Midfielder Petar Sucic has been “revving up the engine” after a couple of early false starts with Inter Milan at the Club World Cup.

This is the view in today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

The expectations have been high for Petar Sucic at Inter Milan.

The 21-year-old midfielder only just joined the Nerazzurri from Dinamo Zagreb. And he has yet to really play at the level that he will at Inter.

However, Sucic has impressed heavily in the last couple seasons for Dinamo.

Moreover, the Croat has also looked up to the task in midfield for the national team.

Petar Sucic “Revving Up The Engine” For Inter Milan

In his first appearance for Inter, Petar Sucic came off the bench in the team’s Club World Cup group stage opener against Monterrey.

In truth, that performance showcased little of the Croatian international’s best qualities.

Sucic looked hesitant, offering little in possession and not providing much of a defensive presence.

Then, there were improvements in the 21-year-old’s second substitute appearance of the tournament, against Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds.

Then, Sucic’s display against River Plate was his best yet. The Croat assisted Francesco Pio Esposito for the decisive second half goal.

This capped off a display that saw Sucic really start to take risks with the ball.
