With a fresh line-up and lots of rotation, especially in view of the big match of the next league game at Napoli’s home, Simone Inzaghi’s Inter managed to overcome Lazio in the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia, in front their own fans. A victory that sends the Nerazzurri directly to the semi-finals where they will once again cross paths with Milan in a two-legged tie.

Before we completely turn the page, we show you five things that you may not have seen in the match at San Siro, which marked Inter’s advancement at the expense of Lazio.

1 We start with the position of Davide Frattesi, different from that usually covered by Barella. The former Sassuolo, especially in the first minutes, started very wide, almost vertical to Darmian. With Frattesi so propitious, who at moments played the role of a fifth midfielder, Zielinski often dropped into midfield to kick-start the building phase together with Asllani.

2 Many have noticed Calhanoglu’s unusual celebration after the goal, but not everyone understood its significance. Contrary to what it might seem, the celebration after the scored penalty was not polemical at all. The Turkish midfielder kept a promise he made a few days ago at Appiano Gentile to Mia, a 6-year-old girl from Nerviano who is a big fan of Inter, together with her father Luca.

3 On Arnautovic’s goal, the whole bench exploded, overwhelming the Austrian for the splendid mark made. But they were not the only ones, as Marcus Thuram – not called up due to injury – also rushed onto the field, jumping over barriers to celebrate alongside his fellow striker.

4 As revealed by Inzaghi in the post-match, Arnautovic’s goal stems from a scheme partly tried in training. The coach’s aim was to draw out a tall marker of the Biancocelesti, thereby creating space inside Lazio’s penalty area, but also to have a good shooter from the edge like the Austrian.

5 The fifth and last thing concerns the sensational performance of Zielinski. He, like Josep Martinez, gave encouraging responses in view of the upcoming commitments. If the Spaniard is going to start again against Napoli, the Pole with this performance sends a serious signal. Considering the negative phase endured by Mkhitaryan, it doesn’t seem at all unthinkable to think of a change of this kind.
