The coach is suspended and the captain is absent, Inter Milan still reverses Roma and leads the standings!
In the early morning of February 11, Beijing time, Milan defeated Roma 4-2, making it five consecutive victories and taking a seven-point lead in all competitions. Despite captain Inzaghi being suspended and captain Lautaro Martinez falling silent, Inter Milan managed to win a convincing victory, which is why they remained strong in the power of the game.
Inter Milan have beaten Fiorentina and Juventus twice in a row 1-0 and they are already leading the league. Inzaghi Jr. will be suspended, while Roma have won three games in a row after a change of manager, and Inter supporters are feeling uneasy. Judging by the first half, their fears were justified. Roma's Acerbi opened the scoring before Roberto Mancini's header made it 2-1 at 44 minutes and Xavi's goal gave us a 2-1 advantage.
However, Inter looked completely different in the second half than they did in the first half, with Thuram scoring a goal in the 49th minute to take a 2-2 lead. In the 56th minute, Mkhitaryan made a beautiful pass in midfield, and Angelinho scored under pressure from Thuram to give Inter a 2-3 lead. Arnautovic completed a beautiful pass in the third minute of extra time to give Inter a 4-2 victory.
Inter had 53% possession and 10 goals, 6 goals and 4 goals; Roma had eight shots, three shots on goal and two goals. Both teams played well in the first half, but Inter Milan emerged victorious at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Although captain Lautaro Martinez scored only one goal, Inter Milan did not embarrass Chinese fans on the second day of the Chinese New Year, they are Chinese.
After this game, Inter have won 23 league games with 19 wins and 1 loss, and are seven points ahead of Juventus by 60 points. They are very close to the club's 20th league title. Another thing that makes Inter Milan fans proud is this strong conversation.
In the past, the Serie A Seven Sisters have been a hot topic among fans. The current Parma, although it is still Serie B, is not what they used to be. Despite this, Milan, Roma, Juventus, Fiorentina, defending champions Napoli and Atalanta are all good teams. With the exception of Bologna, the top nine are in the bag of these eight clubs. The best way for a team's overall strength is to see if it can achieve good results in a strong matchup. Inter did a great job with that.
Inter have met seven other clubs 10 times so far, with only one draw on Juventus and the remaining nine wins; Fiorentina, Roma, beat Milan 5:1, Napoli 3:0, Lazio 2:1, Juventus 1:0, Atalanta 2:1. The way this race is played is different, but the end result is the same. With such a strong lineup, people can't help but feel the strength of Inter this season.
