Bergomi on Inter: the right winger is needed, but the Scudetto is the priority

Beppe Bergomi analyzed the current situation of Inter on the microphones of La Gazzetta dello Sport, focusing on the transfer market and the team’s objectives. The former Nerazzurri captain has no doubts about the quality of the work done by the club, highlighting their ability to maintain their identity despite the departure of five key pillars.

“I always like to say that they are the best,” said Bergomi. “And they have maintained their recognizability even though they have said goodbye to five pillars, because people like Acerbi, De Vrij and Darmian have always been fundamental for their teammates. So far, they are not bringing in starters, but supporting players, strong ones, to complete the squad and remain competitive.”

The former defender then commented on individual players: “Stones is an experienced and talented player, Dimarco is already in great shape, Stankovic junior is good, and I would also keep Pavard. Only the wing-back is missing, even though it’s tough. By now it’s increasingly difficult to find the famous ‘fifths’. Wide players either play as full-backs or as wingers.”

On the possibility of returning to the Champions League final, Bergomi urged caution: “We must not lose sight of Serie A, also because I make a logical argument: Real, Barcelona, Bayern, Psg… they are all superior to Italian teams. Inter has played two finals and must aim for it again, redeeming the defeat against Bodo Glimt, but it’s difficult. Also because if you don’t bring home the Scudetto, they’ll give you a hard time.”
