Defender Yann Bisseck has received criticism for showing a lack of composure as a substitute in Inter Milan’s Serie A clash with Udinese.

Today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, argue that the German looked out of sorts in his penalty area in the second half.

Defender Yann Bisseck came on as a substitute for Inter Milan in the second half of yesterday’s match against Udinese.

The German replaced Federico Dimarco. This meant that Carlos Augusto moved to left-wingback, and Bisseck replaced him in the back three.

The change seemed to signal that Inter coach Simone Inzaghi wanted to add more height and physicality to the backline.

In truth, Yann Bisseck did not really add much defensively for Inter.

The 24-year-old may be a more natural centre-back than Carlos Augusto. However, he was not really able to use his height to his advantage.

This was particularly the case on a headed chance for Udinese striker Lorenzo Lucca.

Bisseck did not spot the darting run of the towering Friulani centre-forward.

This left Lucca in acres of space to try and head the ball towards the Inter goal.

A spectacular Yann Sommer save kept the ball out of the net. But had Sommer not kept it out, it would have been a very disappointing moment for Bisseck.
