Fiorentina centre back Martin Caceres has backed Uruguayan national team teammate Diego Godin to come good for Inter if given time.
Godin joined Inter on a three year deal this past Summer in a free transfer upon the expiration of his deal with Spanish giants Atletico Madrid, where he cemented himself as one of the world’s best defenders.
Hopes were high upon Godin’s arrival at the Nerazzurri but the highly experienced defender has very much struggled to perform to expectations and has struggled to adapt to Inter manager Antonio Conte’s 3-5-2 system.
As a result of his struggles, there has been no shortage of speculation in recent weeks which has suggested Godin could be headed for the exit door after just one season with Inter.
“Be careful about underestimating Godin. He is a leader and a top player, who, in the long run, will be able to assert himself,” Caceres remarked in an interview with Corriere dello Sport, which appeared in today’s print edition of the Rome based newspaper.
This season Godin has made 25 appearances across all competitions, in which he has tallied a single assist.
