Sometimes what we all need in life is just one person to invest great faith in us. In fact, everything is psychological and if you have high psychology with you, you can cross imaginary walls that were previously impossible to even get close to, let alone cross. And here we come to Asllani! If we talk positively about Kristjan Asllani at this moment, after a draw with a taste of defeat against Serbia and another draw with a taste of defeat against Latvia, everyone will react: "You're continuing with fairy tales, what do we need Asllani at Inter when he didn't help us with Albania?".
In fact, this is where the difference lies, because Kristjan Asllani with Kivu is on a different level from Kristjan Asllani of Inzaghi. And in the June matches we have seen Kristjan Asllani of Inzaghi, of Kivu, we will see him in September. But what happened? The great fear, the pressure coming from Inzaghi and the lack of confidence of the coach, made Kristjan Asllani take many steps back and lose many points among his values. Inter fans did not want him anymore, consecutive mistakes and the suitcases were always ready, the only ones who believed in him until the end were the managers.
But let's not forget how Asllani went to Inter, at a very young age and the first statement was from Lukaku about him: "He's 20 years old, but it surprises me, he thinks like a 30-year-old on the field". And if Lukaku may have been talking nonsense, then we have the other case, Di Marco. In the first matches that Asllani was playing with Inter in the pre-season friendly matches, Di Marco asked the other players to get off the ball because the free kick was supposed to be taken by Kristjan Asllani. A young, small, newly arrived player and Di Marco asked his teammates to give the ball to Asllani. And after he excelled in those friendlies, Inzaghi never activated him again in the championship. Sitting on the bench, lack of self-confidence, to come to that pure chance loss to Barcelona in the Champions League and the rest is history.
Granit Xhaka was in such a situation at Arsenal a few years ago, even in one match the fans booed him demanding his departure, much worse than Asllani, but then with the fantastic performances he developed, the love for him returned. And Kivu seems to be going to turn Kristjan Asllani into a case like Granit Xhaka. Asllani has played 3 matches as a starter in the 3 challenges Inter played in the Club World Cup, which took first place in the group.
Yesterday against River Plate in the 2-0 victory, Asllani played for 90 minutes and shone on the field, Kivu did not remove him at any moment. Even when the great talent of Dinamo Zagreb, Susic, entered, Kivu removed Barela and left Asllani on the field. Asllani was the player who created the most chances in the match out of all Inter players, 4 clear chances. Also Asllani produced both of Inter's goals, he started the action of the first goal where he gave the ball to Susic and the latter passed to Esposito who scored the goal and then Asllani produced the assist for Bastoni.
Without forgetting the fact that Inter-River Plate yesterday had the tempo of a Brazil-Argentina match, 90 minutes of running, 90 minutes of fighting, 90 minutes of physical duels and an intensity that was crazy, crazy. Asllani maintained this level by excelling, he was no longer turning the ball back, he always found the corridor to start the action forward, he was not boring and was entering physical duels, winning even those that have his weakest point.
Some time ago, the Italian media said that Torino's Riçi would be bought by Inter to get rid of Asllani. Today, the Italian media say that Kivu's Kristjan Asllani is much higher than any kind of Riçi and the other level of this player. Even "Calciomercato", the well-known Italian media went even further, saying that now Inter can remove Çalhanoglu to Galatasaray without much headache, since Asllani is replacing him worthily, while there is also another option like Susic.
A new Inter created by Kivu, we had said, the first victory of a coach since his predecessor does not come from the result, but from the transformation of a player who was once in the shadows and it seems that Kivu has chosen Asllani. We all look for a Kivu in life, a man like that, to unlock our abilities and to raise our self-confidence to such a point, that perhaps we will no longer even recognize ourselves. Asllani is no longer recognized on the green field, it is Kivu's Asllani, not Inzaghi's.
