Ex Lazio Star Squanders Chance To Prove Himself In Inter Milan 2-1 Udinese Serie A Clash | OneFootball

Joaquin Correa failed to take advantage of his chance to shine for Inter Milan in yesterday’s Serie A clash with Udinese.

As TuttoMercatoWeb highlight, the Argentine received criticism across the board for his performance in the player ratings for the match across Italian media.

Joaquin Correa had been expected to start for Inter Milan in yesterday’s match against Udinese.

With captain Lautaro Martinez out with an injury, the former Lazio forward would have a chance to shine.

However, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi then opted not to start Correa.

The Nerazzurrui coach instead went with Marko Arnautovic in attack.

And on the pitch, it was not terribly hard to see why.

Arnautovic gave Inter exactly the qualities that they needed against a tough, physical Udinese team.

The Austrian battled with centre-backs Jaka Bijol and Thomas Kristensen. Beyond his goal, he kept Inter up the pitch.

It was a different story after Correa came on to replace Arnautovic, however.

The Argentine lacked much of a presence in the physical battle with the Udinese defenders.

This gave up possession too many times. And it allowed the Friulani to push up more and more, as they searched for an equalizer.

Inter’s defense therefore came under a lot of pressure.

And Correa offered the team little in the way of an outlet from the onslaught that Udinese mounted.

Then, it was Correa who allowed Oumar Solet to breeze past him to score the goal that really sparked the late Udinese attack.

The appearance was an opportunity for Joaquin Correa to show that he still has something to give to the Inter cause.

But it was one that the 30-year-old former Lazio and Sevilla start passed up entirely.
