Inter can't do without Bastoni, 10 goals conceded when substituted

At Inter, there is a piece of information that scares Simone Inzaghi in the final sprint for the Italian championship title.

Without Alessandro Bastoni on the pitch, the Blues have conceded almost 1/3 of their total goals this year. A statistic that confirms the importance of the Blues defender in off-ball play, not just in creating plays.

And what's more, he won't be available for Inter's match against Roma on Saturday. An absence that undermines the solidity of the defensive department at a delicate moment of the season and complicates the black and blues' plans in the race for the championship title.

Bastoni's numbers this season speak for themselves. Especially the goals conceded when he is not on the pitch. On 10 occasions after his substitution, Inter have conceded a goal, outside of stoppage time.

The first time was against Milan, on September 22, and then it was repeated with Udinese, Torino, Parma, Fiorentina, Juventus, Napoli twice, again with Parma and finally with Bologna.

Something that actually does not seem to be a coincidence and that has begun to seriously worry coach Inzaghi. Without Bastoni on the field, Inter is pulling the team a lot, also due to the fact that it is the last minutes of the matches and they lose grit and height in the area.

He is more fragile in marking, in the air and in dangerous situations in front of goalkeeper Zomer. A problem that he must solve for the duel against Ranieri's Roma, since apart from him, Mkhitaryan will also be missing. The left wing will be a "hole".
