1982 FIFA World Cup Winner Urges Inter Milan To Buy ‘Someone Like Conceicao’ In January | OneFootball

Francesco Graziani has told Inter Milan to reinforce their squad in the January transfer window to bolster their Scudetto chances.

Speaking to La Domenica Sportiva via FCInter1908, Graziani offered his verdict on Inter’s performance at Genoa last night.

Therefore, the Nerazzurri provided a perfect response to a gut-wrenching Champions League defeat to Liverpool.

Moreover, Cristian Chivu’s men will head into the Supercoppa Italiana as the new Serie A pacesetters.

Indeed, they’ve leapfrogged AC Milan and Napoli at the summit on the back of their third consecutive league win.

Though Inter controlled the tempo for most of the game, they lost their rhythm in the final half-hour.

As such, Graziani urged Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio to address Inter’s shortcomings during the winter transfer window.

“Liverpool is a great team, and Inter rose to the occasion,” Graziani said.

Asked when the Nerazzurri become vulnerable, he replied: “When they think they’re stronger than everyone else and feel there’s no need to sacrifice themselves to chase the ball.

“In the first half against Genoa, they pressed incredibly, and Lautaro was pressing everyone.

“When Inter plays like that, they are the strongest team in the league.

“However, watch out for Napoli because when their injured players return, they will be a tough obstacle.

“Does Chivu help everyone improve? We’ll have to see over time; right now it’s a bit of a rollercoaster.”

Finally, he offered a piece of advice to Marotta and Ausilio ahead of the January transfer window.

“What I would suggest to two extraordinary managers like Marotta and Ausilio is to look at players like Conceicao or Politano; quick players who can beat their man.

“Think about them in January. It wouldn’t be wrong.

“There are moments when Inter plays with blinders on and always tries to break through in the same areas.
