Sky Sport Italia expert Gianluca Vialli shared his thoughts on Inter’s renaissance under Suning and Stefano Pioli.
“Inter have chosen a distinguished coach because the listened to the sporting part at the club who know the Serie A very well, something which never happened earlier under Thohir. Now Inter are playing well and the players are ready to go forward towards the team’s objectives. The most important choice Pioli has made is not regarding Medel as a midfielder but a defender. The coach like to use his playmaker further up the pitch, with two midfielders whose movement happens further up the pitch. I didn’t see Inter like this since the first months under Mancini, or even as far back as the days of Mourinho. Now the atmosphere is much more positive, and the choices much more definitive on the pitch.”
Finally, the former Juventus and Chelsea player gave his thought on Gagliardini stating: “When I saw that Pioli had decided to play him from the start I was a bit perplexed, I thought maybe it was a gamble and instead he gave a great performance with personality. I give him a 7+ rating. Pioli told him to keep things simple and it worked.”
