Diouf impresses in training, Chivu considers a change of position

The performance of Andy Diouf in the match against Karlsruher did not surprise Cristian Chivu. According to Corriere dello Sport, the coach saw qualities in the French midfielder that deserve further exploration, so much so that he decided to try him as a right winger in the 3-5-2 formation.

The Nerazzurri coach decided to try this solution to find a position for the player who arrived in Milan a year ago. Diouf had been signed by Inter to play as a central midfielder, with the task of breaking open blocked matches. Ausilio had identified qualities in him that are gradually emerging over time.

During last season’s training sessions, in the matches where he replaced Dumfries and Luis Henrique, but also in the first days of training camp between Appiano Gentile and Germany, the former Lens player showed skills that impressed the coaching staff. The Frenchman’s potential is becoming increasingly evident.
