MATCH REVIEW, INTER 1-1 ROMA

The Nerazzurri attacked plenty on Saturday night, although ultimately had to settle for a useful draw at San Siro

<p><strong>MILAN</strong>&nbsp;- The Nerazzurri demonstrated strength and determination to get back into the game on Saturday, and after the <a href="https://www.inter.it/en/news/67409/spalletti-we-were-more-organised-and-mature-in-the-second-half" target="_blank">match the Coach had this to say</a>: &ldquo;We chipped away at them slowly, finding the space needed to make it 1-1&rdquo;. <strong>Ivan</strong> <strong>Perisic</strong> was the man to score the equaliser against Roma, duly bringing us closer to our objective. Of course, it would&rsquo;ve been better to secure all three points, especially considering our many chances. However, considering results from other Serie A games, it was still a positive result nonetheless.</p> <p>As for our analysis, Spalletti&rsquo;s side worked extremely hard during the match, enjoying many goalscoring chances and also<strong> plenty of possession</strong>. They finished the game with a lion&rsquo;s share 72.1 percent, asserting themselves once again as the team with the highest average . In total they made <strong>680</strong> <strong>passes</strong> to the opposition&rsquo;s 267. Furthermore, we also had 13 attempts &ndash;&nbsp;six off target &ndash; and 10 goalscoring chances. Positionally, our heatmap indicated that we attacked mostly down the left-hand side.</p> <p>Covering the left flank were both our Croatian No.44 and <strong>Danilo</strong> <strong>D&rsquo;Ambrosio</strong>. In providing his fifth assist of the season, the latter continued his rich vein of recent form. The full-back was extremely attacking down his left side, putting in the game&rsquo;s <strong>decisive</strong> <strong>cross</strong> and also creating three other chances. His teammate on the opposing flank, <strong>Asamoah</strong>, also put in a fine performance &ndash; completing 83.1 percent of his 77 passes and also whipping in four crosses.</p> <p>However, the game&rsquo;s real MVP was <strong>Borja</strong> <strong>Valero</strong>. The Spaniard made 139 passes against Roma, achieving an incredible 95.1 percent completion rate. A true metronome in the middle, providing balance in our build-up play and controlling possession well. His impact off the ball was also demonstrated in the 90th minute when he nicked the ball back from Dzeko.</p> <p>Overall, the entire team demonstrated great fitness, running a total of <strong>110.85km</strong> altogether. <strong>Matias</strong> <strong>Vecino</strong> covered the most ground with 12.8km, while <strong>Matteo</strong> <strong>Politano</strong> was the &lsquo;top sprinter&rsquo;, reaching speeds of 32.74 km/h.</p> <p>As a whole, these figures ensure that the doors to Europe are still open, although <strong>it&rsquo;s all down to us</strong>. While this is a point in the right direction, there is still all to play for and we&rsquo;ll be sure to go again in the <strong>Derby d&rsquo;Italia </strong>next Sunday. A match where no added motivation is needed, right guys? <strong>FORZA INTER!</strong></p>
