Inter won their twenty-first scudetto also thanks to the decisive plays of Federico Dimarco. The Nerazzurri's attacking winger has been a protagonist and doesn't want to stop in view of the Italian Cup final.
I numeri straordinari con la maglia dell'Inter
Without a doubt he is enjoying an extraordinary season with the Nerazzurri shirt: he is the first defender to exceed 20 goal participations in a single Serie A season since 2004/2005. Dimarco's assists are 18, like the record holders in the top 5 European leagues: with him Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United) and Michael Olise (Bayern Munich). Numbers of an attacking midfielder or number 10, comparable to the best wingers in the world.
Furthermore, Federico is the player who, in this championship, has served the most winning passes both from open play (10) and from dead balls (7). Undisputed leader on the left wing, he surpassed the previous record for assists in a single Serie A season (16, signed by Alejandro Gomez). His playing time with Chivu has increased (33 games played out of 35 so far, 44 this season), his technical leadership has emerged. The Romanian coach highlighted his skills and was able to bring out the best version of Dimarco.
Inter, l'asse Dimarco-Thuram
Most of these crosses and these opportunities benefited Marcus Thuram, the player who received the most successful passes in this tournament from the left-handed flank (five, including the beautiful one against Torino). The synergy between the two was evident and the soft, strong, cut and precise crosses triggered the physical strength of the French striker on several occasions.
The same age as Barella and Lautaro, he is certainly to be considered a pillar of Chivu's group, a possible captain for years to come, should any teammate decide to change shirts. He doesn't think twice about leaving his house and enjoys this sensational season
