Inter legend Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Bergomi has spoken on Christian Eriksen time so far with Inter following his January transfer window arrival.

The Danish national team attacking midfielder joined the club in a circa €20 million deal from Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur but has not exactly set the world alight since he joined the club.

Eriksen has struggled to adapt to manager Antonio Conte’s 3-5-2 system as he is being forced to play out of position and he has not lived up to expectations so far yet.

“It is a question that they have already asked me many times. I have always answered in the same way and time has proved me right,” he remarked in an interview with Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia earlier on today.

“The Dane is different from all the other midfielders in the squad, he has qualities, but my doubts have always been about his position on the field.

“Up to now I have been right because it is difficult to put him in the middle three. Conte is trying to find him a different position, he needs to be close to the attackers.”

Bergomi, who spent his entire playing career on Inter’s books, then went on to reveal that there were a few times throughout his career when he could have left for other clubs.

“There were a few times. One came when Trapattoni was in charge of Juventus and then the others came in 1992 when Lazio and Roma came in but in the end I remained.”

Bergomi played for Inter between 1979 and 1999 and made no less than 754 appearances across all competitions for the club, which is the second most of all players in Inter history with only Javier Zanetti having played more for the club.
