How Inter will play
In Tottenham, Eriksen played mostly as an attacking midfielder, mostly in 4-2-3-1. This was the reference form of the Pochettino era and is the favorite scheme of the Danish national team. But he also knows how to play as a left-winger, or as a central midfielder if necessary. In Inter and Conte’s 3-5-2, he will play as an inside midfield, but he could push the coach to change his form: in a hypothetical 3-4-1-2, Conte would have his ’10’.
