Inter Milan Vs Roma – Netherlands & Italy Wing-Backs ‘One Of Chivu’s Best Weapons’ In Serie A Showdown | OneFootball

Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries have been identified as Inter Milan’s most potent weapons for Sunday’s Easter showdown with Roma, with Cristian Chivu building significant elements of his tactical plan around the threat his two wing-backs can pose to the Giallorossi.

According to Corriere dello Sport, “the wing-backs have always been one of Inter’s extra weapons and Chivu has prepared the Roma clash in that key too.”

Both Dimarco and Dumfries have personal scores to settle with tonight’s opponents.

Each has scored twice against Roma across previous meetings.

Indeed, making them familiar and dangerous threats for Gasperini’s defence to manage.

Inter Vs Roma – First Time Both Dimarco & Dumfries Start Together For Months

The significance of having both available and fit at the same time cannot be overstated.

Dumfries‘ lengthy ankle injury robbed Inter of their right-sided dynamism for months.

And, indeed, the combination of both first-choice wing-backs starting a league game together has been a rarity in the second half of the season.

Corriere note that the staff and supporters have long yearned for this pairing to be restored.

Tonight, it is.

The Frenchman scored the decisive goal in the first meeting between the sides this season.

Indeed, giving him a personal connection to the fixture.

He has not scored in Serie A for two and a half months however.

And so he arrives needing to rediscover his offensive spark.

Therefore making his potential introduction a subplot worth watching as the game develops.
