Fabrizio Biasin analyzed Chivu‘s choices ahead of Inter‘s upcoming commitments. According to the journalist, who spoke during L’ascia raddoppia, the match against Napoli is more important than the one at the Bernabéu: the game with the Neapolitans could create a significant gap with the team that finished second last year, while the one at the Bernabéu is one of eight and a possible defeat would be within expectations.
For this reason, Biasin believes that Pio will start, with Thuram possibly finding space precisely at the Bernabéu. The discussion then shifts to squad management and the issue of a fifth striker. “I can assure you that it never crossed the mind of those who managed everything, including the coach,” said the journalist, recalling how Chivu has always replied that he already has the fifth, sixth, and seventh solution.
The concrete example comes from the away match in Cagliari, which ended 1-0 with 31 shots from Inter. Despite the entry of several players, Bonny totaled zero minutes. “For Chivu, Bonny has value, he is important, this year he is in his second year at Inter, he needs to play more,” explained Biasin. If it is difficult to find space for the fourth striker, it would be even harder to include a fifth in the rotation.
On the formation front, the journalist expects Diouf on the right and finds it hard to imagine Bisseck being left out of any important lineup. The defender seems to have recovered from his confusion and physically shows remarkable qualities. Biasin finally pointed out the zero minutes of Carlos Augusto, emphasizing that at this moment it is also necessary to consider those who are left out, players who normally would not be expected to be excluded.
