Calcio Saga 19/20

Half time:
Parma 1 - 0 Inter

gervinho's goal the difference ; although Parma should have scored 2-3 goals - attempts by cornelius was incredibly poor when gervinho pace caught inter defense with only handanovic to beat ; another attempt by cornelius wide ; meanwhile kulusevski also had a good attempt on goal which just went wide.

From inter point of view - dangers were mostly coming from flanks esp. candreva but lautaro nor lukaku were found ; inter combined pretty good on build up but their final products are missing - that dynamic duo upfront is missing
meanwhile godin is being caught out pretty good by both kulusevski ; gervinho doing the same to candreva when candreva is pushing upfront and not tracking back.
excellent job by de vrij though keeping cornelius on check both of them having some very physical and aerial battles so far.

eriksen is ok but he just hasn't been able to find gaps or his attempt to split parma defense hasn't worked ; barella looks the most potent on midfield though

game overall ijust end to end action all over the place - this game has more to offer on second half for sure

Inter coming very close to scoring - midfielders coming very well finding players in spaces taking attempts - Parma just holding barely atm...
Parma meanwhile is looking a quick attempts to hit inter on break but so far all long range attempts to find cornelius has been nulled pretty much easily by de vrij ;

inter may level or score in quick succession at this rate

ohhhhh kulusevskiiiiiiiiiii ...... gervinho again the main man behind parma counter - finds kulusevski ... godin again no where to be found and kulusevski just shoots side.

parma may regret the chance missed so far ...

de vrij again to the rescue ... long range kick from gk almost found kulsevski with only de vrij at the back but de vrij gest the ball quickly ; best player for inter along with barella so far thats for sure ; inter mieanwhile again looking threatening from the wide and parma is not keeping inter players on check at flanks... lautaro heads wide. ...

ohhhhhhhhhhh candreva a wonderful pass to erikson and he just shoots side. inter is putting lot of bodies upfront risking up. that being said they are the ones atm looking likely to score ; parma looking bit careles in defense

very cool finish by gervinho he still has got a lot of mileage and acceleration on him RG - fits into Arsenal team

3 changes by Inter at once

eriksen out for sanchez
candreva out for moses
biraghi out for young

lol he has been slowly introduced to inter side to get him used to italian football
this game eriksen has been trying really hard but unable to break or find spaces past defenders ....
in general he is doing ok - he hasn't had the luxruy of exploiting his talent as he used to do in open EPL games though thats for sure ; that being said he is very good in finding players on dangerous area ; he has provided assists but again he has just been recently played in starting 11...

problem this game if u ask me is not eriksen really - lautaro or lukaku hasnt really posed danger  or atleast either of them are not reading eriksen's mind where he wants to see them with their runs and all

inter aren't playing well atm but they are putting lot of threats upfront in parma defense ;
if parma dont get another goal they will definitely loose this game even though inter arent playing good they are the team looking most likely to score ; creating and build up is excellent final product sucking

de vrij is the whole game .... entire game he is keeping cornelius on check ; not giving him any chance whatsoever ... damn de virj! f k up once in a while!

de virj time to mess up!!! he is playing way too good ... XD
meanwhile good shot on goal by sanchez ...

Parma looks like running out of gas atm ; they are all dropping back looking only to hit them on break... all inter atm ...

De Virj......and just like that scores a header goal
De Virj 1 - 1 Gervinho

this was coming ..... wth... Parma

kucka sent off for desset ! both yellow on argument at referee!

Bastoni scores!!! Inter 2 - 1 Parma
Parma is done this game ..... man down and this was coming really and kucka i get it referee was being ass but just stop arguing!
being from one of the best player for parma to the worst ....

Incredibly lucky from Inter to win this game

D'Aversa has done surprisingly well at Parma given the circumstances. Probably will be at a better club soon enough

seriously serie a referee sucks!!!! i mean not aiming at any team but they dont know how to calm down like EPL referees.... just they like to embroil more into the madness themselves...

that being said inter had taken risk putting all the bodies upfront and parma didnt take advantage on break they had chances...

lucky but also at the same time inter risked a lot putting lot of bodies up front ; thats where parma should have hit them back hard on counter but instead they just let inter play their game!! just poor

parma has been doing well i agree they also have some very good players like cornelius, kulusevski gervinho kucka
this game though they threw aaway so cheap when they should have scored 2-3 goals to nil...

this is so disappointing .... parma they started the game fast and they gave up really fast ...! + wasted so many opportunities ...
and de vrij should learn some from Gagliardini

parma - so much entertainment but they just had premature e ... haiz...
De Vrij was annoyingly good! kept cornelius quiet the whole game! scored vital goal just timely interception never die attitude at the back ;

Gervinho is like NOS
Kulusevski is going to have a lot of fun in juve

Parma

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

yea man they just gave everything and then at threw towel with still like 20 mins to play ...
such a short term performance on pitch ... not good

also kucka should have known better - knowing referees in Serie A his whole career and how stupid and ass they can be - he just gave a reason to that referee to pull card ...
