The strange case of Wesley Sneijder

  • Cristian Giudici

An impossible experiment. In the first friendly matches of the season,  Gasperini is using Sneijder in a further back role than he's used to. The Dutch player has the skill and the experience to play also in this role, as he already did at Ajax.

The summer football is there to try new things on the pitch and the coach of Inter is right to test him, but he must be careful: it's one thing to lose in friendlies, where the result doesn't count, another thing is when you have to get the three points. Nonetheless, Sneijder is one of the best quarterbacks in the world and can play as a midfielder, but he cannot and never will be able to play centrally in a 3-4-3 because he needs two teammates in his support and therefore of a midfield with 3 players. A bit like Iniesta atl Barcelona.

Getting older, it is not easy to return to old roles, like Pirlo or  Zanetti. Obviously, football is not a science...
