Marco Tardelli, on the 'Eriksen Case': “I could have done more”

Christian Eriksen has gone in a year from being an illusion to a problem for Inter Milan. The Danish arrived on January 28, 2020 in Milan and was presented at La Scala in style. Now, he is in the media spotlight for the different crossovers of statements that have him as the protagonist and it seems that the intention of both the player and the club to break the relationship that unites them.

The last to speak was Marco Tardelli, who was Italian midfielder and Inter coach in 2000-01, who stated that “Maybe they didn't give him the opportunities given to others, but he could have done more.”

“Probably the problem is that he was less used to the tactic.”

Tardelli has not been the only one to comment on the Eriksen situation in recent days, as Danish coach Kasper Hjulmand defended his star from the 'EkstraBladet' newspaper. “He has played very little in 2020. That he is so much on the bench is a waste quality. I hope and I think he can play more this year, “says the coach.

With Tottenham, PSG and Ajax behind him, the Danish footballer tries to find a way out after failing to fit in with the team led by Antonio Conte, who no longer has him and whose treatment is less and less cordial.

“They didn't meet Eriksen. There was no empathy. Maybe they didn't give him the opportunities given to others, but he could have done more. A shame to keep him on the bench. Probably the problem is that he was less used to the tactic. In the Premier League, despite the many foreign coaches, only Guardiola has really changed something, “said Tardelli in La Gazzetta, trying to find an explanation for the little prominence of the Danish footballer in his team.
