‘Worst On The Pitch’ – Albania Star Under Fire For Display In Parma 2-2 Inter Milan Serie A Draw | OneFootball

Kristjan Asllani has been branded as the “worst player on the pitch” in yesterday’s Serie A draw between Parma and Inter Milan.

Today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, argue that the 22-year-old was not up to par in holding midfield.

Kristjan Asllani got the start in yesterday’s Serie A clash between Parma and Inter Milan.

The former Empoli midfielder started in holding midfield. That meant that Hakan Calhanoglu moved up to a box-to-box role.

In the view of the Gazzetta dello Sport, Kristjan Asllani did not have the authority to play in holding midfield.

The Albanian played too many short and sideways passes to really squeeze Parma back.

And that led to Inter conceding counterattacks in the view of the Gazzetta.

Albanian tried a few long passes, often to success. But he also tried his luck with a couple shots from distance, wildly off target.

Meanwhile, after Hakan Calhanoglu went off and Inter chased a goal to regain the lead. Asllani had little influence in midfield.

Therefore, in the view of the Gazzetta, this was emblematic of Asllani’s performance as a whole.
