Inter Milan gets rid of Touram dependence, why does Boni have all four elements?

What if there was even a Boni last season? I believe many people feel the same after watching Inter Milan defeat Cremona. The forward line is the most important link in the 352 system, and the status of the forward line personnel is often determined by physical fitness. When the schedule is dense, rotation forwards become very important.

Unfortunately, because Correa and Arnautovic were unable to clean up, Inter Milan's forward player even came to the slightly bloated five players, but the actual effect was very poor. The "redundant" duo plus the newly introduced Taremi, the three players scored 12 goals in total. If they only count the league, there are only 7 goals. If they expand a little bit and add assists to these three, it will only be 7 goals and 4 assists.

It has to be said in detail that Taremi is the most regrettable one. As an important signing, he was affected by pubic injuries for most of the season and never showed his best physical condition. He finally managed to recover, but suffered a muscle injury. Coupled with the contrast in the performance of the national team and geopolitical factors, Taremi ended his fate with Inter Milan after just one season. Arnautovic scored the most, and there were many key goals, but his biggest problem is that you never know if he can still play in the next game. His physical condition can no longer support continuous combat and may fall down at any time. Correa scored only when he played against Verona and Como, and did nothing else.

What's more serious is that the inaction of the substitute forward made the head coach rely more on the main forward, which also led to the early overdraft of Lautaro and Toulam. The efficiency of the former plummeted as soon as the fatigue period entered, while the latter simply silenced in the second half. In Bastoni's words, "The vacation mode has been turned on", which is one of the important reasons for the weak combat in the last three lines.

But this year is different. The most obvious change in mentality is that when we learned that Marcus Toulam was going to have a month off, panic did not appear. Instead, some fans thought that it was just right to go to the French national team to report. The winning streak did give some confidence, but most importantly, the substitute forward also had to be strong. After completing the icing goal on the cake in the first round, people had different expectations for Boni.

Boni also lived up to expectations, repaying trust with one goal and an astonishing 3 assists. In fact, Boni's playing time is the least among the four forwards at present. Zivo brought him from Parma based on his understanding of him. He was also a little embarrassed after the game: Boni's turn was finally here.

As mentioned earlier, Correa scored against Verona last season. More than two years ago, Correa scored two goals against Verona, so people have to wonder whether the substitute striker can score only when facing the weakest opponent in the league. Judging from these two games of Boni's goal, it seems that it can only come in handy when "badging food", a icing on the cake against Turin 5-0, and a 4-1 victory against Cremona.

But Boni's performance tonight was too eye-catching. The fans were able to evaluate the players' strength and status through their performances in several games. If you didn't take a look at the starting list, you would even have the illusion that Toulam was still on the court. Boni's running posture and pace frequency are becoming more and more similar to Turam. His current positioning is the same as when Turam first came: a good support striker, who can protect the ball himself and dribble the ball head-on, but his explosive power is a little worse than Turam's. Boni's small steps after starting are not as tight as Turam's, but his frequency rhythm is thinner than that of the French predecessor. Boni can slow down and respond quickly by observing the situation on the field, so his simple support ability is better than Turam, and he basically does this with three assists. Discover space, use space, and powerful body adjustment ability to allow him to complete these movements.

The first assist was the first cross on the wing and quickly found the unguarded Lautaro; the second assist was a back knock in the penalty area; the third was a classic oblique straight pass. Although Cremona lacks strength, this game alone can be concluded that Boni has great potential in the future. He and Pio Esposito have very different styles and provide different solutions for Zivo's adjustment. If there were Boni last season, I believe that at least the embarrassing situation of losing all four is avoided.

Zivo's team is difficult to lead. Although he has won five consecutive victories, the mentality of the players is still elusive. In the last round, Ziwo was furious about some players' excessive desire to score goals, but tonight it was the players' turn to be dissatisfied. Dumfries hit the ball hard with his fist when he saw his number appear on the substitution card. He didn't celebrate when the team scored two goals, obviously unhappy, kept shaking his head, feeling dissatisfied with the decision to replace him. Later, Kolarov walked to the bench and comforted him with a high-five. In addition, Sucic's attitude towards the

game is not right, and it forms a relatively strong contrast with the atmosphere of a big victory.

After the game, Ziwo published the "Anger Encouragement Theory". Although being replaced and getting angry has become a fixed rhetoric, the encouragement nanny-style practice like Ziwo is still a bit surprising. Perhaps it is a way for the new coach to appease the old minister. But one thing is certain that as his confidants, Boni and Pio will definitely have a lot of opportunities to show this season.
