Certainly! Here is the English translation:

On Matchday 35 of **Serie A**, in **Inter vs Verona**, the Nerazzurri returned to victory after two consecutive league defeats away to Bologna and at home against Roma. The win came from a **1-0** result, thanks to a penalty goal by **Asllani**, who took the shot himself [despite the simultaneous presence on the field of **Arnautovic** and **Zielinski**]https://www.passioneinter.com/analisi/cinque-cose-inter-verona-3-maggio-2025/.
Below, we analyze **five points** that some may have overlooked in this San Siro match between **Inter** and **Verona**—a game in which Simone **Inzaghi** was absent due to suspension, just days before another **decisive and highly anticipated game**: the second leg of the **Champions League** semi-final against **Barcelona**, again at the Meazza.
– Both teams really seemed to **have little desire to play**. There was very little spectacle and a total of **just 3 shots on target** 2 for Inter, 1 for Verona. Inter needed to win while saving their energy, and they managed it almost entirely without starters on the field, with 10 players different from the match against Barcelona. **They return to scoring after two league games** without a goal and also finally keep a **clean sheet, something that hadn’t happened since March 16 against Atalanta**. In between, there had been 10 consecutive games in which Sommer or Martinez had always conceded a goal.
– Several players were under scrutiny: **Frattesi and Zielinski were expected to give some answers, but didn’t**, **Arnautovic** was too **soft** against the **worst defense** in the league. **Zalewski**, on the other hand, with **4 dribbles completed out of 5 attempted**, is according to **WhoScored** data already the Inter player who attempts and completes the most dribbles. This was clear by eye, but the numbers confirm it: he attempts over 30% more dribbles than anyone else. Is this enough to warrant his permanent deal, considering **Inter should buy him from Roma for €6.5 million**?
– Yesterday Inter tried to overload Verona on their right side, attacking behind Tchatchoua. Frattesi often drifted to the right and **the penalty came from a combination between Frattesi, Arnautovic, and Correa** with the ball ending up out wide. Correa’s position is intriguing: he now plays as a midfielder and hardly enters the box anymore, [but in three games he’ll say goodbye to Inter]https://www.passioneinter.com/calciomercato-inter/4-cessioni-estate-repubblica/.
– *La Gazzetta dello Sport* has **already awarded the Scudetto to Napoli**, who hold a clear lead and could secure top spot with **just two wins and a draw**. The Azzurri, however, are struggling at the end of matches against anyone and constantly suffering. Inter has a duty to stay in the hunt until the end and put pressure on them; **if Conte wins, the proper analysis will be made**. [Maybe some refereeing decisions will finally go against them.]https://www.passioneinter.com/inter-news/gol-rigore-lecce-napoli/
– One last thing you may have missed: **the Barcelona game**. Real Valladolid, already relegated and bottom of the table, are in total turmoil but still manage to take the lead against a heavily rotated Barcelona side only Pedri and Gerard Martin kept their places. **The home team’s goal comes from a set piece**, with the shot deflected. Barcelona create several chances, but Valladolid almost make it 2-0 on a counterattack that exposes Barca’s high line. Yamal and Raphinha then come on and Barcelona turn it around. [Bad news arrives for Flick from the medical room, though.]https://www.passioneinter.com/inter-news/infermeria-balde-inter-barcellona/
