Luciano Spalletti has kept a very stable starting lineup, hardly stretching the squad at his disposal but from from now until end of the year, due to the two Tim Cup commitments, Inter’s coach may have to turn to those less used players who have so far remained on the sidelines.

This is the case for Dalbert, who so often has had to look on at his teammates winning from the bench. As Gazzetta Dello Sport reports, “The Brazilian cost more than 20 million, and is an important investment that Spalletti does not intend to burn, but it is necessary to change the Brazilian’s mentality. It is no coincidence that the full-back has played zero minutes in the last six Serie A matches.”

Spalletti spoke on the situation after the Atalanta game saying, “I hope Santon’s example gives the right incentives to all those who have so far played less. For example, now Dalbert will perhaps give us a greater commitment than what we have seen so far…”
