Aslani scored a point to determine the world! Inter Milan 1-0 Verona chased Napoli for 3 points!

1. Break the penalty kick: Meacha's redemption moment

In the early morning of May 4, the 35th round of Serie A focused match started at Meacha Stadium. Inter Milan faces Verona at home, but this seemingly disparate showdown has changed due to a penalty kick. In the 8th minute, Vlatesi broke into the penalty area and caused Valentini's handball foul. After VAR intervened, the referee decisively awarded a penalty. Aslani calmly pushed the ball into the lower right corner and scored for the team's first record.

This goal not only ended the decline of Inter Milan's two consecutive defeats, but also demonstrated the team's resilience in adversity. Despite the ball control rate of 69%, Inter Milan only shot at the right time in the game, exposing the offensive efficiency issue. Although Verona's possession rate was less than 31%, his 26 dangerous attacks once made Handanovic's goal-winning panic.

2. Key Mr.: Aslani's counterattack path

The most dazzling star in this game is Aslani. The 23-year-old North Macedonian midfielder scored for the first time in Serie A this season, but proved his worth with a penalty worth a thousand gold. As a substitute, he completed 2 steals and 1 interception in 45 minutes, with a pass success rate of up to 87%, becoming a hub for midfield offensive and defensive conversion.

Asrani's rise is no accident. This season, he scored Real Madrid goal in the Champions League group stage and also scored assists against Atalanta. Despite being a substitute for Calhanoglu for a long time, he contributed 3 goals and 2 assists in his limited playing time, showing his big heart attributes. After this game, his net worth has soared from €8 million when he joined the franchise to €25 million.

3. Midfielder: Cialhanoglu's all-round performance

Although Cialhanoglu did not directly participate in the goal, his performance was the best in the game. As the team’s midfield commander, he touched 110 times, had a 94% pass success rate and created 1 excellent opportunity. On the defensive end, he completed 2 steals and 1 interception, successfully limiting Verona's core Duda's performance.

Calhanoglu's role is not only reflected in the data. His midfield dispatch allowed Inter Milan to always control the rhythm and made many long passes to instigate attacks on the wing. In the 65th minute, he passed the ball to Damian's right-hand breakthrough, and the score could have been expanded if it weren't for Arnautovic's mistake in grabbing the spot. He has contributed 7 goals and 12 assists this season, and has been selected into the Serie A best team for three consecutive years, becoming an indispensable soul figure in the Nerazzurri.

4. Points fluctuation: Undercurrents under the 3-point gap

After this game, Inter Milan continued to rank second with 74 points, 3 points behind the leader Naples. Although the Nerazzurri, which has one less game, remains hopeful of championship competition, the next schedule is devilish: a derby against AC Milan on May 10, a second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona on May 15, and a final away challenge to Lazio.

In contrast, Naples, the remaining opponents include Genoa, Parma and Cagliari, have a significantly advantageous schedule. Despite Osmain's absence due to injury, Kvaratshelia's outbreak (21 goals and 15 assists this season) has kept them at the top of the list. If Inter Milan cannot score 3 points in the derby, the suspense of the championship may end early.

5. Tactical Game: Little Inzaji's rotation philosophy

Facing the iron barrel formation of the relegation team, Little Inzaji chose to rotate in large areas. Archerby, Barrera and other main players rested, Arnautovic partnered with Correa as the double striker, and Damian and Zalevsky were separated from the wing. Although this adjustment weakens the offensive sharpness, it enhances midfield control - the dual-core combination of Cialhanoglu and Vlatesi gives Inter Milan always the advantage in the middle.

Verona set out in a 5-3-2 formation, relying on the rapid counterattack of Simeone Jr. and Caprari to create a threat. In the 38th minute, Caprari took Duda's pass and formed a single shot. If Handanovic had not saved the game bravely, the score might have been rewritten. Verona completed 5 shots in this game, including 3 shots on the right side, showing efficient counterattack efficiency.

6. Youth Storm: The growth pain of the new star

This game witnessed the potential and risks of Inter Milan's youth training. The 19-year-old Bissek started for the first time for the first time, contributing 3 clearances and 2 interceptions in the three-center-back system, showing the style of a general. But youth comes with the price: In the 62nd minute, he fouled handball in the penalty area, and Verona could have received a penalty without VAR intervening.

Verona, 21-year-old Slochager made his Serie A debut on the bench. The Croatian star made two threats on the right, showing excellent personal abilities. However, his rashness on the defensive end also led to the team losing positions many times and being replaced by the coach in the middle.

7. Future Outlook: Dawn and Challenge of the Four-Crown Championship

After the victory in this game, Inter Milan is moving towards an unprecedented four-Crown Championship. The King's Cup has won the championship, reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, the league retains hope of winning the championship, and the Italian Super Cup is also expected to defend its title in August. But the challenge before us is also arduous: the second leg of the Champions League needs to defeat Barcelona away, and the final league match will face Milan derby and Lazio, and the depth of the lineup will be tested.

For Aslani, the next game will be the stage to prove himself. If he can continue his current state, he will not only be expected to win the best newcomer in Serie A, but also be the core of the national team. For the entire Inter Milan team, this victory is not only a three-pointer gain, but also a tempering of confidence - in the most difficult moments, they can still find the key to victory.
