Giancarlo Pasinato, former Inter defender, expressed his observations on the next match between Inter and Fiorentina, scheduled for Sunday at the San Siro. During an interview with Radio Firenze, Pasinato underlined that, despite the expectations of a more solid Inter, the team suffered defensive deficiencies due to the absence of key players such as Alessandro Acerbi and Matthijs deVrij. He also mentioned Aké's difficulty and Stones' recent injury, which he believes have weakened the defensive line.
As for Fiorentina, Pasinato said that spending more does not automatically guarantee better results. He cited the Viola as an example of a team that, despite having a large budget, is not necessarily stronger. Despite this, he recognized that the purple squad does not appear weak and that the team could maintain a stable position in the table. Pasinato also predicted that Inter will have to pay particular attention to the match, although he underlined the Nerazzurri's quality and ability to resolve matches on their own.
The commentator also indicated that Sunday's match will be crucial to understand Fiorentina's position in the race for the Scudetto. He suggested watching Napoli's match against Roma, which will take place the same evening, to assess whether the Giallorossi will represent a significant obstacle for Inter in the title competition. Pasinato concluded by stating that, although Inter have unparalleled quality, they will have to be alert and ready to manage the defensive challenges that arise.
