Andy Diouf is beginning to find his rhythm at Inter Milan after a challenging introduction to life in Serie A.
The French midfielder has made the most of the chances recently handed to him by coach Cristian Chivu, as noted by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
He found the net against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
And then again versus Torino in the Coppa Italia, offering a glimpse of his attacking potential from midfield.
Diouf Settles At Inter Under Chivu After Difficult Start
Diouf has scored three goals in 14 appearances this season, averaging one every 115 minutes.
Those numbers highlight his growing efficiency and underline the progress he has made since arriving from Lens.
Off the pitch, he has also settled into life in Milan. Diouf lives in the city centre and regularly welcomes visits from his parents, a stability that appears to be helping his adaptation.
Chivu has repeatedly shown faith in the youngster, even during spells when minutes were limited or when he might have expected only brief cameos.
He struggled in his first few games but the Romanian coach has underlined his belief in the Frenchman.
That backing has paid off, with Diouf responding through improved performances and a visible rise in confidence.
At Inter, there is now a sense that the early adjustment period is behind him. With trust from his coach and growing self-belief, Diouf looks ready to play a more consistent role in the months ahead.
he is not improving !!!! he was always good enough but that dumb coach was only having that trash barrella and Mikhatrian play all the time even though they have been playing like trash for a year and half (whn it comes to ‘mis-pass’ barrella) …. and mikhaterin (who has basically stopped playing pro football about 3 years ago) !!!! but inter Milan love playing old people doesn’t matter how bad they perform. once the midfield started to get injuries then he gave Diof the chane and was like ”wow ! he is god, talented and young” !! gimme a break
dude doesn’t learn from frattesi. he was superior in national team and great super sub, but do you see what he’s capable of when he starts the match? look unless you’re different like pio, you have to give everything to earn the playing time. those names you mention gave us trophies and some oldies still have decent consecutive performances than all “talented” youngsters. even dimash didn’t come right away as regular starter that he needed to carve his name.
I remind you that you’re supporting big club and the fans want the club to win something every year, unlike como, torino, bologna and other one season wonders, of course, inter is attracted to experienced players. so either he’s improving or becoming surplus to the club
