Italian media offered mixed assessments of Yann Bisseck following Inter Milan’s narrow 1-0 victory away to Udinese, with particular focus on his unusually advanced positioning under Cristian Chivu.
The German defender operated far higher up the pitch than usual, often stepping into midfield and even attacking zones as Inter dominated possession in the first half.
However, not all outlets were convinced by the tactical experiment, as noted by L’Interista.
Corriere dello Sport highlighted a risky moment that summed up their reservations: “He spends the first half in the attacking third. Reckless is the back-heel that triggers a dangerous Udinese counter-attack.”
While the paper still awarded Bisseck a pass mark, it underlined how that single decision could have shifted the momentum of a tightly contested match.

Tuttosport, by contrast, took a more forgiving view of the same approach.
“With no real danger to deal with, he enjoys forward forays that open up Udinese’s defensive lines,” the Turin-based daily noted, framing Bisseck’s incursions as a logical by-product of Inter’s territorial control rather than a defensive gamble.
The divergence in ratings reflects a broader debate around Bisseck’s role in Chivu’s system.
His physicality and confidence allow Inter to overload central areas, but moments of over-ambition can expose space in transition, particularly in matches decided by fine margins.
Ultimately, Inter kept a clean sheet and secured three points, limiting the consequences of those risks.
However, the discussion around Bisseck’s positioning suggests that his evolution under Chivu remains a work in progress rather than a finished solution.

Nah..sandro is a god. My personal view. Anyone remember when he canceled icardi while at loan in parma? Ibra when we played mulan? Bale at the 21 euro?
He was still 22 at the latest. Anyone saying our 26 defender is old is obviously ragebaiting. And for all those i’ll say it again:
As its being reminded to both rube and mulan twice a year – inter have never relegated.
So. Do you want mustard with that?
Forza Inter
And sweet dreams to all the haters. In two months we’re running away with the title
7 champions league Milan has u bum lol
That elimination from the ch.l 3 years ago with the second star at the meazza still hurt? Try with lube next time.
On a side note – leave the forum. This place is for Inter fans. Or should i call Berardi 🙂
he is he best defender in Italy right now. Bastoni fell off. he is old. but about the counter attack triggering thing u italian idiots! none of u have noticed Nicolla Barrella has broken the record of miss passes and triggers for counterattack in the last YEAR AND HALF ? I guess u haven’t noticed that u fkn idiots !!! the dude has been playing like trash for over a YEAR butt yet u come out here to talk about Bisseck triggering counter attack lol! no wonder italian football sucks these days
Bastoni plays like if he was an old man! not that he is old because he ain’t.
I agree with Bisseck, he will be world class soon, but calm your tits, are you a bilan fan?
