MiTi: Bisek gradually adapts to playing as a central defender, Acerbi s future is getting further and further away from Inter Milan

According to "Gazzetta dello Sport", as Bisek gradually adapts to the central defender position, Acerbi's future is moving away from Inter Milan.

In this week’s Champions League match, the 37-year-old Inter Milan veteran Acerbi still did not play. This is the third consecutive game that he has not played. The last time he started for Inter Milan was the 1-3 Serie A loss to Naples. "Gazzetta dello Sport" pointed out that Acerbi is no longer a key player in coach Chivu's project.

Acerbi started all 7 times for Inter Milan this season, but in the game against Naples, he was responsible for two conceding goals. In the next three games, Chivu chose Bicek and De Vrij as central defenders, while Acerbi lost the chance to play.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" stated that although Chivu followed Inter Milan's 352 formation last season, he required the entire team to maintain a high pressure defense, which required higher speed from the defenders. Compared with Acerbi, the young Bieseke is more suitable for Chivu's tactical requirements. Last season Bisek mainly played as a right central defender, while Bisek gradually adapted to the central central defender position.

Now Akanji has become an irreplaceable candidate for the right center back, and Chivu himself prefers Bisek to serve as the central center back. Together with De Vrij who remains in the team, this results in Acerbi's space being compressed. "Gazzetta dello Sport" stated that if Bisek can stabilize at the central defender position, Acerbi, whose contract expires next summer, will become increasingly distant from Inter Milan.
