Dumfries and adapting to the three-man defense, Biasin reveals a behind-the-scenes story

Denzel Dumfries had to overcome several difficulties in his journey to adapt to Italian football. This was revealed by Fabrizio Biasin, who shared a behind-the-scenes story that emerged during an interview with the Nerazzurri winger a few months ago.

During his live appearance for Cronache di Spogliatoio, the journalist revealed some details about the Dutchman’s journey. Used to playing in a four-man defense, the winger struggled quite a bit at first to adapt to the new tactical system.

According to Biasin, Dumfries confessed that Inter assigned him Mario Cecchi, a figure who accompanied his growth process. “He told me that they put Mario Cecchi on him and he annoyed him so much that in the end he learned how to play both offensively and defensively. But it took him a while,” the journalist said, quoting the player’s words.

An anecdote that testifies to the work done behind the scenes to allow the player to complete his integration into the Nerazzurri’s playing system.
