Legendary former Nerazzurri captain Beppe Bergomi feels that Genoa’s Morten Frendrup would be “the perfect signing” for Inter Milan.
The former defender gave his thoughts in today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInter1908.
Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu is reportedly working to change the formation.
The 44-year-old wants to move on from the 3-5-2 shape that Inter have been playing in for the last six years. In its place, he is aiming to implement a 3-4-2-1 system with three attackers.
This would necessarily mean a chance to the midfield.
Therefore, the demands on the double pivot will be quite different in comparison to what the players in the midfield trio have done under Simone Inzaghi in the last few years.
Bergomi Calls Morten Frendrup “The Perfect Signing” For Inter

Former Inter captain Beppe Bergomi is expecting an attacking trio of “Thuram on the right, Lautaro up top, and Lookman on the left.”
“They need to figure out how to build a team around that,” the former captain warned.
“I’m not questioning his quality, obviously,” Bergomi made clear. “He’s scored over fifty goals in the last three years, and he’s one of the best forwards in Serie A.”
“But finding balance is crucial.”
“To get those three on the pitch at the same time, they need to change the composition of the midfield,” Bergomi argued.
“Under Gasperini, Lookman rarely dropped back to help out in defense,” he continued.
“And under Chivu, you shouldn’t imagine him playing on the wing. He’s a player who thrives in tight spaces, great at shooting on goal.”
“But in midfield, Inter are playing with number tens who have… adapted.”
“Particularly Calhanogu and Mkhitaryan,” Bergomi noted.
The former captain argued that “Morten Frendrup would be perfect.”
“Running, the ability to get back and help out, tackling,” Bergomi summarized the Dane’s style of play.
“We need that type of player,” he argued. “At Genoa, in a two-man central midfield, he’s covered the entire pitch for two seasons in a row.”
“This would be the ideal profile for us,” Bergomi said.
“On a tactical level, it’s something to consider.”
“Furthermore, when you sign someone like [Lookman], a Europa League champion who’s hit double figures for three seasons in Serie A, he’s hardly going to be left out.”
“And neither are Thuram or Lautaro,” noted Bergmo.
“So I’d ask: Can you leave someone like Lookman can you bench him for two or three matches? For me, it would be difficult.”
