Inter’s Tactical Plans – FAQs
Why did Inzaghi choose Correa as a starter?
With Marcus Thuram sidelined due to injury, Simone Inzaghi had to rely on Joaquín Correa to partner Lautaro Martínez in attack. Correa’s experience and goal-scoring ability made him the preferred choice.
What is Vieira’s plan for Zanoli in an attacking role?
Zanoli, a fast and agile player, is expected to be effective in counter-attacking situations. Vieira hopes that his speed will cause trouble for Inter’s defense.
How will the absence of Çalhanoğlu impact Inter’s gameplay?
With Hakan Çalhanoğlu out, Kristjan Asllani makes his first start of the season in the playmaker role. While young, Asllani possesses the technical skills to ensure smooth ball movement in midfield.
What is Inter’s main objective in this match?
Inter’s primary goal is to secure all three points and overtake Napoli at the top of the Serie A table. Napoli plays against Como later tonight, making this a must-win for Inzaghi’s side.
