Christian Eriksen is finally performing like his true self at Inter, as explained by a report in the Italian media today.
Eriksen joined Inter in January 2020 and had a difficult first year with the club, but in recent weeks he has completely turned things around for himself under Antonio Conte.
As per Gazzetta dello Sport’s print edition, the Dane has now carved out the role in the side that he hoped to have when he joined, definitively overtaking Arturo Vidal in the Nerazzurri’s midfield hierarchy.
The match-winning free kick goal versus AC Milan in the Coppa Italia quarter-final was the spark for the Denmark international’s turnaround, according to this report.
The real version of Eriksen has been seen due to his adaption to work-rate and also in his private life in Milan, with his family now living close by.
The 29-year-old has also understood Conte’s instructions better now, because he always does the right thing on the pitch both in and out of possession.
Eriksen has given Inter greater unpredictability in midfield, the Milan-based paper explained, providing an alternative to Marcelo Brozovic to start the team’s build-up play.
The change in fortunes since January has been remarkable, with Eriksen seeming all but certain to leave the club two months ago.
However, as per a report this afternoon, Conte could be forced do without Eriksen for Sunday’s match at Torino with the Dane suffering from a slight knee problem.
