After the first flashes shown during the Club World Cup, Petar Sucic immediately recorded his first assist in the friendly match played last Sunday against Inter U23. A perfect ball to send Lautaro Martinez into the net, demonstrating his technical qualities as well as excellent vision of the game.

As highlighted this morning by Tuttosport, Sucic could become the true symbol of Inter under Cristian Chivu. A team that the Romanian coach described as ‘hybrid’ during the first press conference of this season, just like the Croatian midfielder. A chameleon-like player, capable of interpreting multiple roles and different tasks.

In short, a versatility that will certainly prove valuable over the course of the season for a coach who likes to vary things like Chivu. At the same time, however, the coach will have to ensure that this great tactical flexibility does not become a constant search for identity: this will be the most difficult challenge in this first season in which Sucic will have to confirm the good things he has already shown in other contexts, but with less pressure on his shoulders.
