Italy Defensive Duo Outstanding In Feyenoord 0-2 Inter Milan, Iran Superstar ‘Soft’ Again | OneFootball

Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni forged a wall in Inter Milan’s 2-0 win at Feyenoord, but Mehdi Taremi struggled again.

Per Tuttosport via FCInterNews, cloning the 37-year-old center-back would be a wise thing to do.

Indeed, the former Lazio defender rolled back the years to help Inter register another Champions League clean sheet.

Furthermore, Bastoni excelled in a new role.

With Federico Dimarco injured, Simone Inzaghi deployed the Italian star as a left wingback.

Despite earlier skepticism, Bastoni fared tremendously well at De Kuip.

While the long-serving defenders held up their end of the bargain, last summer’s signing flopped again.

Taremi replaced the goalscorer Marcus Thuram midway through the second half.

However, the Iranian striker was ‘soft’ and could impact the proceedings since coming on.

Despite another underwhelming performance, the 32-year-old could soon have a chance to atone.

Indeed, Inzaghi may bench Lautaro Martinez and Thuram in Saturday’s home league game against Monza.

Therefore, Taremi could get a new opportunity to rescue his miserable stint at Giuseppe Meazza.
