Another game without a victory in the Brasileirão, and Inter could have scored, since Goiás, even with the series of the last games, is an opponent to be beaten.
There was no shortage of opportunities, Tadeu made at least three incredible saves, in two submissions by Enner, and one by Maurício. Incidentally, it is essential to highlight Enner’s speed in the knee finish, miraculously saved by Tadeu, who, as a colleague said, turned Neuer against Inter.
I also point out that it is the fourth game without conceding goals, even with a good defense by Rochet, before that we came from a series of games conceding a goal in all of them.
What I thought the team lacked was more desire to win the game. Inter didn’t show intensity at any time, even when the “reserves” joined, they simply controlled the game with possession and without any effort to score.
I say this because the difference with River’s game is clear, when Inter printed speed and intensity, both in the defense and in the attack, putting pressure on the opponent. Saturday, Goiás was not “pressured”.
I even understand, it’s difficult to turn off the Libertadores button, and after what happened to Vitão, I don’t think the starters will take a lot of risk. Also after the criminal entry into Endrick, lightly punished by Daronco, it’s hard for a player to risk so much.
And that was visible in the Palmeiras derby, and also in the Fluminense game, which got the result but took a heat from Fortaleza.
The teams disputing the Libertadores are visibly with their foot on the brake, playing what is necessary.
I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, it’s just a statement of what I saw over the weekend.
On the other hand, I got involved in a discussion about kicking and taking advantage of players, and I made an observation: Alan Patrick has been shooting just as poorly as Wanderson. Then I was told that Alan Patrick has three times more goals than Wanderson. My observation was that Alan Patrick kicks three times as much as Wanderson.
That’s the idea of quantity. I checked the Arsenal game, which is a beautiful team, with Martinelli, in my opinion, starting any team in the world. And I saw Liverpool too. The amount of bizarre player errors is huge. Saka doesn’t dominate in the area, Martinelli misses crosses, and so on, not to mention finishing.
But the number of attempts is much greater than in the Brazilian games (Fortaleza tried a lot against Flu), the number of kicks is greater, the number of crosses is greater, and perhaps the proportion of hits is the same, only the number makes so that the hits are shown on the scoreboard.
I think that’s what Inter lacks, trying more, taking more risks, even if the kick is bizarre, to the side, masked or whatever, but it’s a kick, a shot, and from the quantity the percentage of success will appear.
Inter de Coudet doesn’t finish as much, they control the game more, and it seems that the defense has been fixed, now it’s time to go on the attack, looking for more conclusions, even if imperfect, but in greater quantity. My impression is that we will score more goals, even if the goalkeepers fail, or balls are deflected. It’s the same goal.
