Italian Journalist Calls For Rational Expectations Amid Inter Milan Purple Patch: “Can’t Always Be 6-0” | OneFootball

Italian journalist Riccardo Trevisani has urged Inter Milan fans not to exaggerate their expectations after a 2-0 win against Como.

During the latest Fontana di Trevi episode via FCInterNews, Trevisani took stock of Inter’s showing against the Lariani.

In addition, he discussed Simone Inzaghi’s tactical choices.

Known for constant squad rotations, Inzaghi has made the utmost effort to maximize every player’s potential.

However, stiff competition for places at Giuseppe Meazza sometimes makes that impossible.

Indeed, elite stars like Piotr Zielinski and Davide Frattesi have had to settle for playing second fiddle.

“To play Frattesi, you have to take out Barella or Mkhitaryan, and Zielinski’s technical completeness brings some challenges.

“When one is missing, Frattesi has the runs, while Zielinski plays the ball.

“It’s nice to have options, but then you ask, ‘Why not play someone who scores a goal every game as a midfielder?’ The choices are complicated.

“Carlos Augusto, Bisseck, and I always mention Thuram, who had flashes of consistency.

“On a day when Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dumfries, and Dimarco were all around 5.5 and didn’t play well.

“Usually, these players help you play well. You won 2-0 because the defense played a great game.

“Thuram played poorly for the first 75 minutes of Lazio-Inter, but in two years, I’ve seen him have a bad game maybe five times.”

Riccardo Trevisani Offers His Opinion on Inter Milan Win vs Como

Despite failing to live up to their high standard, Inter claimed a 2-0 triumph against Como earlier this week.

Carlos Augusto and Marcus Thuram scored an unanswered second-half double to seal Inter’s fourth straight league win.

“Not every match can be like Lazio-Inter 0-6. At the beginning of the year, Inter wouldn’t have won this game,” Trevisani added.

“They didn’t have the mentality to win it. Como played a tough, serious match, different from the usual.

“With great intensity, playing a three-man defense.

“Inter struggled. But it’s a struggle on a day when Fiorentina lost, Juventus won playing poorly, and Atalanta and Napoli all had tough games.

“Inter, despite its struggles, won 2-0, risked a couple of times, and can be very satisfied.”
