The Nerazzurri flag reads the Nerazzurri winger’s change of pace: “Compared to Inzaghi’s management, the new thing is that this year he finishes the matches. The tactical, athletic and motivational differences that have led him to be even more of a factor”
There are those who say that the numbers don’t say everything. Popular wisdom? Math adversity? Maybe a 50/50. But the truth is, there is just nothing more solid than an argument based on statistics. Federico Dimarco knows something about this, as he ended last season short of breath but today one of the strongest wingers in the world is back. Why? The numbers answer: first defender to provide five assists in five consecutive appearances in the last 20 seasons in Serie A, before him only Antonio Cassano, Gianni Munari, Miralem Pjanic and Lorenzo Insigne had managed to do so. After the one to Akanji in the 0-2 against Lecce, the Nerazzurri winger’s assists rise to 15 in 24 games. Beyond the numbers, then, there are the goals. Some splendid, like the one against Genoa at San Siro.
