Italian journalist Paolo Condò discussed Antonio Conte’s Inter squad and the inclusion of Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen in the tactical system in an interview with Italian broadcaster Sky Sports Italia earlier today.

“Brozovic will be missing for a short time, his recovery is crucial. There’s big news, Conte sent a message saying he didn’t have time to include Eriksen. Then that happened, and Conte worked for Eriksen and on Eriksen.”

Condò then highlighted how Eriksen may be an important player for the former Chelsea and Juventus coach.

“Now he’s insisting on the trequartista role because Eriksen is worth it. In addition to being a great trequartista, he can become a third goal scorer that Inter lacks. Lukaku, Lautaro, and then there’s a hole and he can fill it.”

Eriksen joined the Nerazzurri in the January transfer window from Tottenham in a deal worth €20 million. Since his arrival, the player has struggled to make an impact in Milan, disappointing many. However, he has been hard at work learning the tactical system of coach Antonio Conte in the Coronavirus stop, with the hard work seemingly paying off.

Eriksen impressed against Napoli in the Coppa Italia semi-finals last weekend, scoring a goal directly from a corner and being a constant threat behind the striking partnership of Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez. The Dane continued his strong performances by playing well against Sampdoria earlier tonight, providing the assist for Lukaku.
