#Steeven.™ Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Inter-Napoli, 'decaffeinated' in qualifying terms, held great interest in 'Spanish key': they are, respectively, Getafe and Barcelona's rivals in the eighths of the Europa League and Champions League. A duel that was decided in favor of the 'neroazzurri' (2-0) thanks to a solitary goal by Danilo D'Ambrosio (11 ') and another by Lautaro Martínez (74'). It is possible, however, that the bet did not leave too many conclusions for either Bordalás or Setién. Both Conte and Gattuso rotated en masse. The substitution of Lautaro Martínez to give entrance to Alexis Sánchez was especially surprising. In addition, Godín, Ranocchia, Skriniar, Moses, Gagliardini (sanctioned) and Eriksen gave their place to D'Ambrosio, De Vrij, Bastoni, Candreva, Barella and Borja Valero. It should be remembered that Sensi and Vecino continue to be on leave due to injury. The 'Napoli', without Mertens (sanctioned) or the injured Manolas and Llorente, introduced six other changes: Meret, Mário Rui, Maksimovic, Demme, Elmas and Politano took over from Ospina, Di Lorenzo, Manolas, Lobotka, Fabián and Callejón . Inter started 'a la Conte', without giving the rival a break. That push soon faded ... but it had a prize: a loss by Mário Rui ended in a 'death pass' by Biraghi that D'Ambrosio pushed into the net. The game, after the goal, went from one area to another. Handanovic had to use himself thoroughly to thwart the attempts of Zielinksi (25 ') and Politano (31'). The clearest, however, was sent off by Insigne, heads up in 36 '. Incomprehensible. Inter, on the counterattack, were able to score 2-0 before the break: Meret took Alexis heads-up in the 38th minute and put in a great close-range hand from Brozovic in the 46th minute. Lautaro Martínez 'keeping quiet' mouths The Argentine, wanted by Barcelona, took the field for Alexis in the 60th minute. He did it with the desire to claim after four unmarked games and many rumors about his possible transfer to Barcelona. It did not take long to do so. In the 74th minute, he received a ball from behind, with no apparent danger, took Demme off him and beat Meret with a shot from outside the area. 'El Toro' already has 14 goals in Serie A this season. 4
