Inter Milan defender Matteo Darmian put in an impressive performance in last night’s defeat at Bodo/Glimt.
According to Corriere dello Sport, as reported by L’Interista, the 36-year-old offered ‘dynamism’ on the right wing.
Cristian Chivu gave the Italian veteran his first start of the season at the expense of the resurgent Luis Henrique.
Despite lacking competitive form, Matteo Darmian refused to let his manager down, delivering a reassuring performance.
Furthermore, he came agonizingly close to scoring in the first half, but his half-volley hit the near post.

Corriere’s rave report wasn’t the only positive assessment of Darmian’s outing.
Indeed, Tuttomercatoweb also praised the defender, highlighting his work rate and reliability despite Inter’s disappointing result.
Moreover, TWM took stock of Darmian’s lengthy absence, hailing his immediate impact upon his long-awaited return to action.
Unfazed by a significant layoff, Darmian’s forward runs created all sorts of problems for Bodo/Glimt’s defense.
Therefore, Chivu can be proud of the veteran’s showing in the Arctic Circle.
Much better on offence than LH.
He was positive going forward but he was caught not tracking back as well. Big spaces behind him
If he had scored that goal, than maybe we can say that was good performance. This way, not counting substitutes, he was maybe 6th or 7th best player on our side of the pitch. Don’t see how is that impressive performance.
