After an exhilarating debut in Serie A with a clear 5-0 victory against Inter, Cristian Chivu‘s team stalled, losing 1-2 at San Siro against a very physical opponent like Udinese. One of the departments that worked the least in the match against the Friulians was the midfield, with insufficient performances.
And it is precisely on the midfield that today’s analysis by La Gazzetta dello Sport focuses. The newspaper highlights how, during this break, the Inter coach is reflecting on the next moves to make for his team’s midfield, with Sucic and Diouf eager to make their mark, but with the focus on one profile in particular.
This is Davide Frattesi, who has answered the call of Italy’s coach Gennaro Gattuso but has not yet played for Inter this year. He will initially have to fight for space as a mezzala in the Nerazzurri squad. Chivu holds him in high regard and appreciates him a lot, which is why he wants to find him a place on the field: for the future, the idea of seeing him play as a second striker, behind a forward, remains very much alive.
