The first derby of Italy of the season gave the same indications as the last one: in the summer big match Inter is definitely ahead of Juventus, the Nerazzurri beat the eternal Bianconeri rivals and return from the tour in Australia unbeaten. The 2-1 for Cristian Chivu’s team is deserved, in fact for large parts of the game they were much closer to 3-0 than to a draw by Luciano Spalletti’s team. Dimarco and Diouf paved the way for the Nerazzurri, Conceicao reignited Juve at the end but it was too late: thus comes the first summer defeat for Locatelli and company.

“Inter showed to be more of a team than us in the first half, it is a process we absolutely have to go through – analyzed the Certaldo coach after the game – we have to take a step forward, we will see how we find the balance”.

Already on Dimarco he seemed anything but blameless, with the left-footed Nerazzurri full-back not unstoppable, but it is on Diouf that he made a big mistake: clumsy intervention, rebound on the back and ball that ends up in the net. For months now directors Carnevali and Massara have been looking for a new goalkeeper, two weeks before the start of the championship the situation has not yet been unlocked: the hypothesis of reaching Suzuki remains on the table, perhaps on loan from Paris Saint Germain in case of a white smoke between the French and Parma, and the profile of Vicario, now on the margins of Tottenham, is not ruled out either. Spalletti is waiting to solve the goalkeeping problem, while in attack David was unable to sting and Yildiz is still looking for the best form after the knee troubles that have tormented him in recent months.

But the former Atalanta player was not even booked.
