The Inter de Milan has made official the hiring of Edin dzeko for the next two seasons, in a move that materialized due to the departure of Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea FC for 115 million euros. The Belgian returned to London and left the Neroauzurro team, leaving him a good amount of money to accommodate his accounts due to the difficult economic situation that the current champion of Italy is experiencing.
But, beyond leaving its main star, Inter have incorporated one of the best strikers in Serie A in recent years and a piece that fits perfectly with what Simone Inzaghi demands for its main point, taking into account account that bets on a 1-3-5-2 as the main tactical system, similar to the one used by Antonio Conte beyond having its own nuances.
A striker for the Inzaghi system
Edin Dzeko is a forward with a dominant physique, but who also stands out for his mobility and ability to play from behind. He does not stray from the profile of Romelu Lukaku. In FBREF, a page that analyzes footballers by their statistics, affirms that the Bosnian is a footballer very similar to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robert Lewandowski and the Belgian mime.
The former AS Roma comes to be the main offensive reference of Inzaghi’s system, always seeking to empower his teammate in attack and offering solutions in attack to his team, both to define in the last section of the court and to be a game option direct when they cannot overcome pressures.
Another feature that characterizes it is its ability to attack the back of the defenses. He is not a fast footballer, but he positions himself very well and knows when to mark the passing line so that his partner can connect with him in depth. He offers many solutions that will come in handy for a team that will depend more on its structure after losing two of its main stars.
Despite not being at the level of Lukaku and transmitting that his best years are over, Dzeko is a moving signing that can give very good results to the current Italian champion who, despite losing names, has a base to compete for the UEFA Champions League and repeat his title at the national level. And more top-tier reinforcements may still arrive.
