Petar Sucic shines in preseason with Inter Milan under Chivu's guidance

Versatility, identity, and talent: Sucic is emerging as one of Inter Milan’s most promising midfielders in the new hybrid system led by Cristian Chivu

Quality and versatility, without ever losing his own characteristics and identity. Petar Sucic is showing great promise—just like the new Inter Milan under Cristian Chivu.

The young Croatian midfielder made a strong impression during this preseason training camp, and his playing time could end up being more substantial than initially expected.

Tuttosport via Fcinter1908 writes: “Shy at first, then he loosens up and delivers a soft-touch pass like the one to Lautaro. 

The forty-five minutes he played in the first summer friendly with Inter Milan U23 confirmed the good impressions he had already made in the United States during the Club World Cup. 

Still young enough not to have a fixed role, but talented enough to cover several positions—without this being a flaw, at least for now.”

Sucic impresses in multiple roles as Chivu shapes a new Inter Milan

"An Inter Milan side in transition—hybrid and tactical—called to switch formations during the season, and even within matches. 

The challenge for the Romanian coach is to ensure that being adaptable doesn’t mean losing identity."

Chivu can rely on the physical and technical qualities of the player born in Bosnia, who chose to represent the national team of the newly-signed AC Milan star Modric.

At Appiano Gentile, Sucic has been used as a right-sided central midfielder in a 3-5-2 setup, but overseas he has already shown he can handle a two-man midfield just as effectively. And why not? If needed, he could even be deployed as an attacking midfielder.
