Biolchi (Sky Sport): "Frattesi was no longer himself due to a psychological block, I believe there is regret within Inter's camp"

The performance of Frattesi in Italy‘s 3-1 victory over France has brought the spotlight back onto the midfielder. Commenting on the situation is Alessandro Biolchi, journalist for Sky Sport, who offered a precise analysis of the midfielder’s decline at Appiano.

“Frattesi was no longer himself due to a psychological block rather than technical characteristics,” explained Biolchi. “When he is well, mentally as well as physically, he scores goals like this. Even before the goal, on many occasions he was in France’s box with those runs: yesterday he, Tonali, and Barella were fantastic.”

The journalist then highlighted a tactical aspect of the match: “Those who watched the game will remember that when France had the ball and Italy was sitting deep, Frattesi would push up to press and win back the ball.”

On the Nerazzurri front, Biolchi did not hide a certain internal reflection within the club: “I believe there is some regret at Inter about this, but I know that at Appiano he was no longer himself: he needed a change of environment. He has become a key player for the National Team again.”
