Lionel Messi’s presence at Inter Milan has been blowing hard in the last few days. A series of signs La Pulga – the nickname Messi – will continue his career with Inter began to appear.
First, Messi’s father, Jorge Messi, recently bought a house in the city of Milan. Then, the second sign is the appearance of Messi’s silhouette in one of the promo ads for the Inter Milan vs Napoli match broadcast on the Suning Group’s streaming service, PPTV.
The two signs above prompted the Italian media to aggressively ask Inter elements, namely CEO Beppe Marotta and coach Antonio Conte. However, the statements of the two names above are pessimistic in bringing Messi to the Giuseppe Meazza.
Conte reasoned that it was easier to move the Duomo Cathedral in Milan, rather than bringing Messi to Inter headquarters. Meanwhile, Bepe Marotta said that in the midst of strict Financial Fair Play regulations, Inter needed the president’s help if they wanted to land Messi.
Even so, anything can happen in football. Of course, nobody believed it when Cristiano Ronaldo decided to move to Juventus in the summer of 2018. Because, at that time Ronaldo was living his good times with Real Madrid, including bringing Los Blancos to the 2017-2018 Champions League.
Logically, Ronaldo, who is just in a happy mood, can decide to move to Juventus. What about Messi, who is involved in a conflict with Barcelona president, Josep Maria Bartomeu?
Therefore, the chances of Messi continuing his career at Inter are very large. Moreover, Inter have fond memories of Argentine players, Messi’s home country. Now the question is, what formation will Conte apply if Messi is present?
Conte is predicted not to change his flagship pattern, namely 3-4-1-2. Because with this pattern, Conte can maximize the maximum quality of La Pulga. Messi will be played as a trequartista or playmaker, supporting the duo of Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez.
Messi has worked as a playmaker with Barcelona this season. Because it’s not surprising, Messi’s number of assists has reached 26 this season. This amount is the most than any European footballer this season.
Amazingly, Messi also appeared sharp by coming out as the top scorer of the 2019-2020 Spanish League through a collection of 25 balls. Therefore, it is interesting to wait for Messi’s presence at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.
The following is the forecast for Inter Milan’s formation as Messi is present:
(3-4-1-2): Handanovic; De Vrij, Bastoni, Godin; Candreva, Eriksen, Barella, Biraghi; Messi; Lautaro Martinez, Lukaku.
