The first impressive performance by Petar Sucic at San Siro truly enchanted everyone, including Cristian Chivu. While the qualities of the Croatian midfielder were well known, it was by no means a given that, in the thrilling atmosphere of the Meazza, the 2003-born player could perform with such calmness and personality among his new teammates.
For this reason, according to what was written by La Gazzetta dello Sport, it is not out of the question that Sucic could do it again and start as a starter even against Udinese. The one who will not pay the price will certainly not be Calhanoglu, who, upon returning from suspension, will regularly take the field in front of the defense. The competition is instead open with Mkhitaryan, who risks being left out from the first minute to make room for the Croatian.
As reported by the pink newspaper, with Sucic in the starting lineup, Inter would also gain “in terms of dynamism: the Croatian was the midfielder who ran the most on his debut and even Chivu himself said he was surprised by his desire to bite at his opponents.” A nice late-summer surprise for all the Nerazzurri fans and a response to those who criticized the latest transfer market signings of Inter.
