Finally we will see Keita Baldé . The probable start for the Senegalese from the beginning in Ferrara is one of the main talking points ahead of tonight’s match. Having had to step in for Icardi, this did not help Keita settle as a Nerazzurro – explains Gazzetta dello Sport – The Senegalese, who arrived on loan with an option to buy from Monaco in a total operation of €39 million, is able to play in all positions of the attack:
Spalletti fell in love with him in the famous Rome derby of 30 April 2017 in which from centre-forward Keita pulverized the defence of Rome, but at Inter despite his inability to make his mark against Bologna he did not lose heart, although he wasted a couple of important chances and his stock seemed to drop further against Parma where he did not get anything right, he seemed very slow and at half time he made way for the Captain Icardi.
Then, for the rest, just a few moments at the end of games but also an argument with Spalletti after the victory with Fiorentina for some movements that were not liked too much by the coach. That’s why playing on the left wing tonight against SPAL could be the right medicine to give life to his numbers (so far only six shots for him, one on target): Keita will work with Nainggolan and Candreva who is likely to start ahead of Perisic and it will be an important role behind Maurito.
