Davide Frattesi could make a shock start out of position in attack for Inter Milan against Barcelona on Wednesday.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews.
Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi could have a tough decision to make in attack on Wednesday.
Nerazzurri striker Marcus Thuram will reportedly return to fitness for the Champions League semifinal first leg. However, there remain significant doubts about the Frenchman’s readiness to start.
Therefore, Thuram may only be available off the bench for the Champions League clash.
In that case, it would be somewhat slim pickings for Inzaghi apart from Inter captain Lautaro Martinez.
Davide Frattesi Could Start In Attack In Barcelona Vs Inter Milan Clash
Marko Arnautovic played all ninety minutes for Inter Milan in yesterday’s loss to Roma.
However, the Austrian has had persistent physical issues in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, Mehdi Taremi has had injury struggles of his own. Moreover, the Iranian international has looked badly out of form in his last few appearances.
Furthermore, Joaquin Correa is not even a part of Inter’s Champions League squad.
Therefore, Inzaghi may decide to go with an unorthodox solution in attack, reports La Repubblica.
The Inter coach could play midfielder Davide Frattesi in the forward line.
The 25-year-old certainly knows where the goal is. He is Inter’s most prolific midfielder over the past couple seasons, excluding Hakan Calhanoglu’s penalty goals.
And Inzaghi could therefore utilize Frattesi in attack alongside Martinez against Barcelona.
I’ve been saying this since his first season, he is a natural goal scorer, he has more to offer than Taremi or Arna could in a counter situation, he could be what Conte did with McTomninay for Napoli, but Inzaghi just can’t maximise his player potential, Zielinski too didn’t get much of a chance, now he exhausted his first team near end of the season and these guys are very much couldn’t offer much with no playing time
thuram is d only solution because is d only player that can hold d ball, dribble and create chances so pls coach just start thuram
Arna and Taremi can’t run at behind their opponents while Frattessi have done it while playing in midfield then scoring many goals. Against Barcelona with him maybe he can trouble their defence
Indeed, we need to play with 5 midfielders against Barcelona, so we should put Frattesi as a second striker behind Lautaro. No Arnautovic and No Taremi, please!!! Forget the past 3 awful games and focus only on the future, guys!!! We still have a chance to win trophies!!! All depends on us!!! Inzaghi, please put Dimarco, Chala, Barella, Carboni, and Dumfries in the midfield behind Lautaro-Frattesi. Bastoni-Bisseck-Augusto can be dynamic in defense!!! We need to put fast and proactive defenders against Barca. We can demolish Barcelona!!! Forza Inter!!!
I REALLY HOPE MY DARLING TEAM WINS AS OUR THREE BACK-TO-BACK LOSSES GIVE ME A GREAT CONCERN. HONESTLY, THURAM IS ALWAYS ABSENT WHEN NEEDED. BARCELONA IS IN A GREAT SHAPE….FORZA INTER
this might actually be a blessing in disguise!! just like how brozos injury MADE chala!!
I mean, this might be a solution for Frattesi instead of letting him keep playing center mid and cant do anything he felt comfortable.
May God help inter to win this encounter. forza inter.
I always said that Frattese is more constable as a forward that midfielder he is more effective hope on Wednesday gives the right answers Forza Inter
