The Corriere dello Sport gave ratings to the Nerazzurri team after advancing to the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia thanks to the 5-1 victory over Venezia. Let us remember that Inter now awaits the winner of the match between Roma and Torino, who will face off again in a single-leg match in the next round.
Marcus Thuram was the best on the field with a 7.5. The French striker found the net again after two and a half months, scoring twice: first he smashed home the ball for the third goal, then he doubled his tally with a header in the second half. The long injury layoff now seems a distant memory.
Positive marks also for Pio Esposito, awarded a 7. The young striker scored his first goal at the Meazza with a great long-range shot that beat Grandi. An emotion he will carry with him forever, according to the Roman newspaper.
The same rating for Diouf, in his first start with the Nerazzurri shirt. Deployed as an inverted winger, he got on the scoresheet with a goal he created entirely on his own, enhanced by an assist from a willing Frattesi. A performance that is the best way to answer any doubts about him.
The only negative rating of the evening was for Sucic, who received a 5.5. The midfielder, in particular, was too easily beaten by Sagrado on the occasion of Venezia‘s goal.
