Matteo Darmian To Start In Defense For Inter Vs Venezia

Pavard and Bisseck are the two main starting options on the right side of Inter’s back three.

However, there is another player who is more than capable of filling in their.

Veteran former Manchester United and Parma defender Darmian is versatile enough to play either at wingback or in the back three.

It was on the right side of the defense that the Italian international started throughout Inter’s run to the 2023 Champions League final.
