Strategic Rest for Inter’s Stars Ahead of Crucial Fixtures

Inter Milan is fully committed to competing on all fronts: Serie A, Champions League, Coppa Italia, and the Club World Cup. Coach Simone Inzaghi has made it clear that the team is taking a step-by-step approach, focusing on each game while keeping the big picture in mind. This means prioritizing the upcoming match against Feyenoord but also considering the subsequent clash with Atalanta.

Notably, Inter’s three most valuable players, Bastoni, Barella, and Lautaro Martinez, will start on the bench for the game against Feyenoord. This decision is aimed at resting them before the important Serie A match against Atalanta in Bergamo, a direct title rival, which takes place before the international break. Bastoni and Barella are expected to play for Italy in the Nations League, while Martinez will represent Argentina in World Cup qualifiers.

In their places, Bisseck, Frattesi, and Taremi will get the nod. Bisseck is enjoying a positive season and continuing to develop, as seen in his impactful performance against Monza. However, Frattesi and Taremi have had less impressive seasons so far. Frattesi, frustrated with his lack of starting opportunities, considered a move away in the winter transfer window, with Roma still interested. Taremi, who arrived on a free transfer, has underperformed expectations and is currently behind Arnautovic in the attacking pecking order. He has scored only 3 goals, two of which were penalties. The match against Feyenoord presents an opportunity for Taremi to revive his form and make a positive impact.
