Why Poland Star Can Be The ‘Wild Card’ For Cristian Chivu At Inter Milan

In the view of Tuttosport, though, the key to Chivu’s change in system could be Nicola Zalewski.

The Polish international had already shown his versatility over the second half of last season.

Zalewski played as both a left-wingback and a right-wingback under former Inter coach Simone Inzaghi.

But in the last couple matches of the campaign, Inzaghi also tried Zalewski out in attacking midfield.

And the 23-year-old’s performance against Torino in particular showed what he’s capable of.

Zalewski opened the scoring with a spectacular long-range effort.

But even more significantly, the former Roma wingback was the player who all of Inter’s possession play went through.

Zalewski linked the midfield and attack together. And therefore, he could be a key player for Chivu to implement his new ideas.
