Italy Star Makes Blunder After Blunder In AC Milan 1-1 Inter Milan Coppa Italia Derby Clash | OneFootball

Midfielder Davide Frattesi blundered his way through yesterday’s Coppa Italia semifinal first leg between AC Milan and Inter Milan.

As TuttoMercatoWeb highlight, the player ratings for the match across Italian media have been unsparing.

Davide Frattesi got the nod in the Inter Milan starting eleven yesterday.

The former Sassuolo midfielder was starting his second match in a row for the Nerazzurri. He had also started against Udinese over the weekend.

However, Frattesi was unable to follow up on the positive performance he put in against the Friulani.

Far from it, in fact. In the view of Italian media, the Italian international was Inter’s worst performer in the Coppa Italia semifinal first leg against the Rossoneri.

From the opening whistle, Davide Frattesi was struggling yesterday.

The 25-year-old lost the ball on several occasions in the opening minutes.

Frattesi was not able to get the better of his challenges with the AC Milan midfield.

This put Inter on the back foot all too frequently.

Moreover, in attack, Frattesi had little impact.

Frattesi’s ability to make goalscoring runs and contribute around the penalty area is perhaps his best attribute. However, it was not really on show yesterday.

Then, Frattesi was culpable in the buildup to Milan’s opening goal.

Having already looked weak in challenges in the first half, the 25-year-old failed to put any real pressure on Yusuf Fofana as the Frenchman played in Tammy Abraham.

It was little surprise to see Frattesi come off for Henrikh Mkhitaryan just before the hour mark. Nor was it surprising that Inter’s overall play improved after the substitution.
