Intensity paramount for Inter in Derby d’Italia with Juve

ESPN FC analyst Craig Burley sounds off on Hernanes' back-flip celebration for Inter Milan defeating his former side Lazio, where he feels Hernanes does not owe anyone an apology for scoring.

Brilliant Roma win shows Hernanes is starting to find his feet at Inter Milan

ESPN FC analyst Craig Burley sounds off on Hernanes' back-flip celebration for Inter Milan defeating his former side Lazio, where he feels Hernanes does not owe anyone an apology for scoring.

Hernanes somersaulting at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome was not unusual in years gone by during his time at Lazio. Seeing him do so for Internazionale in their 2-1 win over his former club on Sunday was a surreal sight, though, as the Brazilian midfielder continued his good form.
It was more than just scoring against your old club, for Hernanes it was relief. Both he and the team have not been able to reach their potential this season and instead have dovetailed each other in a cycle of inconsistency….
