Veteran defender Matteo Darmian impressed in his first competitive start of the season, even though Inter Milan lost at Bodo/Glimt.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 36-year-old lived up to expectations at the Aspmyra Stadion.
Matteo Darmian has spent most of the season in the pits due to a nasty calf problem.
Indeed, the Italian star suffered an injury during Inter’s 3-0 home win over Slavia Prague in late September.
Furthermore, he had failed to register a single start under Cristian Chivu until last night.
Darmian Meets Expectations in Bodo/Glimt 3-1 Inter Milan Loss
Despite a lack of competitive form, Darmian delivered an impressive performance.
Moreover, he almost got on the scoresheet in the first half, but his thunderous half-volley rattled off the near post.
In stark contrast, Henrikh Mkhitaryan struggled to make an impact, failing to influence Inter’s attacking play.
With Hakan Calhanoglu on the sidelines, Chivu trusted the 37-year-old to orchestrate the play in the middle of the park.
However, nothing went the Armenian’s way last night.
Darmian looks good because the regular guy that plays there Henrique is just so so bad yet he keeps playing. Henrique crosses are so weak and not direct.
Mikhi never meets the standard, he’s a shadow of his former self and always gives the ball away in terrible areas
He should not be starting games unless there are injuries he’s covering for.
And he should be out the door end of season
Youngster Darmian meet ur standard? Lol
did u watch how Hakimi, Dumfries, or Cancelo play?
