Inter loses, two end up on the gridiron

Edin Dzeko and Joaquìn Correa end up in the dock.

Agreed, it was a friendly. Agreed, we are always talking about July soccer – not even August – but losing is never a pleasure. Not even, or perhaps all the more so – when the goal of defeat comes on the developments of a free kick in the 90th minute. Nerazzurri fans are questioning the performance their team put in at Lens, where the local side beat the vice-champions of Italy with a last-minute goal by Openda.

It may still be frustration over the non-arrival of Paulo Dybala, or anger at having seen the Bremer shot slip away, but the fact is that on social media the Beneamata fans did not take it well. Singling out two culprits above all: Edin Dzeko and Joaquìn Correa.

The Bosnian, appreciated throughout last season, has been literally showered with criticism: he is accused of slowness, lack of will and even little attachment to the jersey. The latter, plagued by injuries last season, seems to have exhausted the credit available to him. Nerazzurri supporters, with few exceptions, are clamoring to get rid of both.
