Italian Journalist Biasin: “Eriksen’s Failure At Inter Is His Fault As Well As Those Who Haven’t Been Able To Use Him”

Noted Italian football journalist and known Inter fan Fabrizio Biasin has shared his belief that Christian Eriksen’s failures at Inter are not solely down to him.

“Inter won against Torino. For an hour they struggled hard, but they won. Many of the Inter fans have taken it badly, in reality there are multiple points of view,” he began his latest column for Italian news outlet TuttoMercatoWeb.

The first point Biasin raised was the fact that Inter’s comeback is in fact proof of the enormous potential that the squad boasts.

“If you play very badly for an hour but when you activate the machine you disintegrate your opponent, then it means that your potential is enormous (and, of course, that your opponents have shut down). This, you will agree, is good news in perspective.”

The second point he went on to raise was that it is not a good thing to allow opponents to control a match for an hour of it, especially if you want to win something, like Inter do.

“If you give an hour to your opponents – between low intensity and very little application – you have to put yourself in the perspective that it will not always suit you, especially if your goal is to “win something” and this is not good news.”

Next he addressed Inter’s inability to change their gameplan and lack of a different plan than plan A.

“If your coach after the game is pissed off, or sad, or happy, or absent, or present, or none of the above, you must be interested in what is right, almost nothing. Now it seems to have become indispensable to the Lombrosian post-match analysis of the Inter coach, while we should care only about what happens on the field.

“Inter have enormous potential but also a flaw, they never change their gameplan. This is the only thing we really feel like reproaching Conte for. With that material it would be interesting to see something different from “plan A” (3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2), if the game requires it but no, at the moment there is only that, plan A. And this is not good news.”

Biasin then went on to speak about Christian Eriksen’s failure at Inter since his arrival at the club in the most recent January transfer window in a circa €20 million deal from Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.

“Giving up Eriksen is a shame, but not because Inter cannot exist without the Dane (after all, they never existed), if anything because we would have expected something more from a manager as good as Conte.

“The failure of such a strong player is the failure of the player himself, of course, but also of those who have not been able to exploit him and this cannot be good news neither for the coach nor for the player or especially for Inter.”

Biasin concluded by stating his belief that Inter cannot afford for things to go wrong and what tomorrow night’s result will mean for what is said about Inter manager Antonio Conte.

“Everything written here can change because tomorrow Inter play Real Madrid and based on the result we will say that Antonio Conte is a genius followed by ‘told you so’ or an infamous ‘I told you so.’

“It always goes like this. What is certain is that the Nerazzurri cannot be wrong and this is neither good nor bad news. It’s just a fact.”
