matchday 33 of Serie A. The Chilean forward was knocked down by an opponent's defender, but he recovered to win a great prize: the 3-1 goal at the Alberto Picco stadium.
The home team launched an all-out attack after scoring a goal through Giulio Maggiore in the 88th minute. Then, an aerial ball was intercepted by the Inter midfielder. The defensive clearance then reached the opposing territory for the 'Wonder Boy' to fight with central Dimitrios Nikolaou.
The Greek Spezia defender held Alexis until he threw him to the ground. However, the ball remained in play and Lautaro Martinez continued the offensive. The 'Toro' entered the area and before finishing, he passed to the side so that Sánchez, who quickly got up and made a run, could send the ball into the net for the 3-1.
Inter Milan vs. Spezia: the preview
The 'Nerazzurri' squad has had a noticeable change in their performance with the presence of coach Simone Inzaghi on the bench. However, the team still has options to repeat the league title, but they can no longer give up more ground in order to take advantage of the pending matches.
In the last matchday, Inter Milan defeated Verona 2-0, with goals from Nicolo Barella and Edin Dzeko. Precisely, the Bosnian is one of the top scorers in the club, with 13 goals, one less than Lautaro Martinez. It is worth mentioning that the Argentine did not play in the mentioned match due to suspension.
In this season, the 'Nerazzurri' have become the most feared entity in the Italian championship, scoring 65 goals. Moreover, they have the most solid defense, with only 24 goals conceded, confirming the great performance of Milan Skriniar, Federico Dimarco, and Stefan de Vrij.
On the other hand, Spezia has been inconsistent, although the team has managed to accumulate enough points to stay away from the relegation zone. In the last matchday, the club drew 0-0 in their visit to Empoli, a result that adds a second consecutive game without a loss.
The main star of the 'Aguiluchos' in this season is Daniele Verde, who has scored six goals and provided four assists. Coach Thiago Motta has managed to make the most of the qualities of the Italian forward, who has Emmanuel Gyasi as his main partner (five goals).
