Inter have decided to rely on the talents of the Under 23s to fill the gaps in the first team. In a season that started with difficulty in Group C of Serie C, the youth team is straightening out, having reached the playoff zone thanks to a game to recover. Coach Stefano Vecchi guided the youngsters with a job that, according to the management, is also useful for the first team. The most recent proof was the performance of Matteo Lavelli, who gave the victory to Inter U23 in the lunch match against Fiorentina. Lavelli, born in 2007, was decisive, demonstrating that young people can provide guarantees in attack, where Chivu's team highlighted deficiencies.
It is not an isolated case: last year the young Mattia Mosconi, also born in 2007, stood out for his offensive versatility and ability to also play as a winger. Another name in evidence is Jan Zuberek, who already has experience in Serie B and could represent a valid alternative to Pio Esposito. Although they lack the experience of Lautaro or Thuram, the management believes that an experienced plan B is necessary to help the young players mature. Jamal Iddrissou is another name monitored by Chivu, who included him in the summer tour.
The defense, however, has shown fragility, especially in European competitions. You can't count on an experienced leader in the B team, but Leonardo Noah Bovio, a young player closely followed by the coach, was included in the summer return to Germany. Another talent is Leon Jakirovic, born in 2008, who has shown a good physical structure in Serie C. For the right wing, where Dumfries is missing, Mike Aidoo is considered the most promising prospect, with good covering skills and a decent physicality.
The midfield, however, was judged capable of waiting for any future emergencies, as the season is still in its early stages and the national breaks could affect the composition of the team. Currently, the key area of the pitch appears to be in order, with the Under 23 midfielders ready to support the first team if necessary. In summary, Inter is building a youth-based replacement plan, with the aim of ensuring continuity and growth within the club.
