Inter Milan Youngsters Criticised After Supercoppa Italiana Exit To Bologna

Italian media have delivered a mixed assessment of Inter Milan’s performances following their Supercoppa Italiana exit to Bologna, with Corriere dello Sport particularly critical of Yann Bisseck and Ange-Yoan Bonny.

The Rome-based newspaper, via FCInterNews, handed both youngsters a rating of 5, making them the lowest-scoring Inter players on the night.

Bisseck was faulted for the handball that led to Bologna’s penalty, despite a solid start in which he used his physical strength well against Bernardeschi.

Bonny, meanwhile, struggled to make an impact.

The Corriere noted that Bologna’s defenders had clearly learned how to contain him compared to his past success against them.

In contrast, there were several positives for Inter. Josep Martinez and Marcus Thuram both received a 7, the highest ratings in the team.

Martinez was praised for his authority in the air and a crucial late save on Fabbian.

Meanwhile Thuram was rewarded for an outstanding volleyed goal and his relentless work rate throughout the match.

Cristian Chivu himself was rated 6, with Corriere highlighting Inter’s strong opening and improved second half, despite late risks.

Solid contributions were also noted from De Vrij, Bastoni, Barella, Mkhitaryan and Dimarco.

All judged to have met expectations in a demanding contest.

Overall, the verdict underlined a familiar theme. Encouraging team structure and individual quality at senior level, undermined by costly errors from younger players at decisive moments.
