"Since joining Inter in the 2021-22 season, Dimarco is one of only four defenders to have been involved in more than 40 goals in Europe's top five leagues (41 - 18 goals and 23 assists), along with Jeremie Frimpong (49), Jonathan Clauss (48) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (42). In addition, only Frimpong (48 with Bayer Leverkusen before joining Liverpool) has been involved in more goals for a single club than Dimarco (41, like Alexander-Arnold with Liverpool) during this period among defenders."
"And Chivu, who rotated his squad ahead of Sunday's huge tussle with title rivals Napoli, was delighted by the attitude of his players. "In Serie A, there are no games you can underestimate; dangers are always around the corner," he told Sky Sports Italia. "It's not easy to break their line with 10 players behind the ball, so we tried to get into the box with crosses and shots from distance. "What really matters, though, is the win, and the players' attitude, which was exceptional.""
Inter defeated Parma 2-0 away to move four points clear at the top of Serie A. The visitors dominated the first half, hitting the woodwork twice before Federico Dimarco opened the scoring with a right-footed finish shortly before halftime. Dimarco has been involved in 41 goals since joining Inter in 2021-22, one of only four defenders to exceed 40 in Europe's top five leagues. Marcus Thuram sealed the win deep into stoppage time. Inter kept a ninth clean sheet, with Manuel Akanji and the defensive unit singled out for praise.
