Against the big teams like Lazio, Milan, Tottenham and above all Juventus, Inter has scored on headers. A statistic outlined in today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport.

“Mauro Icardi outsmarted Gigi Buffon last April scoring the 1-1 goal with a header. A goal in front of the Curva Nord, just like the game in 2016 which is the latest game that Inter won. In that game, Icardi scored on a corner-kick where he deviated the ball in goal and then it was Perisic. Inter’s last three goals in the Derby D’Italia has been like this.

“As for the Serie A this is a team that knows how to use their heads. And it will be useful doing it also on Friday when Inter plays the terrible Juventus. No one has done it better than the team of Spalletti, when it comes to being effective in the air. Now as the “anti-Juventus, some comforting answers are expected. And it would been important for Inter and would be a mode for certifying that Inter is again competitive against a team that has dominated the Serie A for 7-8 years now.”
