Inter striker Edin Dzeko was the one player who did not put in a particularly good display in the team’s 3-1 Serie A win over Cagliari yesterday evening, in the view of Italian media.
The Bosnian received just a 5.5/10 score for his performance in the player ratings for the match in today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, who argue that he was adequate but largely not involved.
Dzeko did not manage to get on the ball much during his time on the pitch, as his energy levels appeared to be sagging and he struggled to get into position to receive the ball ahead of Cagliari defenders.
The 36-year-old also did not offer the kind of defensive effort that he has at times throughout the season where he has often looked effective at applying pressure on the opposition’s buildup, and his display suggested that he is feeling the effects of a long season.
