In a friendly match taking place at Stadio San Nicola in Bari, John Stones had a perfect start to his career at Inter Milan by scoring the only goal to help the team overcome Real Betis with a score of 1-0. The Englishman was brought onto the field in the second half and after just 12 minutes, he helped the Nerazzurri score with a half-bounce after a free kick from Federico Dimarco. This is the final match of Inter's pre-season before they enter the Serie A season with the task of defending the championship and Coppa Italia title.
The match got off to an inauspicious start for Real Betis as they had to make an early substitution due to Hector Bellerin's injury. However, the Spanish team had the first chance when a shot from Antony went close to the post. Andy Diouf showed impressive form on the right wing, while Hakan Calhanoglu also had a dangerous shot but failed. However, the combination of Francesco Pio Esposito and Ange-Yoan Bonny is not really compatible, causing them to not be able to take advantage of good opportunities.
Everything changed when Stones came on the field, with Lautaro Martinez also returning after a long absence. As soon as Stones scored, the atmosphere on the field became more exciting. Stones' goal came from a well-coordinated situation between Inter players, with Benjamin Pavard facilitating Stones to score from a distance of 9 yards.
Coach Cristian Chivu's team almost had a second goal in the final minutes of the match, but Dimarco's shot was blocked by goalkeeper Manu Gonzalez before Henrikh Mkhitaryan kicked it out. This win not only brought joy to John Stones but was also a promising start for Inter before the new season.
What happens next
After this friendly match, Inter will continue to prepare for the new season with important matches in Serie A. They will need to maintain good form and chemistry between players, especially when Lautaro Martinez returns after an absence. The team will need to take advantage of opportunities to assert their strength right from the beginning of the season.
