After the Champions League, now Inter is back into the routine of the championship looking for maximum points at the Ferraris against Sampdoria.
Spalletti will look for those solutions able to kickstart the team, starting from a more fully fit Nainggolan and an Icardi more involved in the build up play. The Gazzetta dello Sport also emphasizes the importance of the Belgian and the Argentinian for the Nerazzurri.
Beyond the addition of Nainggolan who can open spaces, a key factor in the game and of utmost importance are the wings, the first source of balls for the Argentine, the Gazzetta reports. Here too the wingers can and must give more, because the widening of the game is a variable that has been rarely used to effect so far.
Perisic when in form is an absolutely world class player: the Croatian started well, and even scored, but now he seems a bit tired, certainly because of the efforts in the World Cup over the summer. Politano has yet to fully adapt to the jump from Sassuolo and is working in small flashes: the movements from the right to the centre, for a left-footer like him, can really cause trouble as seen in the first part of the match against Torino.Keita has played mostly out of position so far and his trademark, that is speed and dribbling, is still not quite shone through: when he too regains full fitness and adapts to the team, Spalletti will have a very important joker in all areas of the attack.
In midfield, the key man remains Brozovic, but the match against Tottenham has also re-launched Borja Valero and also pay attention to Lautaro: “The Argentine has had little luck so far after his debut as a starter with Sassuolo behind Icardi, his physical recovery gives Inter a surplus of obvious quality: Lautaro can hold up the ball well and has the quality to be decisive, especially as seen in the pre-season alongside Icardi. With the two Argentinians fully fit, Spalletti’s mission will be much easier.”
