Dimarco changes position for Italy, but the assist remains his trademark

Federico Dimarco experienced an unusual evening with Italy in their match against France. The Inter wing-back was deployed in a less familiar position than his usual role on the flank, yet the change did not affect his ability to make an impact in the final third. Even in a different tactical setting, the Nerazzurri player still managed to play a leading part.

The most important detail of his performance was the assist he delivered during the game. It was another decisive contribution confirming a now familiar feature of his game: Dimarco can turn his runs down the flank, crosses and quality left foot into genuine chances for his teammates. His deployment in an unfamiliar position therefore added an interesting tactical dimension to his display without reducing his attacking threat.

Dimarco will now return to Inter after their 2-0 victory over Como on November 8. Chivu’s team will visit Atalanta on Sunday, November 22, at 20:45, in Serie A matchday 12. The schedule will then continue with the Champions League meeting with Stuttgart, set for November 25 at 21:00 at San Siro.
