Positioned in front of the defence, while Calhanoglu was shifted to play as an inside midfielder, Asllani once again failed to impress with his performance away at Parma. The Albanian midfielder, who had provided a good left-footed pass in the first half, was unable to make a decisive impact on the match and was overwhelmed by the home team’s aggressiveness early in the second half.
Let’s see how the main Italian sports newspapers rated and reviewed Asllani’s performance this morning:
LA GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT 5 – Yet another poor showing, a bland display in midfield control. It might have been better to move him to the inside position and keep Calhanoglu in his usual directing role.
TUTTOSPORT 5 – The pupil alongside his master, who steals the scene. Toward the end, when he should have recovered some personality, he collapses like the rest of the team.
PASSIONE INTER 5 – Playing for the first time with Calhanoglu alongside him, he does his duty without standing out, trying one shot that flies well above the goal. In the final moments, he was replaced by Inzaghi and Farris during Inter’s push for an equaliser.
