Inter Milan s biggest highlight of a good start, new midfielder Meacha jumped into green ballet for his debut

4:49am, 27 August 2025Football

Inter Milan defeated Turin 5-0, helping Zivo break Inter Milan's 24-year taboo - since Cooper in 2001, no non-Italian Inter Milan coach has been able to win the first round of the league.

This curse once cost Mourinho, Benitez, Debor and others, but did not destroy Meazza's first main game after Zivo took over.

Inter Milan played many highlights, such as "Tulao made contributions", such as Boni's appearance on the bench and Bastoni and Barrera set records.

But if you want to talk about the biggest surprise of this game, I will vote for new aid Sucic.

This is not just because Sucic contributed assists in his first game in Serie A and gained data.

is not just because, as the running king of the game (10,220 meters in 85 minutes) and steal king (4 times), he has 4 attacks and 2 threatening passes, with a total pass success rate of up to 91%, both offense and defense, full of activity, and is not bad in decisiveness.

is more importantly because, as the only "novel" among the 11 starters with an average age of 29.5 years old, as the representative of Inter's spending nearly 100 million euros to introduce many new players in the summer, Sucic represents not only himself, but also a group and a direction.

Sucic's home debut had a good start and delivered a perfect answer.

In this game, Ziwo arranged Sucic to the right position in the third midfielder. This mainly does not want to drag the back and the midfield, which will bind Sucic's longboard with a huge range of movement and strong offensive ability.

Barella claims to be the center midfielder, but in fact she is still a B2B habit. She made several consecutive pass mistakes in the middle of the first half, and it is obvious that she still doesn't adapt to the "number 6".

Inter Milan's deputy's replacement is giving way to the Croatians, which means Sucic is under pressure to be criticized if he doesn't excel.

Sucic is outstanding in several aspects.

For example, his solid basic skills - this player who is used to use his right foot has launched a long pass of more than 50 meters in the backcourt with his weak foot, which is quite accurate. I won’t talk about my vision. Just the all-rounder of left and right feet is higher than the “Tiancan foot” that many Serie A have been called “Son of the Chosen”.

For example, the long-range shooting skills with a high lower limit - Sucic tried four long-range shots outside the penalty area in this battle, two shots on the right side, one blocked, and one slightly off.

He can hold the ball down for most shots, which is still knowledgeable. As long as you exert strength, you may have a chance to shoot more. If the anti-aircraft artillery is fired, the attack will end.

Long-range shooting was originally a key skill point in the Croatian midfielder. I believe that at Inter Milan, he will have the opportunity to reap his military achievements.

Of course, Sucic, who plays in the midfield, steals and defensive abilities are the foundation. In this game, Sucic tackled and regained the ball with four tackles, especially at the critical time when Barrera made consecutive passes and made mistakes, his shoveling and risk removal is still very critical.

Sucic's biggest highlight comes from his key skill in playing futsal football - a quick turn and pass known as "Green Ballet".

In the first half, Sucic cooperated with Dumfries on the right, and quickly turned around and stuffed the ball to tear the opponent's defense line after getting the ball. It was a small test.

Then Inter Milan pressed in the frontcourt to form a chaotic situation. With Sucic receiving the ball with his back, he quickly turned around and made a pass, assisting Toulam, and gaining the first data in Serie A, which made Italian media sigh: this six-foot (1.83 meters) big man turned around as quick and smooth as a ballet dancer!

In fact, at the first meeting of joining Inter Milan, Sucic said about his last goal in Dynamo Zagreb (turning around quickly and attacking): "I like to play Futsal, so I am good at these moves."

Sucic is not able to accept interviews fluently in Yishen for the time being, but after the game, he also has high scores: "The first game at Meacha Stadium is very special. We are very happy, not only because of the victory, but also because of the team's performance. I am very happy to come to Inter Milan. Since I came, I have improved in all aspects. Who helped me the most? I am learning Yishen. Currently, Mkhitaryan is helping me as a translator. If you have to say one person, it is him. But what helps me integrate into the team and keep improving is the entire team."

Tell the truth.

Inter Milan's starting lineup, three veterans over 36 years old can only be regarded as "making use of their remaining energy"; 7 players aged 26-29 are the core framework, and it is their entire team that makes Inter Milan spend a lot of money in summer, but they have not bought any big names that can ensure the start when they come. These players can indeed play, but they cannot support the third-line battle alone. At the same time, there is limited room for continued appreciation in the future. The only "young generation" player is Sucic, which is what the team lacks the most.

Some bigwigs continue to criticize Inter Milan for burning money in summer, but not buying "family men's big names" is wasted money and learning the "magic ball theory" of Hongniao Capital. Sooner or later, the qualification for the Champions League is no longer guaranteed. The gritting force of teeth could not be persuaded no matter how hard it was.

But I personally believe that this view is indeed up to be discussed. The existence of Inter Milan's Italian internationals and Tulao combinations is destined to have a fundamental difference in the structure of the team and other teams. Compared with this, Inter Milan lacks a "new generation", a reliable rotation player, and a young and vigorous "energy", which is also a bloody lesson bought from the journey last season. "Make up for whatever is missing" is always right.

Under such a general premise, new players like Sucic quickly made contributions, and it was just right.
