Yann Bisseck and Hakan Calhanoglu have come in for particular criticism after Inter Milan’s Serie A loss to Udinese yesterday.
Today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, brand the pair as “the worst of the lot” for the Nerazzurri in the 1-2 defeat.
Yesterday evening Inter Milan experienced an early and major setback in their Serie A season.
Whereas everything had gone right for the Nerazzurri in their win against Torino on opening day, there were few positives from the team’s performance yesterday.
From errors and sloppy play at the back to a lack of physicality in midfield, Inter looked hapless in the first half after they’d gone ahead in the first half.
Then in the second half, the Nerazzurri chased the game. There was no lack of intensity, but little in the way of precision from Inter’s attack.
Bisseck & Calhanoglu “Worst Of The Lot” For Inter Vs Udinese
In the view of the Corriere dello Sport, there were two players who were particularly culpable for Inter’s loss yesterday.
And ironically, it was two players who coach Cristian Chivu put into the starting eleven.
Defender Yann Bisseck took the place of Benjamin Pavard on the right of Inter’s back three.
However, the German looked out of sorts. His positioning and decision-making were consistently off as Inter struggled to defender Udinese counterattacks.
Then, the Corriere argue, midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu was also among Inter’s worst performers.
The Turkish international came straight into Inter’s starting eleven after being suspended for their opener against Torino.
However, Calhanoglu offered little in possession, as he couldn’t play the ball through Udinese’s packed, physical midfield.
I have to agree with Bob and Jayroos. Hakan wanted to leave so why keep a player that wants out. Hakan if he had any love and respect for Inter should have spoken to the front office and told them privately that he wanted out. So Inter could have found an offer at a fair price for both and not have Hakan tell clubs he wants out so Inter will get a low offer now that clubs know he wants out. I appreciate what he has done for the club but u never keep people or players in a “relationship” that they dont wanna be in anymore. I truly beleive Lautaro was right if u want to leave then leave but let the club know before you start talking to other clubs. So a fair deal can be made. As for Bisseck he should have been out there, the back 3 from game one played very well and i believe that if it aint broke dont fix it. I mean as in regards to the flow and how the back 3 understand eachother. I mean you can always upgrade but Im still not sold on Bisseck yet. He cost Inter a few games last year and hes still making the same mistakes. Coach shouldn’t have messed with the lineup.
exactly, he had to be sold this summer, there was some interest as I recall, from Turkish clubs, but we set the price too high. I think that for some 15 mill he could have been sold, and that a proper replacement could have been found (Lookman?), but instead, he has remained with us, out of shape, demotivated and demoralized and we will never ever get anything near 17 mill for him.
this guy should’ve been sold long time when he wanted to leave smh and how do you expect him to give his all when he already said he wants to go home
