The thirsty Manchester United have learned to make a fortune this summer. Compared with the last time they quickly signed Ibrahimovic and Bailey, their transfer operation this summer seems to be stuck in maltose, signing a Lukaku is soft and hard for half a month, and now they are caught in the tearing of Inter Milan, and it is Inter Milan's all-round warrior Perisic.
For the author, most of the wingers who can move freely on the flanks are relatively short players, Manchester City's David Silva, Arsenal's Bellerin, Real Madrid's Marcelo and former Barca flying wing Alves are not tall and burly players, Perisic, who brushed a good score on the flanks in the 16/17 season, is an important puzzle to help Inter Milan play offensive football, and his height of more than one hundred and eighty centimeters also makes him a "giant" among the wingers in the author's mind.
The 28-year-old Perisic is a big deal. Born in Split, he spent most of his time in German teams, most of his career is full of Tactical Awareness and Physical Reserves of German Football, shrewd playing methods have benefited him a lot in Wolfburg and Dortmund, and it is precisely the reason why he organized attacks in wolfburg midfield, after two Bundesliga seasons, Perisic, who is over 180cm tall, successfully joined Inter Milan and became an important pawn for Inter Milan to return to blood.
Perisic in his first Serie A season delivered 7 goals and 6 assists in 34 games, but unfortunately Inter milan's results in that season were not good enough, only to finish fourth in the league, and the embarrassment of the team's league goals becoming the lowest in the history of the year masked the Croatian talent.
In the second season, Perisic staged "Attack on the Giants" on the flanks – the tall man became Inter's indispensable wing killer. Inter Milan won 5-2 against Udinese in May, with Perisic playing his best performance of the season, assisting Brozovic Eder to complete the goal and scoring a goal in the first half to help the team extend the score. Unfortunately, he scored only one goal in that game, slightly inferior to Eder in the scoring, but his performance has long attracted the attention of various giants, inter Milan ranked seventh after the season, but Perisic's full season explosion also helped the team to become the fifth-highest team in Serie A - trailing Juve with only five goals.
Veteran Valencia came on the pitch to brush the most crosses in the team, Manchester United if the introduction of Perisic will have more tactical options, coupled with Mourinho also mentioned in a recent interview that the future three-back play, it is likely to need to reuse the attack and advancement of the wing, Perisic's wing ability can play to its strengths.
Although Perisic's assists are not outstanding in Serie A, what can make Manchester United struggle to pursue is his strong ability to cover the side and the ability to advance the attack. In the past season, the weak attack of Manchester United relied on two sides to create a cross to threaten the opponent's goal, but even so, but the entire team only veteran Valencia on the side of the hard support, captain Rooney also had a lot of crosses, unfortunately left the team early, it can be seen that the weak attack of Manchester United urgently need this Croatian "giant".
Is 40 million euros expensive?
Chelsea's 26-year-old Marcus Alonso, who was in the Premier League in 2017, has been quoted for £21m by half as Perisic's, and the value of an attacking player is indeed more expensive than a player in other positions and functions, and his height and impact and tireless running ability may be the reason why he can play multiple positions on the wing. And in terms of the state of the past years, the state of Perisic at the golden age of 28 does not need to adapt to the environment for a long time like Mkhitaryan and Pogba, there are not many players with their own instructions, and the ones that come to war are even rarer, even if it is 40 million euros, Manchester United This money is worth the money.
