The return to the derby had been disappointing, and the performance against Fiorentina was even worse. Inter is still waiting to get the real Hakan Calhanoglu back, who rushed back from an injury but is still far from the dominant playmaker seen in the Nerazzurri in recent years.
Against Fiorentina, another serious mistake occurred on the doubling goal, highlighted by La Gazzetta dello Sport: the Turkish player allowed the ball to be taken from him by Richadson too easily, which led to Kean scoring a goal. His performance has been below his typical standards, and he is described as having a lazy playing style by the Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport.
Here are the scores and performance evaluations from newspapers for Calhanoglu’s game yesterday:
La Gazzetta dello Sport 4.5 – Below his usual performance standard. This is not a novelty. Little rhythm, little reactivity. Severe error in the Viola’s second goal.
Corriere dello Sport 5 – Lazy playing style, as someone who doesn’t dare because he isn’t in condition yet.
Tuttosport 4.5 – He hasn’t been himself after the injury: lazy and uninspired playing style.
