shocking: Inzaghi planing negatively for his two pl……
With his lineup selections against Salernitana on Friday, Inzaghi defied expectations.
According to reports that week, the Inter coach was planning to rotate his players a lot for that particular game.
Inter had a sizable lead at the top of the Serie A standings heading into it, after all. They were up against the Campanians, who were fighting for relegation, and this matchup was about as simple as it could get on paper.
However, Inzaghi ultimately opted to use a starting eleven that was almost at full strength.
It seems like Inzaghi wished to eliminate any chance of a shocking outcome on Friday.
In the match against Salernitana, the 47-year-old led a side that was more than capable of winning three points.
And for that choice, Inzaghi received his due. At the San Siro, Inter crushed the Granata with a 4-0 score that almost made the visiting team blush.
Though the game was effectively over by the second half, the Nerazzurri coach did got to rest a few important players.
But with regards to the Champions League round of sixteen encounter on Tuesday, according to Sky, Inzaghi will not be considering rotating in Europe because of local competition.
When Inter plays Atletico, it will mainly be the same squad that played against Salernitana.
Stefan de Vrij will therefore be positioned in the middle of the back three. Benjamin Pavard and Alessandro Bastoni will be the Dutchman’s teammates.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Nicolo Barella will start as the customary midfield trio.
