Inter Milan have high expectations for new signing Yann Sommer. When the former Bundesliga pro made his debut, however, not everything went smoothly.
Wals-Siezenheim.
Goalkeeper Yann Sommer made a mixed first appearance after leaving Bayern Munich for Inter Milan.
The 34-year-old Swiss international conceded three goals in a 4-3 friendly at RB Salzburg and then received criticism from Italy.
Penalty incurred
Already in the fifth minute Sommer brought down the attacking Karim Konaté, but the fouled attacker missed the penalty. A little later, Sommer saved with a foot on the edge of the penalty area, but the ball bounced so far that Konaté was able to shoot into the empty goal from 15 meters from the left. In addition, the goalkeeper did not always look safe in other situations, but he also stopped several attempts by the Austrians. “Inter’s new number 1 can’t make a top save over 90 minutes,” said Swiss “Blick” about the national goalkeeper’s debut.
“Basically, he didn’t have the security that one would expect from someone who management had been chasing for a long time,” wrote the “Gazzetta dello Sport” and gave it a grade of five on a scale with a maximum of ten. Sommer is to replace Cameroonian André Onana, who has moved to Manchester United, at Champions League finalist Inter. “Happy with my debut for Inter,” Sommer wrote on Instagram. (dpa)
