In the early morning of September 8, the first round of the 2022/23 season Champions League group stage continued to start, Serie A runner-up Inter Milan played at home to the visiting Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich . The gap in strength between the two sides made this game and There is not much suspense. With the goal of Sane and the own goal, Bayern HTML won easily 22-0. The only highlight of Inter Milan is perhaps goalkeeper Onana. He contributed 10 brave saves in this game, allowing Inter Milan to avoid a big defeat.
After the game, this Cameroon goalkeeper who made his debut after joining was selected as the best player of Inter Milan in this game by many Italian media. Among them, "Roman Sports", "Turin Sports" and "Republic" scored 6.5 points for Onana, while "" and "Milan Sports " and "Evening Post" scored 6 points for Onana, both of which The highest in Inter Milan team.
In this game, Inter Milan sent Lautaro Martinez and Dzeko's double centers on the front line, while Lukaku was not included in the roster due to injury. Denbrocio started at the 3 central defender position, while Devrey was on standby. Captain Handanovic sat on the bench for the first time since the start of the season. Onana, who joined for free in the summer window, won a long-lost starting opportunity. In the first two minutes, he resolved Kimmich's two powerful long shots. In the 8th minute, Muler received a diagonal pass from Sane and was also steadily saved by Onana. In the 22nd minute, Onana won a direct conversation with Mueller again. But two minutes later, Inter Milan made a low-level mistake in the defense line. Sane received a long pass from Kimmich and perfectly removed the ball, and then passed the ball and scored an empty goal. Onana was also powerless to do anything about Bayern's attack. .
In the subsequent games, Onana was not affected by the goal conceding and continued to perform bravely. It’s a pity that it’s hard to guard against the thief. In the 64th minute, Bastoni’s header caught him off guard. Fortunately, the ball was rejected by the goal frame. One minute later, Sane and Koman played a wonderful cooperation in the penalty area. Dambrosio made a quick mistake and kicked the ball into his own goal. This time, even if Onana had three heads and six arms, she could only sigh.
In this game, Inter Milan had a 44% possession rate, and only 2 shots were directed at the right time with 9 shots, which was obviously at a disadvantage in the scene. Bayern, who played away, shot 11 times on the target, but only defeated Onana once, and the remaining 10 shots were resolved by the Cameroon goalkeeper. It is hard to imagine what the final score would be if Inter Milan started in this game Handanovic, because the 36-year-old Inter Milan captain is now the "King of Shooting". In the first five rounds of Serie A, Han Danovic only made 12 saves and was knocked open by his opponent 8 times, so if he was guarding the goal, Bayern's 11 shots in the first half would be enough to beat , the Nerazzurri into a sieve.
However, even if he contributed 10 saves, it was not enough to let Onana take the lead. Because before the game, Inter Milan coach Inzaghi once said that Handanovic is only a rest in this game. In other words, in the next round of Serie A , this person is still standing in front of Inter Milan's goal. 36-year-old veteran, and Onana can only be on standby on the bench. The attack is no worse than Handanovic, and the reaction speed is overwhelming the former. More importantly, Onana will not watch the ball into the net like Handa. Such a goalkeeper cannot play to the main player, which is simply unforgivable.
