Eriksen is not happy at Inter. The player himself has been ruminating on his situation in each public appearance, especially every time he goes out to play with his team. “I am not going to spend the whole autumn on the bench; I hope that is not Conte's intention,” said the former Tottenham player at the break just a month ago. Eriksen was presented with great fanfare as a major reinforcement at La Scala in Milan, but since then his stint at the Lombard club has gone downhill. At the end of last year, Conte gave explanations as to why he was disappearing from the field.
Against Real Madrid he did not play a minute and the feeling is that he increasingly embodies the role of secondary. The suspicion was that as soon as Conte had Vidal and Barella and Sensi recover their best level, the Dane had his minutes numbered. This is how it is being, although it comes from being a starter in the last two league games, although it did not exceed 58 'in any of them.
Eriksen is observed lax tactical discipline, a very measured dose of intensity and distractions in the defensive phase. He's an artist, but Conte is not worth that in his idea of a high-tempo team that he conceives. The situation is viewed with concern in Denmark. His star is in question and a legend has come to pass. None other than Michael Laudrup. Nobody better than him, who lived a similar experience. The former of Barcelona and Real Madrid, first went through Juventus (1985-1989). It was a stay of four seasons where he shone, if anything, in his debut. From there between the injuries and the maladjustment, it got worse.
Now he analyzes what is happening to Eriksen, who landed more fired up than he did when he signed for the Turin team. “I don't think he is adapting to Italian football. There may be many other things behind this … Mental and cultural things. But I can't believe that he cannot adapt tactically. I think all parties will look for something new,” explains the legend Danish on TV3.
“I don't understand what is wrong from a tactical point of view. Behind him he has two good midfielders, while in front of him he has two very strong forwards, not counting the outside players,” analyzes Laudrup, who fears a negative spiral for his compatriot if everything remains the same. “I do not know if it is possible to go back in this situation. Above all, if he continues playing so little … If the local press begins to write that there is nothing to do, perhaps some information from the club will also arrive,” he explains, hinting that at a given moment it may be Inter itself that urges to target him to get him out of the way. And it is that the critics towards him in Italy are already important.
