Italian journalist Giovanni Capuano commented on Inter’s thrilling 6-2 win over Crotone earlier today in a post on his Twitter page after the game.
The Nerazzurri did not start the game well, with the Rossoblu taking the lead after only 12 minutes, with poor defending on a corner allowing the newly promoted side to gain the advantage.
23-year-old Argentine forward Lautaro Martinez struck back only eight minutes later, with Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku playing a key pass to the former Racing man.
Crotone’s own goal put the Milanese club ahead, but Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal gave away a penalty only five minutes later, allowing the newly promoted side a way back into the game.
The Nerazzurri seemed like a different team in the second half, with the decision to bring on Stefano Sensi in place of Arturo Vidal being an important factor.
A strong second half followed, with Inter dominating the Calabrian side and netting multiple times.
The game finished 6-2, an impressive score line as Inter secured their eighth consecutive win in the league.
Capuano commented on the game, saying:
“Inter have huge potential and with one game ahead they are by far the favourites for the Scudetto. In general, I think even Conte, who says otherwise, knows this.
“The issue remains that the choices made on the transfer window he pushed for (Vidal & Kolarov) have been negative until now.”
L’#Inter ha un potenziale enorme e con una sola manifestazione in testa è per distacco la favorita per lo scudetto. In generale penso lo sappia anche #Conte che pure dice il contrario.
Resta il tema delle scelte di mercato spinte da lui (#Vidal e #Kolarov) fin qui negative
