German Defender’s Inter Milan Future Turns Around As Chivu Plays Him In New Role | OneFootball

Yann Bisseck and his Inter Milan career appears to have taken a fresh turn.

Once limited to covering on the right of the back three, the German defender has earned Cristian Chivu’s trust in a more central role.

Indeed, a tactical shift that could redefine his place in the squad.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Chivu views Bisseck not just as backup to Akanji.

However, as a legitimate option in the middle of defence.

The German repaid that faith with an assured display against Fiorentina.

There, he handled Moise Kean with authority and composure.

With Acerbi and de Vrij both out of contract next summer, Bisseck’s adaptability could prove crucial for Inter’s defensive rebuild.

Standing 1.96m tall with impressive physical strength and aerial presence, he offers a mix of size and mobility ideal for Chivu’s aggressive, high-line approach.

The coach is determined to build on his progress and help the former Aarhus defender develop into a long-term asset.

For Bisseck, the timing is perfect: his growing influence at club level could yet revive his Germany national team ambitions ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
