It is true that this tape, in the campaign compilation, will not show an outstanding performance by Lautaro Martínez in this victory over Genoa. The bull, top scorer of the championship, with 23 goals, he reserved more stellar passages in previous games. He was not close to the goal – he had three shots on goal – and was reprimanded for simulating a penalty. He did not hide a gesture of annoyance with the fourth referee for the yellow card he had received when he was replaced 15 minutes from time. In any case, there is no gray performance that can appease the fans’ applause for their captain, who once his bad mood passed, entered the field after the end to celebrate with his teammates.

This Monday he was the starter Alexis Sanchez. He accompanied Lautaro in the attack, who normally pairs offensively with Marcus Thuram, while Marko Arnautovic is the other alternative up front.

A disputed penalty allowed Inter to widen the difference. Referee Giovanni Ayroldi charged Frendrup with a foul on Barella. The VAR called him to check his sanction, since the Inter midfielder fell in the area after shooting and stumbling in front of the rival’s cross. There was the feeling that there was no infringement, but Ayroldi stood by his decision. Lautaro is, along with Calhanoglu, one of those in charge of the penalties, but It came from having one saved against Atalanta and he left it to Sánchez, author of the 2-0. When it was time for the rotation, the Boy Wonder was replaced by Thuram at 19 of the second period.

In the comparison, Retegui looked for the goal more than Lautaro. The ex-Tigre had a good chance in a cross from the right that beat Pavard and connected with a header that was blocked by goalkeeper Yann Sommer. A header over the crossbar and a shot inside the area that bounced off a defender were the other interventions in the first half by Retegui, who needs to maintain a good level to continue being called up to the Italian national team. His landing in the Blue It was at the express request of Roberto Mancini, who resigned a few months ago to earn more money as head of Saudi Arabia. Now, the striker trained in Boca’s youth team must convince Luciano Spalletti -present at the Giuseppe Meazza-, which last season led Napoli to win the scudetto which I had not achieved since the time of Diego Maradona.

As the second half progressed, Inter relaxed, letting Genoa grow, who scored with a shot from outside the area by the Mexican Johan Vasquez. The match began to have unexpected uncertainty. Inter received another strong warning when a Retegui hairstyle He left the way for Vitor Oliveira to score, whose goal was not validated due to a slight off-side.

With just over 15 minutes left, Retegui came close to equalizing with a header that went wide. There was a bit of suspense, but Inter’s film repeated the ending of a victory, although this time Lautaro had a secondary role.
