Three important changes in Inter Milan’s warm-up match: The two new players have mixed feelings and the backbone shows their signature skills

In Bari, Inter Milan defeated Olympiacos 2-0 and won a complete victory in four warm-up matches in just the summer training period (the battle with Monza was tied 2-2 and won the penalty shootout, which was also officially considered a victory).

Due to the water accumulation in the field and the players slipped frequently, the fluency of the game was affected to a certain extent - especially in the first half.

The Blue and Black Army has gained something.

For example, most players have improved their physical condition after weeks of devil training (although Dimarco was replaced in this game, the first time to check after the game was just a bruise, and there was no big problem).

For example, there is finally one game that can win the opponent in four warm-up games. Although the set-piece defense has been grabbed by someone several times and needs to be improved, not conceding the ball will always help strengthen confidence.

For example, as the Serie A starts, the physical condition of important players such as Touram, Barrera, and Dumfries has significantly improved, which is all good things.

There are three players worth paying attention to: Sucic, Luis Enrique, and Bastoni.

First, Sucic first played in this game with three midfielders in the center, and then changed to the right. The game proved that it was more appropriate for him to play as a sideline and center forward.

Due to the poor physical condition of Calhanoglu, Inter Milan let Sucic serve as the "drag midfielder" in the first half - considering that Calhan has been in constant conditions in the past year and there are many things on and off the court, it is indeed necessary for Inter Milan to prepare for any event.

Sucic is very hardworking personally, and his characteristics of large coverage and active diligence are also demonstrated. He also made military achievements - Dimarco's goal was Sucic's sharp pass to tear open the opponent's defense line.

However, three questions plagued his role.

First of all, as a center midfielder, he is often interfered by his opponents, and Sucic is not always able to deal with it easily.

Furthermore, Sucic sometimes has a "stutter" problem when making a goal. This is a new player - especially a new player in the midfield, and he can only use time to gradually improve and cannot be rushed.

In addition, as a drag-back midfielder, "not making mistakes" is much more important than "always being good", and Sucic made several mistakes in the first half, which made Inter Milan worried.

In the second half, Zivo made adjustments, Barrela changed to the middle, and Sucic played on the right for more than ten minutes. During this period, he was obviously more comfortable. Therefore, reporters from Milan Sports Daily and Sky TV pointed out: "It is more appropriate for Sucic to play Mezzala."

Furthermore, after Dimarco was replaced preventively, Enrique changed to play on the left wingback. After Zalevsky appeared in the 81st minute, Enrique returned to the right. Playing in two different positions, the Brazilian performed well overall.

In the 62-minute game time, Enrique's success rate in the confrontation and success rate in the past were 100%, with only 6 mistakes. There were some highlights in the areas of assisting defense, filling up, clearing, and protecting the second landing point when defending the set ball.

Some regrets that Enrique only tried one breakthrough dribbling, and there was still a gap between Zivo's requirements. After the game, Zivo made it clear that Inter Milan still needs to play "more aggressive and deep breakthroughs". In this regard, it is obvious that Enrique has the most potential to tap.

As mentioned earlier, before joining Serie A, Enrique mainly played as a full-back and winger. In the early stages of joining, he mainly focused on "making up for defense". It is not a bad thing for him to be able to perform like this in this regard.

As a new player, if he can participate in rotation on both sides and be able to "support" with defense without making mistakes, he is expected to accumulate playing time. As his understanding of the Inter Milan system continues to deepen, his role is expected to continue to improve.

Third, at Zivo's request, Bastoni no longer holds the ball and presses up as frequently as in Inzaghi's era (this is something Bass has confirmed recently), and uses his signature stunt - long passes to organize the offense, which is good.

In fact, Bass was able to quickly gain the position and gain a solid position in the Conte era, which initially relied on the extremely high accuracy of long passes. At that time, Inter Milan emphasized setting up a fence in the backcourt, and in the counterattack, Bass made a long pass by Lukaku, Ashraf or Barrera, which was excellent.

In the era of Inzaghi, the Belgian and Moroccan left the team, so the team changed their playing style and required Bass to keep the ball forward, otherwise the front line would not be able to push up.

By last season, Bass was ranked in the top two in the team's "dribbling distance list" and "propulsion distance list". But as one of the three central defenders, always dribbling the ball will pose hidden dangers to the defense, especially considering the characteristics of other players on the same side, the problem is unavoidable.

Bastoni in this battle significantly reduced the frequency of forward insertion.

The effect is reflected in three aspects: First, in terms of long passes, Bass tried long passes 8 times in this battle, and 6 times accurate, helping Inter Milan make a powerful long pass counterattack several times.

Furthermore, in terms of defense, Bastoni played 72 minutes of the game, won all four times in the top wins, had 3 clearances, 1 blocked the opponent's goal, and 1 tackle. It was not surprising that he won the highest score in the game on the data website after the game.

Third, Bass reduces the frequency of forward insertion, but does not completely stop forward insertion. On the contrary, because the number of pre-insertions has decreased, the physical fitness is no longer tight, and the tactics have suddenly become more powerful, so although the number of times has decreased, the power has been improved - Paval's golden opportunity was made by Bass.

In summary, Inter Milan won 2-0 and some of his attempts were mixed.

Sucic's attempt to serve as a drag-back midfielder was limited, but Enrique's "transfer" and Bastoni's "less crossing the line" were still quite effective. After this battle, Inter Milan, which has been arduous for three weeks of training, will have two days to rest. The league is about to begin and the team is ready to go.
