Fiorentina 1-1 Inter Milan – Poland & France Superstars Fall Short Of Expectations In Tuscany | OneFootball

Inter Milan stars Piotr Zielinski and Marcus Thuram failed to impress in last night’s frustrating 1-1 Serie A draw against bottom-half Fiorentina.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, only a handful of Nerazzurri players met expectations at Stadio Artemio Franchi.

With Hakan Calhanoglu reclaiming his spot in the middle of the park, Zielinski moved to the left side, replacing the injured Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

However, the former Napoli midfielder struggled to influence proceedings, lacking his usual sharpness and lucidity.

Furthermore, he struggled against Marco Brescianini, who nearly set up Moise Kean for Fiorentina’s equalizer in the first half.

Zielinski & Thuram Struggle in Fiorentina 1-1 Inter Milan Draw

Deprived of Lautaro Martinez’s services, Inter desperately needed someone to take responsibility in the final third.

Although Francesco Pio Esposito answered the call, scoring a first-minute opener to put the visitors in front, Thuram faltered once again.

Indeed, the French striker registered a fifth consecutive scoreless outing in Serie A. In fact, he remains at seven goals from 23 league appearances this term.

Thuram has been unrecognizable since returning from injury, and it’s unsurprising that the Nerazzurri consider offloading him in the summer.

Meanwhile, Ange-Yoan Bonny, who replaced his compatriot midway through the second half, couldn’t make a telling impact either.
