Inter lost to Fluminense in the World Club Championship

The Milan team "Inter" took a cue from the Italian national team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

A year ago, the Italian team was eliminated in the 1/8 finals of the European Championship. Nevertheless, the "Nerazzurri" were also knocked out of the World Club Championship at the same stage.

The "Nerazzurri" team conceded one goal at the beginning and one at the end of the match against "Fluminense." The 44-year-old goalkeeper Fabio faced no goals from the Italian players. It's good that "Inter" did not lose by at least 0:5, as they had suffered such a defeat to "PSG" in the Champions League final a month ago.

It has become a habit for "Inter" to lose chances of winning in major competitions at the end of each month. The publication "Evro-Futbol.Ru" evaluated three players from the Milan team who hindered "Nerazzurri" from reaching the quarter-finals of the World Club Championship. The maximum score is 10, and the rating at the beginning of the game was 6.0.

Stefan de Vrij received a score of 2.0. He initiated the attack that led to "Fluminense's" winning goal, losing the ball to the opponent in his own half.

Perhaps Stefan was inspired by Sommer. Sommer had posed a threat of scoring against "Inter" in the first minute of the game.

Later, de Vrij initiated a similar counterattack, passing the ball to Darmian, but lost his position in defense. Additionally, Stefan missed a very good opportunity in the middle of the second half, sending the ball high from close range. Lautaro Martinez was rated 4.0.

In a situation where he assisted de Vrij, Lautaro turned on his mode of missing opportunities. He created four dangerous chances but failed to get past the goalkeeper twice, hit the goalpost once, and could not send the ball into the "Fluminense" net from the right side.

Lautaro has failed to convert two consecutive opportunities. While this did not work against "River Plate," this time it benefited the "Rio team." Marcus Thuram received a score of 3.5.

Perhaps it was not right to put Thuram in the starting lineup immediately after Kivu's injury. Especially since earlier reports indicated that Thuram would start the 1/8 final match on the bench.

Marcus was mainly remembered for his inaccurate shots, losing the ball, and his new hairstyle. The good side is that he provided a key pass once and advanced the ball in the game. Author: Kirill Ivantsov
