Mehdi Taremi @ Inter Milan Season 2024/2025

[Artaxerxes]

My point is that we need to support our players. Go on X and other social media and you see Iranians cursing at him, saying that Pulisic owns him etc. Remember how our players were cussed out before the WC (playing into the Akhund's hands?). He doesn't get passes like Lautaro and Thuram do. They convert on every 5-6 chances. That is normal. You have to be a superhuman to score on every opportunity. Players like Bastoni, DiMarco, Barella all go for glory. Very rarely do they give Mehdi the service he deserves. In that game against Belgrade he created his own chances and converted. So you have to be fair. Inter is not well-suited for Mehdi. At Porto, players like Luis Diaz looked for him and gave him good passes. If he were in a team like AC Milan or Juventus, he would benefit the team much more because he is a playmaker and sometimes even plays as a holding forward, kind of like Giroud or Memphis Depay. He is extremely versatile. So, it's an over-simplifcation judging him by statistics - purely by goals and assists (and missed shots). I do think Inzaghi sees this unlike many Inter fans and the media. He needs some service, otherwise it is very hard to score in this rigid way that Inter likes to play.

I agree whit alot of what you are saying here and you are right, but my point is he needs to start converting the chanses he gets , the sitters in particular to get his stats and confidence up if he wants to stay at Inter next year.

The more he misses the less his teammates will look for him.

Anyway, we both wants succes for him and Iran and i really hope to see him banging in goals again and that akhoonds gets flushed down the toilet this year

Agreed on some of the points although we don't know how things would've turned out for him at say AC Milan or Juventus, the grass is always greener on the other side and this is all speculation. At Porto, he was younger, he was one of their go to strikers and he was playing against weaker opposition most of the time. He has to be able to adapt, time's running out, He needs to convert the easy ones if he wants his teammates to trust him and look for him the way they look for Thuram and Lautaro, there's no way around that.

On the bench. Pretty slow/boring match so far

[diz]

^as soon as I posted that, Martinez scores lol

[FeLFeL]

Lautaro is on the score sheet off a great cross from Bastoni 12 mins in

on bench, as expected

honestly Overall, his last run out screamed Mostly of Fatigue ....!! which is very normal for a high work-rate player on the wrong side of 30 at such high level of competition..!
it just aint easy playing every 4-5 days, while meanwhile training almost everyday and frequently traveling long distances in between game, sometimes half-way across the world in unfamiliar/uncomfortable settings with the intense levels of media and fan high expectation and other stressful pressures that comes with playing in an elite EU club with perhaps most congested season especially in relation to their squad quality depth..!!

today's benching actually would be a welcome rest ...! had he started and forced to play 90 in a likely contentious game, he coulda well risked a serious injury ..!?
for reference look at Azmoun pooping out already in a near Rec league playing a game at most once a week or so ..!

The more I watch Inter, the more I feel that Taremi has his work cut out. Yes, they make chances but how many of them are deadly? Odd Martinez magic at one end and a world class save by Somner at the other. The rest are diagonal passes in midfield, shots into Row Z and Khaleh-Kherseh with keeper and the back 3. Rarely do you see what I call a clever pass -one that carves the midfield, fools the opposition and ends up in an 18-6 yard box?

I can only imagine this system is based on Inzaghi instructions and no one can express themselves out of his norm and instructions.

true, it's a Game Tactic largely focused on Keeping Possession,(thus requiring much work rate and movement W/O the ball from players in order to make passing triangles for it to work all over the pitch) then off course defending in large numbers as a team when outa possession ..!
Inter also gives Building it from the back a whole new meaning (i mean literally ... when they face congestions up front they dont hesitate to take it all the way back to Keeper, and doing so very frequently during games..!! )
essentially forcing their opponents into risk pouring large numbers into their half of the pitch to stop them, thus leaving them susceptible to counters for goals..!!

Damn Dumb-fries is on fire 🔥 .... dude scoring left n right in all sorts of ways..!! lets hope Inza dont adapt him to Striker position ...!! nevermind his goal denied by VAR due to offside in build up

[BacheLot]

Tmart scored a brilliant goal in first half , but also has pissed away some 3 1v1 great chances so far in 2nd
Marcus just missed an absolute sitter , similar to that he provided for Mehdi the other game..!!

let see if our boo boys start taking the pisss on them for once and give our boy a rest on that front

Agreed. It begs the question why play with two strikers? In such a system it is better to play with one holding striker with the two attacking midfielders pouring forward catching the opposition on the counter.

one of the strikers often seems to be just a striker in name in this system....! ?
one is assigned with much more defensive and build up play participation duties than the other..!! its usually Mehdi when partnered with either marcus or tmart ....! and Lauti when he is partnered with marcus..!

[BacheLot]

Mehdi coming in for Lauti min 81

[KasraKhan]

Mehdi on in the 82nd minute.
