Lautaro Martinez became the Inter Milan's executioner this Sunday with the winning goal in the 'Derbi della Madonnina' (1-0) and aggravated the wound of a Milan team that continues in free fall, with seven consecutive games without winning, eliminated from the Cup, and defeated in the Super Cup final by the 'nerazzurri' squad.
Only one team appeared at the Giuseppe Meazza, Inter played alone. At least that was the feeling during the first half. The current 'Scudetto' champion has lost all identity, everything that made them reach the top last season. They have the same players, the same coach, but a different team, without any pulse.
So much so that Onana did not receive any shots on goal in the first half. And none in 90 minutes. The goalkeeper watched the game from afar, always in the Milan area, with Tatarusanu overwhelmed by all the shots received, with a constant sense of danger given by an Inter team that, despite their dominance and superiority, did not show their best version. Milan's problem, with the Champions League around the corner, is serious.
Pioli opted for a change of tactics in the face of the evident crisis in the 'rossonero' team's gameplay. He switched to a three-center-back defense and two wingers to place Giroud and Origi up front. He left out Leao. Nothing had any effect, Milan once again proved to be much inferior to their rival, predictable, sterile, and devoid of competitiveness.
