The victory with Bologna is already behind us, Inter want to continue running, extend their escape and get their hands on the Scudetto.
Sassuolo arrives on Wednesday at San Siro to recover the unplayed match after the stop of the Ats for Covid cases: against the neroverdi it is the right opportunity to go to +11 on Milan, perhaps hoping for good news from the Juventus match -Napoli, which will be played simultaneously to try to close the practical championship.
It is not yet time for calculations at the Nerazzurri, so the head goes to the next "final", the one against De Zerbi's men.
"We see him more closely, others from further away, but there is still a long way to go. Now we seal this moment with Sassuolo", explained Conte after the victory at Dall'Ara.
The tenth consecutive victory is in the sights, a streak that Inter hadn't lined up since 2006/07, when with Mancini there were 17 consecutive victories, which led to the Scudetto with a record of points in the history of the Nerazzurri.
Conte wants to extend his streak, but has to deal with the absent.
In fact, Wednesday there will be two key players like Bastoni and Brozovic, warned and booked (among other things in the same action) against Bologna, as well as Kolarov and Perisic, already out on Saturday due to muscle problems and not at their best.
In defense, to complete the trio with Skriniar and De Vrij, D'Ambrosio could see himself again, even if the fact that he has just returned after the positivity at Covid could make the choice fall on Darmian or on the confirmation of Ranocchia, owner of the Dall'Ara.
In the median, however, Eriksen should take the place of Brozovic in the direction, with a three-way ballot between Gagliardini, Sensi and Vecino, even if the former Atalanta seems the favorite.
But Inter must continue to pay attention to the yellow cards: a yellow card would cost Barella and Lukaku the stop against Cagliari, even if it would take away any risk towards the trip to Naples on 18 April.
Absences that could be heavy, especially as regards the Belgian striker, who is increasingly decisive in recent matches.
With the three-point goal against Bologna, his league score speaks of 20 goals (26 throughout the season), numbers that have allowed him to become the seventh player in the history of Inter to have scored at least 20 goals in the league in two consecutive seasons with the Nerazzurri: together with him, champions such as Meazza, Amadei, Boninsegna, Icardi, Nyers and Vieri.
But the numbers for Lukaku are not everything: "The group is the most important thing, we have a goal ahead and we must continue like this".
And the scudetto dream is getting closer and closer.
