Joao Mario and Milan Skriniar will return to Appiano Gentile today after international duty Sky Sport report. Miranda, who returned early from international duty with Brazil due to a head injury, will undergo further tests to see if his condition has improved.

Skriniar played as a DM against England, and they only lost by 1 goal in Wembley. There are only a handful of DMs that are able to play CB and DM. Sergio Ramos, David Luis, and Javier Mascherano to name a few. Gary Medel was more a DM playing CB. Skriniar needs to work on his pace and stamina, and we will have another worldclass player along with Icardi, Perisic, Handanovic, and Miranda.
he played a monster game last night!
showed excellent pace and awareness to track back and dis-posses kane rashford and co.
isnt creative enough for a dm berth, but what a defender! best piece of business inter did since icardi? i think so!
medel was a CB playing DM. he had no vision, no passing or dribbling ability. always ruined our attacking game. still mazzarri, mancini and de boer chose to put him in the middle of the park. only pioli had the brains to put him where he belonged. great defender, very bad midfielder.
Medel doesn’t have the physique nor vision for a CB role. He was short with no high jumps to make for it (unlike Cordoba) and no vision to intercept or cut passes. He is a physical midfielder with high stamina. If he was playing 10-15 years ago he would have been much more useful (Makelele style midfielder rather than box-to-box)
he was brilliant as CB for chile when they won back2back copa americas. there are a lot of short strikers out there he defeated in the air thanks to explosive jumps and positioning, while the second CB alongside him marked the players with more height. there is no place for an unskilled DM in todays football. a midfielder needs much more vision than a CB.
Chile playing 3-man defence, that’s why medel suits there where he can leave aerial battle to the other two CB’s
Agree!
true, but also played in 2-man defence several times
dont jinx him man we were praising murillo his first season too 🙁
