Inter Milan defeated Roma 1-0 in this round of Serie A. The author of All Market Network once again talked about Inter Milan's failed deal to introduce Cone this summer, as well as Diouf's performance.
Inter Milan was willing to pay approximately 40 to 45 million euros for Cone. For a midfielder who is only 24 years old and has established a foothold on the international stage, this price is high, but it is reasonable. He was originally the perfect signing target. Since Chivu came to Inter Milan, he began to envision adding a stronger midfielder to the blue-black team he created.
But none of this came to fruition, and Inter Milan ended up spending only about half of this budget: 20 million euros to sign Diouf. It is rumored that he has excellent running ability, but so far, the midfielder is still the "most mysterious" presence in Inter Milan this season.
At the same time, Inter Milan’s formation has not changed. Without Kone and the well-prepared Diouf, Chivu gave up the "revolutionary" style of play originally envisioned. In the preseason, Inter Milan did experiment with the 3-4-2-1 formation.
But in Serie A and the Champions League, Inter Milan has almost always adhered to the classic 3-5-2 formation. Calhanoglu is still the core of the midfield, with Varela and Mkhitaryan on the left and right. Together with Susic, he is the only midfield substitute who can get some playing time in the main lineup.
This is the highly tacit system that Inzaghi has built over four years on the basis of what Conte left behind, and it is difficult to shake. The joining of Diouf, at least for now, seems a bit "lightweight" compared to Cone.
