The two players badly missed the penalty taken in the Super Cup and are ready to lead the team to make up for it and stay there at the top of the table
Stretchere Sticks, two senators all’Interhave always made the difference in the Nerazzurri and in the last period they have been in the crosshairs of criticism for some bad moments and also for having missed the penalty in the semi-final of Super Cup against Bologna.
Corriere dello Sport starts with the two of them to talk about Inter’s desire to redeem themselves after what happened in Riyadh, that elimination with those poorly taken penalties is not easy to digest, but the team will try to resume its path in the championship starting from the match against Atalanta (with a match to recover in mid-January).
“The desire of the two Nerazzurri now is to immediately grab a revenge, to puff out their chests and defend the top of Serie A. Feelings on which you can safely bet. Cristian Chivu will certainly do so, ready to field both Bastoni and Barella once again in the starting eleven.”
“Moreover, he has almost never given up on their quality since he sat on the Nerazzurri bench. They are in fact the most used players in the squad so far, even including Sommer. Bastoni played 1,735 minutes, followed closely by Barella at 1,640. A figure that denotes their importance in the context, but also unmasks the gap linked to the absence of alternatives capable of guaranteeing the same type of work”we read about the two Nerazzurri players and their employment.
Barella missed only one match, the Italian Cup against Venezia and started 19 of the 22 matches, substituting for his teammates only twice. In the middle of the field there will be him and Calhanoglu with Mkhitaryan favored over Zielinski. Moving forward, no surprises expected. Bonny is missing due to injury and Thuram and Lautaro will therefore have to play from the first minute with Esposito ready to lend them a hand later. Luis Henrique should play on the right and Diouf will start from the bench even if he has shown his resourcefulness on the wing. Akanji should instead return to the field from the first minute. De Vrij could be favored over Bisseck.
