Pedula: Luis Enrique still needs to adapt, Inter Milan is not in a hurry to bring in Dumfries as a substitute

Reporter Pedula reported on November 22 that he denied the news that Inter Milan was eager to find a substitute for Dumfries.

Dumfries will miss the Derby due to injury, and Chivu plans to start Carlos Augusto as the right wing-back. This appears to be yet another no-no for Luis Enrique, with the Brazilian winger yet to meet the manager's demands for a wing-back.

However, the reporter pointed out that the current discussion on Inter Milan's transfer strategy is somewhat over-interpreted, as if the team urgently needs to find a substitute for Dumfries. In fact, Inter Milan is not currently conducting relevant operations.

Luis Enrique does face adaptation problems. His transfer fee reached 25 million euros. He joined before the Club World Cup and had a chance to integrate into the team-the problem is not the quality of the players but the technical characteristics. Dumfries has certain tactical qualities that allow him to perfectly balance both attack and defense.

Luis Enrique is more offensive-oriented. Like all Brazilian players with similar talents, he is more suitable for the winger position in the 4-3-3 system, rather than a wing-back who needs to maintain a balance of offense and defense. Perhaps the situation will be clearer in twenty days.

Why choose Carlos Augusto instead of Luis Enrique? Because the former can provide protection on both offense and defense. Although he is also from Brazil, he has significantly improved his defensive capabilities through experience accumulation.

There is no need to over-interpret Luis Enrique's situation at the moment, nor should it be labeled as "an urgent need for a Dumfries substitute". A more accurate statement is "it needs to be observed how long Luis Enrique's adaptation period takes". The same is true for Andy Diouf. However, Inter Milan can wait patiently for the latter, because their midfield configuration is sufficient, and the right wing is currently only responsible for Carlos Augusto. New variables may emerge in the next month, and we will discuss them at that time.

Including the Club World Cup, Dumfries has contributed 3 goals in 17 games for Inter Milan this season, Augusto has 1 goal and 2 assists in 17 games, and Luis Enrique has 0 goals and 0 assists in 11 games.
