As told by Gazzetta dello Sport, Federico Dimarco is undoubtedly going through the best period of his career in the Inter jersey. Today, he shines more than ever, driven by a newfound serenity and a confidence that the field transforms into decisive performances. The symbol of this exceptional season remains his masterful free kick in Dortmund, in the Champions League: a perfect left shot, above the wall, out of reach of the goalkeeper, which broke the deadlock in a match that had long been locked before the 2-0 victory. When the match gets complicated, Dimarco simplifies everything.
Under the direction of Cristian Chivu, the Italian is literally reborn. More used, more often starting over 90 minutes, he found the continuity that he lacked before. A development that he does not hesitate to indirectly link to the post-Inzaghi era, explaining how much confidence and mental stability influence his performance. The numbers speak for him: 6 goals and 7 assists in all competitions, making him the only defender in the five major European championships to exceed the mark of five goals and five assists this season.
But Dimarco is not just about statistics. He has become a true tactical all-rounder: generous, proactive, tireless, capable of scoring like an attacker and creating like a leader. In Serie A, only Lautaro, Calhanoglu and Thuram have scored more than him, while no one delivers more assists.
Above all, Chivu praises his mentality: maturity, desire to work and a taste for responsibility, like when he wore the captain’s armband for the first time. Trained at Inter, returned “home” in 2021 after several loans, Dimarco is now much more than a left back: he has become the man who opens the safes, the technical and emotional leader of an ambitious Inter.
