In today’s print edition, Italian daily newsper Gazzetta dello Sport have sang the praises of Achraf Hakimi, Alexis Sanchez, Arturo Vidal and Radja Nainggolan for the impact they made off the bench on Saturday as Inter beat Fiorentina 4-3.
The Milan based news outlet have dubbed the quartet as ‘the destroyers’ after they came off the bench and helped Inter to victory in their season opener.
Hakimi could be granted his first Inter start against Benevento on Wednesday but may not be able to deliver the ball to Romelu Lukaku like he did for Inter’s third goal on Saturday as Lukaku sustained a knock and could be replaced by Sanchez.
As for Vidal, the newly acquired Chilean national team player seems to be ready to play the role that Inter manager Antonio Conte has envisioned for him and he will soon be a starter.
Nainggolan’s future with Inter is meanwhile not to be taken for granted. Cagliari want him on loan but Inter only want to let him go on a definitive basis.
The report also states that in training yesterday Antonio Conte addressed the squad, he praised them for the win over Fiorentina and made it clear to them that more than just character will be needed in order to win something.
