Player(s) to watch:
- Nicolo Barella operates as a box-to-box midfielder in Inzaghi’s 3-5-2 formation. He is known for his strength and stamina but he is also a fine technician with the ball. Despite his slender build, the Inter Milan midfielder is known for pressing with energy and aggression. With his passing ability, he can break the defence of any team and with his trickery he can beat defenders. Barella is a hardworking player who runs a lot and gives his best on the pitch. Surely sometimes due to his inconsistency, the team has to pay the price but overall Inzaghi trusts him and he can make a difference on the pitch.
