Inter Milan wingback Luis Henrique explained one key difference between the Nerazzurri and Arsenal after tonight’s 3-1 home defeat.
Speaking to Inter TV via FCInterNews, the Brazilian star admitted that the Italian giants were not clinical in the front third.
With Denzel Dumfries on the sidelines, Cristian Chivu handed Henrique another Champions League start.
Though the former Marseille star fared reasonably well against Leandro Trossard, his attacking contribution was minimal once again.
Meanwhile, Petar Sucic seized his opportunity to shine on the biggest stage, scoring a superb goal early in the first half.
However, it wasn’t enough to prevent Inter’s third consecutive defeat at Europe’s top table.
Luis Henrique Assess Inter Milan Performance in 1-3 Arsenal Loss
“I think we played a great match,” Henrique said. “Arsenal are a strong team.
“They may have shown more ruthlessness than us in the box, and that’s what we lacked.
“We weren’t able to impose our tempo or score.”
Asked whether he feels more confident playing in a wider role, he replied: “Yes, I feel more confident there, and I’m improving with every game.
“I feel good physically. The more I play, the better it is for me.
“If we have to go through the playoffs, so be it – the important thing is to play and perform well.”
Chivu’s men are now at risk of dropping out of the top eight.
Furthermore, they’ll face Borussia Dortmund in another mouth-watering Champions League fixture on the final matchday.
Anything other than a win at Signal Iduna Park would probably send the Nerazzurri into the knockout playoffs.
what is the use of the academy and the u23 whereby there are RWB over there who are ready to be given the chance so why Inter why can’t we just use any of them smh you’ll have problem at home to handle only for you to see your beloved team also making your worse
Mistake on first goal, did nothing all game, cant cross or dribble past anyone, can only pass by default backwards bar one pass to Pio, why did we spend 25+ on this guy? Diouf is no world beater but at least he plays forwards and tries to take on his man. Chivu is completely lost if he cant see this, we’re effectively playing with 10 men with Henrique. This is sadly for me another Correa/Dalbert/Lazaro after watching these 7 or 8 games in a row.
This guy is useless
Anyone can see this other than Chivu himself Darmian had more productivity than him for the amount of chances he has got.
Darmian is definitely better. henrique is weak on both defense and offense.
