Inter has a fairly average period. The defeats with Fiorentina or Juventus and a draw with AC Milan meant that the advantage in the league table above SSC Napoli clearly melted. Simone Inzaghi players reflected in matches with Genoa (1: 0) and Lazio. During the latter, unusual scenes occurred, because the team played in an experimental setting.
Revolution in the composition of Inter. All because of Nicola Zalewski
A few days ago, information arose that the sensation after going to Inter Nicola Zalewski suffered a plantar muscle injury in his right leg and will probably pause until mid -March. For this reason, he left Tuesday's cup match with Lazio. As it turned out, the Pole's injury, as well as the health problems of Carlos Augusto and Matteo Darmian meant that coach Simone Inzaghi decided to “temporarily change tactics”.
The daily “Corriere della Sera” points out that in the meeting with Lazio Inter, he unexpectedly played “four -person defense”. Namely, the players were set in the system 1-4-4-2 with Denzel Dumfries and Piotr Zieliński on the wings, while on the sides of the defense they played Benjamin Pavard and the one who entered the pitch from the bench, Alessandro Bastoni. Originally, it seemed that this is improvisation due to the large number of absent, but journalists claim that in subsequent matches we will also have the opportunity to see such a game system.
However, it will be difficult to notice this change, because Inter is currently lacking a winger who could dribble and win duels. He would be the opposite of Dumfries, which is based on strength and speed.
Such could of course be Zalewski, who has often proved that he can create an advantage in the side sectors of the pitch. The footballer who made the most dribbles this season is Marcus Thuram. This one has 19, which only places him in the 36th place in the Italian ranking
Inter after 26 queues is the leader of the table with 57 points. Above the second SSC Napoli has an advantage, while over the third Atalanta – three points. The next match Simone Inzaghi players will play on Saturday, March 1, when he will face Napoli away.
