Inter came away with all 3 points in their outing at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi in Verona after having beaten Chievo 0-1 following Mauro Icardi’s first goal of the season. Mancini’s men have now won 4 wins in a row and maintain their 100% record this season. Below you can see the SempreInter.com’s player ratings of Inter’s players from the lunch match in Verona.
Samir Handanovic – 6: Showed safe hands & commanded his area as we’ve grown used to. Great control of the air & is looking like he’s enjoying his football.
Davide Santon – 6,5: Continues to be reliable & solid in defense whilst always offering an alternative on the right when going forward.
Gary Medel – 7: A beast or pitbull if you will in the central of defense today. Makes mistakes but recovers immediately. Miranda & Medel together against Hellas?
Jeison Murillo – 6: Solid, strong, reads the game well & unbeatable in the air. Injured in the 70th minute & was brought off. Hopefully nothing serious.
Alex Telles – 6: Good debut by the Brazilian. Looks & plays like a natural full-back both in defense as well as in attack. Needs to improve his crossing.
Felipe Melo – 7: This was a match that suited him & so naturally he dominated. Balances technique & physique in a brilliant way. Great start so far.
Geoffrey Kondogbia – 6,5: Possesses everything you need to become a complete midfielder: strength, technique, pace, physique, intelligence. What a signing.
Fredy Guarin – 5,5: Didn’t have a good game at all but what he lacks in quality, he makes up for by working his socks off as well as showing great attitude.
Ivan Perisic – 6: Is working his way into Inter & Italian football. Showed glimpses of his lightning pace but showed today that he’s a team player first and foremost.
Stevan Jovetic – 6: Every action he takes on the pitch oozes of class. Also showed great attitude in helping out in defense & winning the ball back.
Mauro Icardi – 6,5: The assassin strikes like a cobra as half a chance is all he needs. Looking better & better but does seem a bit inhibet by injuries.
Andrea Ranocchia – 6: Came on in the 70th minute for the injured Murillo & was solid. Decent positioning & somewhat ok passing.
Rodrigo Palacio – 6: Was brought on in the 75th minute for an exhausted Jovetic & showed why he’s such an important player to have in the team.
Marcelo Brozovic – : Substituted on in the 85th minute for Kondogbia. Didn’t play long enough to be graded.
Roberto Mancini – 7: Got the tactics spot on today against a Rolando Maran that has got Chievo playign really good football. Good coaching throughout.
Inter – 6: Solid performance by the league leaders after securing the teams 4th win in 4 games. Defense looks good, attack must improve.
Paolo Tagliavento – 6,5: Was consistent for once & allowed a physical game. Some challenges from both teams might have warranted a card but no scandals.
