Ex Man United Veteran Hails Inter Milan & Italy Teammate: ‘Always Plays Great Balls Into The Box’ | OneFootball

Inter Milan wingback Matteo Darmian feels that the Nerazzurri can always rely on great service from Federico Dimarco.

The 34-year-old spoke to InterTV, via FCInterNews, after yesterday evening’s Serie A win over Lecce. He hailed his club and international’s outstanding crossing ability.

Darmian was the beneficiary of a very good Dimarco delivery into the box yesterday evening.

The two Italian internationals showed how important the wide players are to Inter’s attack.

It was not quite a goal from one wingback to the other.

Striker Mehdi Taremi also had a decisive touch, flicking the ball onto the head of Darmian.

But the principle of quickly getting the ball from a wide area to a wingback on the far post was certainly evident.

The goal required a perfectly timed and executed header by Darmian. And it also was the result of the technical quality of the cross that his opposite number Dimarco played into the box.

Matteo Darmian: “Federico Dimarco Always Plays Great Balls Into The Box”

“We knew that it was crucial against a back-four defense to try and get him open,” Darmian said of his teammate Dimarco.

“And then, Dimash has an incredible left foot.”

“He always puts great balls into the box,” Darmian said of Dimarco. “And it’s right for me to try and finish at the far post.”

“Sometimes it goes right. Sometimes it doesn’t. But we always have to attack that area.”

Darmian said of yesterday’s match that “We wanted to make up for the draw in Genoa.”

“And to win our first match at the San Siro.”

“It was a good performance from everyone,” said the Inter wingback. “Now we have to keep working, because that’s the only way that we can get results.”

Darmian also added that “We were calm after the Genoa match. We wanted to go out on the pitch and get the result.”
