Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu proved that he can be a perfect deep-lying playmaker in yesterday afternoon’s Serie A win over Salernitana.
This is the view across the player ratings for the match, as highlighted by L’Interista.
Calhanoglu filled in for the injured Marcelo Brozovic against Salernitana, and it looks to be a role that the Turk is really growing into.
The 28-year-old is not quite the same kind of player as Brozovic, but he had a real creative spark in the role, as he was the team’s creative engine from deep.
There have even been suggestions that Brozovic could have a harder time than he’d ever expected breaking back into the team as the regista after the playmaking qualities that Calhanoglu demonstrated from the role.
The Gazzetta dello Sport, TuttoMercatoWeb, and L’Interista all awarded Calhanoglu a score of 7/10 for his performance.
Meanwhile, Tuttosport and the Corriere dello Sport all went up to 7.5/10.
