If Inter still has a spark of hope for the Serie A title, it owes it above all to Kristjan Asllani.
Called up to replace Çalhanoğlu in the massive rotation approved by Inzaghi, the national team midfielder not only inherits the Turkish midfielder's midfield role, but also the penalty-taking duties. Finally, a performance that doesn't make them miss the Turkish midfielder.
"He also inherited the penalty-taking duties from Çalhanoglu, calm from the penalty spot. He almost scored two goals from distance, he makes Inter play at the moderate pace they need to take home a match that was never in doubt," writes TuttoMercatoweb, rating him a 7.
Corriere dello Sport also gave him a 7: "Thanks to Çalhanoglu being benched, he started as a midfielder and imitated the Turk from the penalty spot to end a lack of goals in Serie A that had lasted more than a year. He needed an evening like this to boost his self-esteem."
Inter's website L'Interista writes: "Not Zielinski, but the one from the penalty spot. He donned the superhero cape of the super Çalhanoglu and unblocked a potentially slippery match with an unstoppable penalty. The architect of the black and blue midfield, even from a three-quarter formation. His second goal of the season after the one he scored against Lazio."
Finally, the ratings of Gazzetta dello Sport and Tuttosport fall to 6.5: "Three good things, the best of all Inter: the penalty, the right-footed shot from outside the box and the assist for Arnautovic. He deserves the compliments of his teammates", while the Turin daily newspaper comments: "He takes the ball and goes to shoot from the penalty spot like a true substitute for Çalhanoglu, but also makes himself appreciated at the end of the first half for another shot: a good evening".
