Ivan Perisic was the star of the show in Inter’s win over Hellas Verona as the media highlight Simone Inzaghi’s ‘great work.’
The Nerazzurri picked up a key 2-0 win over the Gialloblu yesterday at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, with Nicolo Barella and Edin Dzeko scoring vital goals thanks to assists from Perisic. The win means Inzaghi’s side are still firmly involved in the title race, putting the pressure on Napoli and Milan now.
Perisic was heavily praised by the Italian press following the 2-0 win, with La Gazzetta dello Sport underlining his “assists for the two goals, a continuous run and chase.” Corriere dello Sport came to a similar conclusion, feeling that “he presses like Superman, Inter cannot lose him.” Tuttosport called the Croatian “the arrow that broke Verona’s resistance.”
Inzaghi also received credit from the Italian media. La Gazzetta dello Sport noted how “he took advantage of Hellas Verona’s decision to play a one-on-one match. It backfired for them.” Corriere dello Sport felt that Inzaghi’s “spectacular Inter team are back. They won with merit.” Tuttosport said that “Inter are a Formula One team that still has margins of development”, highlighting “the great work done at the Pinetina.”
