This season Eder has become Inter’s super-sub or. This according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, who states that the Italian international has just made nine appearances as a starter, 22 appearances in Serie A as a whole and has managed to score 4 goals. Altogether, including cups, he has notched up 6 goals and 5 assists. The former Sampdoria striker has a great rapport with Pioli, something that is witnessed by the impact on the matches he’s had each time he is subbed on. His mark in the league started at the beginning of 2017:
“In Udine, January 8, he was the fouled out of which the second goal came from Ivan Perisic. The following week, in minute 90 he striked against Chievo (3-1), then repeated it in the 3-0 win against Pescara, the match in which he entered at 26th minute of the second half. Against Empoli in the 14th minute, he scored a goal and made a magnificent assist for Candreva. Against Roma, in the 10 th minute of the second half there was a clear penalty on him which was missed by Tagliavento. Against Cagliari with only over a quarter of an hour left, the usual generosity by Eder is demonstrated where he slots the ball to Gagliardini allowing him to score his first goal with Inter.”
