The latest great match with the Dutch team’s jersey goal and assist reignited the debates around the performance of Denzel Dumfries, who is still struggling at Inter to carve out a permanent position as a starter, despite his usage becoming more consistent in recent weeks.
The matter is discussed in-depth by the Corriere dello Sport, which tries to explain the reasons why Inzaghi continues not to blindly trust him, preferring instead Darmian in certain contexts. The main examples would be the last big matches against Juventus and Napoli: a lot of offensive incisiveness, but also evident blunders in defense.
Against the bianconeri, the Dutchman earned a penalty and also scored a goal, but he was also responsible for the two goals by Yildiz that forced the nerazzurri to a draw. A similar situation occurred against Conte’s team: his cunning in suffering the foul from Anguissa balanced out by a naive mark on the goal by McTominay.
