Cristian Chivu Searching For A Way To Fit Italy Fringe Midfielder Into New Inter Milan System | OneFootball

New Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu intends to keep his pre-season promise and fit Davide Frattesi into his system.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, the Romanian is trying to find a place for the Italian in his starting line-up.

Davide Frattesi was on the verge of leaving Inter last January.

Indeed, tired of sitting on the margins, he tried to force his move to Roma, but Simone Inzaghi blocked the transfer.

However, the former Nerazzurri boss never trusted the 25-year-old enough to make him a regular starter.

Frattesi would’ve probably been part of Inter’s history had Inzaghi stayed at the helm.

Yet, Chivu’s arrival has been a game-changer, with the ex-Parma coach convincing the player to stay.

Indeed, the 44-year-old has promised to give the Italian midfielder a more prominent role at San Siro.

Frattesi feels more comfortable playing closer to the goal, and Chivu’s 3-4-2-1 formation appeared ideal for his attacking instincts.

But the player has yet to feature for Inter this season, raising questions over Chivu’s readiness to fulfill his promise.
