Inter: Borja Valero disappoints again

16 apr 2018

Inter had an opportunity to make their way into the top four if they had managed three points against Atlanta in the last Serie A tie at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia on 15 April. Instead, the Luciano Spalletti saw his side settle for a goalless draw during the away trip on Sunday.

Borja Valero started for the Nerazzurri in the heart of the midfielder against Atlanta.
However, the Madrid-born player struggled to impress in Inter’s last outing and the Italian publications calciomercato.com, Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport have rated Valero’s performances.

Calciomercvato.com, 5: First nightmare, players around him all travel at double speed. Fortunately in the second half, Atalanta lowered their pace.

Gazzetta dello Sport, 4.5: “Sacrosance caution for a connection on Gomez. The absence of Brozovic and Cancelo forced him to play low: it's no longer for him".

Corriere dello Sport, 5: "A quantity of balls delivered to opponents. For him the rhythm of Atalanta is unsustainable".
