Manuel Akanji continues to look like one of the most impactful new arrivals in Serie A this season, with another competent display of composure and intelligence for Inter Milan in their 1-0 win against Roma.
L’Interista have compiled the reaction across the Italian press to Akanji’s performance, who had kind words to say.
“He’s the last one to arrive, but it looks like he has been playing for Inter forever: a professor,” wrote Tuttosport, underlining how quickly Akanji has taken command of Chivu’s defensive structure.
Therefore, from his anticipation to clean decision-making in possession, the former Manchester City man dictated the tempo in the first phase of play.
Tuttomercatoweb echoed that sentiment, noting how Akanji “gives great security to the team.
“He always gives the impression of knowing the best choice to make. He suffers only the necessary against a trident without a real striker.”
Even as Roma raised the tempo in the second half, Akanji stayed calm.
Furthermore, he coordinated the line well, and helped Inter absorb pressure without losing shape.
Step by step, he is becoming one of the pillars of the Chivu era – a defender who brings not only physical reliability, but personality and order.
