Inter Milan wingback Federico Dimarco has won praise for his highly proactive display on the left flank for Italy against Estonia.

Today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, name the 27-year-old as one of Italy’s standout performers in the 5-0 World Cup qualifying win despite a lack of a goal or assist.

Italy beat Estonia yesterday in a World Cup qualifying win. They won by the emphatic scoreline of 5-0.

Gennaro Gattuso got his reign as Azzurri off to the best possible start with the victory.

Italy were not able to score in the first half, despite their complete dominance of possession.

However, in the second half the floodgates opened, with the Azzurri scoring five goals without reply.

Inter Trio Bastoni, Barella & Dimarco Shine For Inter Vs Estonia

Gattuso started three Inter players in yesterday’s World Cup qualifier.

One of these was Federico Dimarco. He took up a position on the left side of a back four.

Dimarco may not have assisted or scored a goal from that position.

However, the Inter wingback was highly proactive, getting up the pitch and constantly threatening down his side of the pitch.

Dimarco’s aggressive positioning pushed Estonia back, and offered a constant outlet in possession for Italy.

Furthermore, the 27-year-old also tested Estonia goalkeeper Karl Hien.
