It was certainly a positive performance put in yesterday afternoon in Benghazi by Yann Bisseck. The German center-back, who ended up on the bench with the arrival of Akanji, really needed a performance like this after going through some difficult weeks. In the friendly against Atletico Madrid, it was the Inter defender who extended the match to penalties with a fine header for the 1-1.
Apart from his contribution in scoring, Chivu especially liked his performance for a tactical reason. The Romanian coach sees in the class of 2000 a modern defender, capable of keeping the defensive line high. This is a characteristic that was highlighted again in yesterday’s match and one the coach would like to focus on for the future.
This is the explanation from La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Bisseck was one of the few starters brought on this lightning trip, used mainly to give some Primavera and Under 23 players a taste of an international atmosphere. Yann gave interesting signs of recovery: he has played just 66 minutes in the last 6 games, all against Slavia in the Champions League, but he has the ability to keep the line high, which his coach likes.”
