The reason why Conte wants more Vidals and less Eriksens is because his system is based on number of possessions. Not amount on possession that has been calculated for decades, but number. It's a matter of winning the ball back at all times if possible. It tears the opponent apart if they cannot successfully launch an attack and you keep battering them with chances, no matter if they are low quality ones.
Players like Vidal, Radja, Pogba, Milinkovic-Savic, Barella, Brozovic, Rakitic etc win the ball back and know what to do with it to move forward. Conte needs this.
He still wants Vidal of course.
"I told you, I'm not an actor"
Bold of you to assume he won't be playing for Sampdoria on loan by that time.I'm looking to see him acting in one of our creepy christmass type of videos
Do you really call Brozo, valero, gag midfielders? Even relegation teams would have more skilled midfielders than Inter’s midfield last season.That run and pass to Lautaro was something I haven't seen from our midfielders in a long time.
That would have been my favorite goal of the season had it stood.

Idk if you ever watched Rakitic,but he doesnt belong to that group in any way.
I feel you intentionally disagree with the majority just to draw attention.
I liked him against fiore but he looked kinda slow for most of the game. He messed up a few times when he linked up with Lautaro and Barella. I like this guy, when he gets chemistry and find his form he could turn out awesome. I never watch EPL so didnt really knew what to expect. If anything I always thought Dele Alli was Tottenham's main (mvp) midfield guy.
ALso, Sanchez was a disaster in his position. He is a pure striker tbh

Christian Eriksen to Inter was a big move but far from easy to achieve. As we informed you about every stage, every step of an operation that took off in late January. However, all could have been different. According to our information, Juventus started to seriously think about the Danish international in December.
Eriksen has always been appreciated by sporting director Fabio Paratici and represents the ideal player for Maurizio Sarri. But the Bianconeri only took their steps in view of June, seeing as the midfielder's contract was due to expire in the summer.
But the turning point was Juventus' purchase of Dejan Kulusevski. The Nerazzurri management were convinced that they have the Swedish starlet in hand for June and Juventus' surprise move was difficult to digest, which is why Inter wanted to respond in a strong and decisive way.
For this reason, the Nerazzurri decided to fight back and make an effort to sign Eriksen immediately, going to negotiate with Tottenham who turned out to be a very tough nut: a high-level response to the Kulusevski operation on which Inter had been working for some time.
Moreover, Inter avoided that Juve could close the deal with Eriksen on a free transfer for the summer. Paratici's proposal for Christian was ready but Inter chose to close the deal immediately to gift Conte a great player. The first round is over, each team made one move and in the summer, the duel on the transfer market will continue...
STRONG AND DECISIVE response by negotiating for 3 weeks over 5mil euros only to concede the money anyway.
