OVERFLOWING
Nine goals, three by Milito, four penalties. New, crazy and winning Inter.
The Nerazzurri went up 3-0 with the gifts from Genoa defense.
Then a lucky goal by Moretti initiated a second half with thousand of thrills (and two red cards).
Milan - Then it all ended in glory and that was how it should be, the right thing. But since Andrea Stramaccioni is not a magic wand, it is fair to say that this 5-4 must have made him lose a few kilograms because there are certain conditions that remind him of the "old" Inter. Too many for his taste even though he has only had five days of work. But the most important thing here is that the team still seems to be a stranger to the San Siro where after three draws and two defeats, white smoke came out yesterday with a victory after two months. This taboo was canceled because of a good hand from Genoa, but this is another story or better yet, it will be discussed shortly.
Revival of Zarate Inter had taken very little to call the bluff of Genoa: started bold, then they discovered the beautiful defensive mistakes by the side that has now conceded 56 goals in 30 games. With that, Inter have scored the third goal after the 13th minute mark this season with the first two being against Catania (Cambiasso) and Parma (Milito). Success came, not just because of the inspiration on Milito's part, thanks to the more dynamic line in the midfield than in the recent past and the revitalization of Zarate who now has his first goal in the league. After having seen him chasing the opponents, making contribution on the first goal, and then scoring for the 4-2, Stramaccioni must have said: "See? I was right to believe him."
Milito makes a perfect impact on the ball for the 1-0.
Record PKs against Pazza Inter was right where the "pazza" is unfortunate (without the lucky goal by Moretti, perhaps the second half would have been different), ill-treated (three penalties against, now there are 9 in 30 games: personal record like in the '85-86 season). Marino gambled. He made the suicidal but yet effective risk of replacing Veloso with Jankovic. The midfielder was then placed wide right to form a 4-2-4 more than a 4-4-2. Then Stramaccioni heard the alarm bells ringing. To counter, he threw in the fresh legs of Fredy Guarin for Stankovic and then asked Obi to be the more "covered" version of Forlan even if, after five minutes, the red card of Julio Cesar forced the team to turn that 4-4-2 to a 4-4-1.Points gained At that point, the game became a sort of crazed pinball machine. At the end, Marino has the fifth defeat in nine games (four miserable points, the last smile was two full months ago) while Stramaccioni breathed a sigh of relief with all three points: all of which are gained over the losses of Lazio, Udinese and Napoli (two on Catania). He will say that he is not going to look at the table but everyone is.
