Nicola Zalewski had an attacking impact for Inter Milan against AC Milan, but Yann Bisseck struggled in defense.

This is the view in today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi decided to turn to his bench against Milan yesterday.

The Nerazzurri coach was proactive in the second half, accordingly. He decided to make changes to shift the momentum not long after Milan took the lead.

And as he often does, Inzaghi looked to change things up on the flanks. January signing Nicola Zalewski took the place of Carlos Augusto at left-wingback.

In the view of the Gazzetta, Nicola Zalewski was exactly what Inter needed in the wide areas.

Therefore, the 23-year-old Polish international gave Inter a boost of energy and pace on the left flank.

Brazilian international Carlos Augusto had not really been getting Inter on the front foot in attack.

However, as soon as Zalewski entered the pitch he gave Inter a different dimension.

The Pole was proactive and direct in attacking the space. He frequently made an impact around the Rossoneri penalty area.

And Zalewski even came close to scoring. He forced an excellent save out of Milan keeper Mike Maignana.

Meanwhile, one player who comes in for criticism from the Corriere dello Sport is defender Yann Bisseck.

The German had a tough assignment. He was marking Rossoneri winger Rafael Leao. And this was something he struggled with.

Moreover, it was Bisseck who lost Milan striker Tammy Abraham’s run in the box as the Englishman scored Milan’s opening goal.
