After Napoli‘s victory against Cagliari, decided by Anguissa‘s last-minute goal, everyone today is expecting a strong response from Inter. Cristian Chivu‘s team, in some ways, surprised in the first match of this championship: not so much for the win over Torino, but for the quality of play and the hunger shown by the players after just one month of work.
To prove that Inter’s merits outweighed Torino’s shortcomings, today Inter will need to build on that 5-0 win achieved on Monday night with another convincing performance against Udinese. To do so, Chivu might decide to make just one change in the starting lineup: with Calhanoglu returning from suspension, he will be placed in front of the defense, while Mkhitaryan could sit on the bench to once again make room for the surprising Petar Sucic.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, there are two more selection dilemmas that the Romanian coach will carry with him in the coming hours in the defensive department. According to the newspaper, both Bisseck and de Vrij will try “to compete for a spot with Pavard and Acerbi.” These doubts could also depend on the characteristics of Udinese‘s attackers and the coach will only resolve them in the afternoon.
