Seeded, I Nerrazurri Defender Crisis

Milan, Beritasatu.com – The continuation of the Italian Serie A League will bring Inter Milan vs Como together at the Giuseppe Meazza, Tuesday (24/12/2024) at 02.45 WIB. It is important for Inter to win this match to maintain their position in the top three.

Inter Milan is currently in third place with 34 points from 15 matches, four points behind Napoli who have played 17 matches and six points adrift of leaders Atalanta.

On paper, Inter Milan is favored to win the match. This is considering that their opponent Como is at the bottom of the standings, ranked 15th with 15 points from 16 matches. Apart from that, from the last two meetings, Inter took note clean sheets with a 4-0 win on

Unfortunately, Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is currently confused by the defender crisis his team is facing. After losing Benjamin Pavard and Francesco Acerbi, Inter Milan is threatened with being without Stefan de Vrij and Matteo Darmian who are injured.

“We are still without Pavard and Acerbi. “Today, De Vrij and Darmian also experienced problems,” said Inzaghi.

Inzaghi had to make significant changes to the back line to overcome this situation. One option is to play Alessandro Bastoni at right back, while young player Yann Aurel Bisseck, who impressed in the Coppa Italia last 16 match against Udinese, is again relied on as a central defender.

“Bisseck played really well on Thursday. If Darmian is not available, Bastoni will probably play there. “We also have Palacios and Carlos Augusto who can play on the left side,” he said.

Inzaghi realizes that his team cannot be careless when facing Como, which he considers to be a solid team. Inzaghi also highlighted the quality of the opposing team. Como, who is currently showing solid performance with a combination of young and experienced players, is a challenge for Inter.

“Como is a well-organized team. They have a mix of experience and youthful energy. Fabregas showed his quality in Serie A. This will be a difficult match,” added Inzaghi.

Inzaghi’s warning is quite reasonable. Especially if you look at Como’s last match, which managed to crush AS Roma 2-0 last week. This victory was an important asset and increased the confidence of Cesc Fabregas’ troops to face Inter Milan.
