Conte summarized the game after the match by saying, "This is a goal we have been chasing the ball for a long time, and we did it against a great team, this game showed our mental strength and I am happy for my players."
Inter Milan took the initiative in the 21st minute of the game, Lautaro was put into the penalty area by the opponent's defender, the referee decided to award a penalty kick, Lukaku took the penalty and broke the goal. According to statistics, Lukaku in the last two Serie A seasons of 10 penalty kicks all hit none missed, the data shows that Lukaku's strong psychological state and stability. In the 44th minute, Brozovic's shovel indirectly assisted Lukaku to score the second goal of the game; in the 63rd minute, Inter launched a counter-attack, Lukaku took the ball on the right and passed it to the unguarded Lautaro, who scored an empty goal for Inter to seal the victory.
With two shots and a pass, Lukaku was outstanding. In the season that has ended, Lukaku played 29 games for Inter Milan in all competitions, scoring 22 goals and delivering 4 assists. In 21 Serie A games, he contributed 16 goals and 4 assists. It's worth noting that Lukaku's goal in this game took his career goal tally to 300, a feat he accomplished at the age of 27, the Belgian is getting closer and closer to being a world-class scorer. Conte needs this for Lukaku, "Lukaku has found his fire and we need him to perform like this, we need everyone in the team to be determined and passionate."
Not only Lukaku, but in Conte's choice of starting lineup, Perisic and Eriksen, both once fringe players, have gradually become important players in the team. In a series of important games, Eriksen played a key role. Previously, in order to help Eriksen regain his form, Conte even changed the team's tactics to help Eriksen adapt to the game, and with the help of Eriksen's continuous efforts and the team's help, he eventually activated this powerful midfielder. With Lazio's game, Eriksson was able to revitalize the midfield and link up the attack. His resurgence gives Inter Milan a stronger midfield to support in future matches.
Perisic's situation is not quite the same compared to Eriksson's. Changing from left winger to wing position, Perisic is gradually adapting to his unfamiliar position and growing rapidly. Conte said after the game that Perisic's defense is constantly improving, in the case of limited playing time, Perisic in the season sent 2 goals and 2 assists, the defensive end of the average close to 1 steal, 1.1 times the data is enough to illustrate the problem. Perisic has worked very hard in training and it is clear that he will be more comfortable in his new position during games, as Conte said, "He is better in both offense and defense. We all know he can attack, but he has also made progress in defense."
With all three points, Inter Milan overtook AC Milan to move to the top of the Serie A table, but the players are aware that they need to work harder, and Schick said after the game, "This win is an important signal, now we are at the top of Serie A, but in order to stay there we need to keep working hard, and everyone is very happy about that.
