No Lookman, No Defender – Serie A Crashout Vs Udinese Shows What’s Missing In Inter Milan Transfer Window

Against Torino on opening day, Inter looked highly convincing despite the lack of a truly blockbuster signing.

However, it was a very different story against Udinese yesterday.

After a bright opening fifteen minutes in which Inter went ahead, they crumbled under the physical pressure from Udinese, allowing the Friulani to come behind and go 2-1 up.

Among the issues that were apparent was a disjointed looking back three from Inter.

Francesco Acerbi looked half a step off the pace in his efforts to mark Udinese striker Keinan Davis. Meanwhile, Yann Bisseck looked all over the place.

The Corriere suggest that Inter will be regretting their decision not to sign a defender this summer after seeing the backline fall apart against Udinese.

The Nerazzurri missed out on top targets like Giovanni Leoni and Koni De Winter.

However, for the past few weeks Inter have also been targeting Udinese’s Oumar Solet.

The very same Solet was on the other side yesterday. And in contrast to Acerbi and Bisseck, the Frenchman had an impeccable match at the back.

Meanwhile, the Corriere note, Inter also lacked a bit of flair in attack to unlock the match as they chased it in the second half.

The irony is hard not to see after the Nerazzurri chased Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman for much of the summer.
