At 2:45 am on August 26, Inter Milan played against Torino at home in the first round of the Serie A. Inter Milan's main midfielder Calhanoglu will be suspended for accumulating yellow cards in this round. Aslani is about to transfer and leave the team. Vlatesi has just recovered from injury and can only be on standby, while Zelinski has not recovered from his best form. "Milan Sports" said that in this round of Serie A, Inter Milan's midfield combination will be Barrera Susic Mkhitaryan.

In the past, Barrera Cialhanolu Mkhitaryan has always been a three-mile combination that Inter Milan cannot beat, but now Inter Milan's new coach Ziwo has the opportunity to make tactical adjustments. In the first round of Serie A, Zivo is preparing to arrange Susic to play in the center midfielder, which is a very eye-catching choice. Another more conservative option is to let Barrera play in the middle of the midfield, which was a possible option for Inter Milan in the past few years when Calhanoglu was absent.

Sucic, 21, is a Croatian international. He made 32 appearances for Dynamo Zagreb last season, scoring 7 goals and assisting 4 times. Inter Milan spent 14 million euros to sign Susic this summer. Previously, Susic played mainly on both sides of the midfield in the Club World Cup and pre-season warm-up matches this summer. But in the warm-up match of Inter Milan 2-0 against Olympiacos last weekend, Susic was placed in the middle of the midfield. That was the last warm-up match before the start of Inter Milan's new season, which can be said to be an important sign: coach Zivo is preparing to let Susic replace Cialhanoglu in the first round of Serie A.

When he was in the middle of the midfield, Susic's defense was praised. His ability to read games and his ability to regain the ball was good, but it seemed that the organization and scheduling were not smooth enough, and there was still a long way to go.

Susic used to being more accustomed to the right midfield position, and he played mainly in Dynamo Zagreb. In addition, Susic can also adapt to the double midfield formation, which he once played in the Croatian national team. It can be said that Susic can bring great tactical flexibility and help Zivo create a new Inter Milan.
