Bastoni as the central defender in a back three: a rarity at Inter
The Nerazzurro can operate in the middle of the back line, a role he has started in only once for Inter.

Alessandro Bastoni could be deployed as the central defender in Inter’s back three. The solution has often been used with Italy, but it remains uncommon in Nerazzurro colours: he has started only one Inter match in that position.
The tactical choice would add quality to the build-up and greater fluency from the back. Usually positioned on the left, Bastoni could therefore take on a more central role in the team’s structure.
