Stefan de Vrij

[MusicalMafia]

Beast of a player. Might be MOTM for me, pretty much all more difficult defensive staff was handled by him apart from one intervention by Skriniar and one from Handa.

I want Miranda to play but this guy has instantly become untouchable. And lets not forget that there is more to come knowing how often he scores with his head - goal against Torino wasn't an accident.

WHAT

 

[surripere]

This is one ice cool motherfucker.

 

[thatdude]

This guy is a boss. I was most impressed by him on the ball. Taking difficult balls down with the chest and finding teammates safely with ease. Should have been a much easier game for the CBs but our midfield kept putting us under pressure. He and Skriniar stood up well

We have 3 great CBs to rotate around. Wish we were like this in all positions.

Exactly, I'll just put it this way; imagine Cambiasso in front of De Vrij and Skriniar.

I think our priority in January is a quality midfielder who can read the game and cover all spaces and fucking intercept the fucking ball from the opposition, cause right now Brozo does everything by himself it's ridiculous!

If we cant get Rafinha, i would deffo get Barella. The boy is awesome. If we dont get him soon, Juve will get him as Khedira replacement next year.

dont they play different positions? rafinha is an AM and Barella is a CM? The circle jerk of Rafinha on this foum is unreal

 

[phonk]

Skriniar/De Vrij will be the best CB pairing in the league for the next couple of years, absolutely 0 doubt

 

[wera]

Looks like it, yeah. =)

I don't see any obvious reason why Rafinha can't play CM. I want Rafinha because we have lots of direct players, both in forward and midfield position. We have relatively less ability in passing the ball, which Rafinha excels in.

but thats my point people would rather play Rafinha out of position when you can get another CM who can be a ball passing player. Plus I think with brozo being the tempo and passer in the team its best if we find a different type of MF next to him with that being said someone who is obviously has a first touch and can pass.

They do. Maybe we would do 4-3-3, i think we have players more suited to 4-3-3 rather than 4-2-3-1.

I'd agree Rafi is vastly overrated by many inter fans, but the guy (the type of player) is what Inter needs atm.

I'm sure there were positives, but today vs Cagliari, de Vrij missed two headers from 6 yards and was probably most responsible on the corner that Cagliari scored with a handball.

Not here to bash him, just pointing out some less than stellar moments.

 

[CoolMan44]

As I mentioned, I have no issue with the headers. I can't comment on the goal as I can't remember who was supposed to be guarding the goal-scorer.

In terms of the headers, the fact that this guy is our most dangerous player after set pieces tells a lot - he's excellent in the air. Neither header was easy, as the first was a little too high, and it's not as if he was standing unchallenged in the box with no player 10 metres from him.

I think, in general, when the biggest gripe about a central defender is that he didn't score 2 goals, it means he was excellent (not sure about the Cagliari goal though, once again).

 

[brehme1989]

It was a crap defensive setup in that corner. Our two center backs didn't man mark anyone. Lautaro was sort of man marking Dessena and abandoned him after a bit. Perisic also went too aggressive and left the post to reach the ball when it already was 2 vs 2 on the air.

 

[eduzee]

like the movement of this guy. so calm and accurate.

There is pressure, but it doesn’t affect me.

Exactly, I'll just put it this way; imagine Cambiasso in front of De Vrij and Skriniar.

The solution is called Barella, the modern 2way midfielder with ideal technique, vision and passing skills. Runs a lot and plays with utter determination, resulting in a lot of duels won and balls recovered for the team.

Stefan de Vrij insists the “pressure doesn’t affect me” at Inter and is concerned about the “intensity” of the PSV Eindhoven wingers.

The Nerazzurri continue their Champions League campaign in Eindhoven tomorrow evening after beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-1.

“I feel great at this club, as it’s like a family and I really like it here,” said the Dutch defender in his Press conference.

“I knew this was a huge club with a lot of expectations. There is pressure, but it doesn’t affect me. :datass:
It was tough at the start when results weren’t going our way, as we had many new players like me and others who arrived late due to the World Cup. Now we’re finding our feet.”
De Vrij was playing for Feyenoord during an extraordinary 10-0 defeat to PSV Eindhoven here in October 2010.

“It was one of the ugliest moments of my career, but I won here too. I saw that PSV lost to Barcelona in the last round. They have fast wingers, a centre-forward to lean on and play with great intensity. It won’t be easy for us.”

I have been talking up Barella since last season, I rate him higher than most for a while now. If we have the funds, we must sign him... but as Nainggolan's long term replacement, not as a starting player and definitely not as DM. The kid is still 21, and is just 2 seasons old at a small club in Serie A. Ideally we should allow him a year or two of adjustment and growth to become a regular starter for Inter. Which we can since Nianggolan should be good for a year or two, and probably can teach young Barella a lot of things.

Our DM position is an immediate requirement, like Devious mentioned a "Cambiasso" type player would be brilliant in Jan. But we need a player who is Cambiasso level already, and that is not easy to find. Sarri seems to be wasting Kante's talent at Chelsea by playing him out go position, so if he still loves Vecino (who is more suitable for that role) I wouldn't mind a swap Another option could be Julian Weigl, who seems out of favour at Dortmund. I saw him play (in the stadium) many times 2 years ago and he looked like an awesome talent who was ready for a step up, though I am not sure how ready he is now as he seems to have regressed.

Ideally, I would love this midfield:

Nainggolan (Barella)
Brozovic (Valero) - Kante (Gagliardini)​

 

[brehme1989]

There's no Cambiasso type of player at the moment. If there was one in Europe, everyone would know. As for talents in Argentna/South America, there ae some cases, but if anyone was really close to that level and style, they'd be in Europe by their late teens.

The one talent that might have good chances of becoming a similar player is Gaston Lodico. Looks similar on the ball, but I need to watch him much closer to understand if he 'gets' the game tactically as well as Cambiasso did. I also like Benavidez for that DM spot, but he's not similar to Cambiasso. More like Casemiro I'd say but more comfortable on the ball.

Speaking of which, I'm super excited about Maxi Lovera and that's a player I'd love Inter to get. He'll own that right wing spot for a decade if he adapts to Italian football. Just needs a full season in Argentina and he'll be far greater than the likes of Di Maria.
