Inter: Bremer, Acerbi and Milenkovic, the comparison

The starting point is that making up for certain sales is never easy, whether we are talking about Stefan De Vrij or Alessandro Bastoni. Of course, in the end they could both remain, but the circumstances push the Inter leaders to name some names to eventually replace the starters. Francesco Acerbi, Gleison Bremer and Nikola Milenkovic are in the front row: with different backgrounds and ages, all three have played at least 30 games in the just-ending Serie A, with their performances in numbers that can help summarize what kind of defenders they are aiming for. the Nerazzurri.

It starts with the tackles won on average for each championship game, which sees the Lazio player behind the other two colleagues, with an index (0.8) which is half that of Milenkovic. If we talk about interceptions there is Bremer who reigns with 3.2, to testify the tactical intelligence of the Brazilian and the enormous steps forward made from the day of his arrival in Italy to today. The others are paired at little more than one interception per match, but the various tactical setups affect individual stats. Also in terms of saves, the Torino player is in charge with 4 interventions per game, but it is precisely for this reason that Bremer was elected the best of the Serie A 2021-2022 in the role: Acerbi recorded an average of 3 saves per game, Milenkovic a little less.

If, on the other hand, we talk about the possession phase, the situation is certainly less defined. Milenkovic stopped at a goal, Bremer scored 3 (plus an assist) and Acerbi 4, with the latter however excelling in setting up the game. The Lazio defender traveled 5.5 long passes per game, clearly detaching the Serbian from Viola at 4.3 and the jewel of Torino at 2.6. It is difficult to determine who is the best, also because the costs of the three also change, from Milenkovic expiring in a year to the almost 50 million euros needed by Bremer. Everything, even the numbers, is being examined by the Inter executives.
