Inter Milan's Tactical Shift Ahead of Feyenoord Clash in Champions League
Inter Milan must adapt their formation due to several player injuries as they prepare for an important Champions League match against Feyenoord.
Inter Milan is entering a crucial month as they prepare for an important Serie A match against Atalanta and, more significantly, a two-legged UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie against Feyenoord. The squad, managed by Simone Inzaghi, is facing a challenge due to player injuries, particularly affecting the left wing, where Federico Dimarco, Matteo Darmian, Nicola Zalewski, and Carlos Augusto are all sidelined.
Tactical Adjustments
To cope with these injuries, Inzaghi is expected to implement a new tactical system, possibly shifting to a 3-5-2 formation, versatile enough to transition into a 4-4-2 when defending. This new approach will rely on the attacking capabilities of Alessandro Bastoni, who will play as a wing-back.

Inter’s recent draw against Napoli highlighted the confusion that can arise from tactical changes, as they struggled to synchronize after Dimarco’s injury. For the upcoming match, the performance of the left side, particularly Bastoni and Pavard, will be critical for Inter’s success.
Inzaghi’s squad must manage their resources wisely, hoping some players can recover before the return fixture at San Siro next Tuesday against Atalanta.
