Match Snapshot
Inter Milan thrashed Cremonese 4-1 at Giuseppe Meazza on Saturday in Week 6 of the Serie A season. Inter’s head coach Cristian Kevo, for the first time in public, acknowledged the team’s strong performance with praise, saying, "For the first time, I will take credit for the good things we did. We were in control and we enjoyed playing." The Nerazzurri were organized, pressed well, and scored again under pressure as they built a commanding lead.
Kevo added that the team acted correctly and that the performance was built on discipline and a positive collective mindset. He also reflected on the conceded goal, noting that it wasn’t a worry and that the focus remained on the 85 minutes of attacking play they produced. He stressed that there is room to improve, but also a genuine happiness in the squad for the work they are delivering and the joy they find in playing together.
Key Performances and Reactions
Boni shines and the coach’s calm: Boni delivered a standout display, contributing a goal and three assists. Kevo praised the forward’s growth, saying the team benefits from young talents alongside seasoned players, and he emphasized the collective effort driving the results.
Substitution drama: After 54 minutes, Kevo withdrew right-back Denzel Dumfries and introduced Luis Henrique. The Dutchman reacted with visible anger, kicking the ball in frustration, but Kevo defended the decision, stating that a player has the right to be upset and that Boni’s energy and the group’s rhythm were worth the change.
Kevo also remarked that Dumfries remains a valuable player for Inter and that the squad’s cohesion and purposefulness will guide them forward. In addition, he noted that the upcoming Milan derby against Juventus would be watched with interest, joking that he watches the American football league for “inspiration” when needed.
Attack and goals: Inter’s goals came from Lautaro Martinez (6'), Ioan Boni (38'), Federico Dimarco (55') and Nicolò Barella (57'), while Cremonese replied late through Bonazzoli (87'). Boni’s performance was pivotal, helping Inter extend their lead and showing the depth of the squad as they navigate a busy schedule.
Inter’s victory left them on 12 points, level with Milan, Napoli, and Roma at the top, though the trio ahead have matches in hand. Cremonese remained on nine points, sitting eighth in the table. Boni’s contributions cemented him as a key option for Inter’s attack in the coming fixtures and Martinez continued his productive run in front of goal.
Post-match reflections: Boni spoke to Dazone about the feeling of the win, saying it was wonderful to help the team and that the success stems from the trust Kevo has placed in him. He credited the coach for providing confidence and opportunities, and he stressed the importance of continuing in the same vein.
Numbers and context: Opta highlighted that Martinez scored in back-to-back league matches for the first time since January, while Boni’s multi-goal involvement underscored his all-around influence. Inter sit among the top four, with a balanced share of points and performances, as the league season unfolds.
Bottom line: Inter showed clarity and momentum, with Boni as a catalyst and Kevo finally enjoying the credit for a dominant display. The team’s balance between youth and experience bodes well for their title ambitions, even if questions remain about consistency across the season.
Sniper punchlines: If Kevo keeps collecting credit like this, the club might need to hire a credit manager just to handle all the praise. And Dumfries? He’ll calm down when his bench time feels as valuable as a starting gun—until then, the air upstairs in the press room will stay loud with opinions and orange slices of theory.
