Record, title, and MVP: Dimarco became the best player in Serie A
Federico Dimarco has been officially recognized as the best player of the season in Italy’s top league. He helped Inter Milan achieve a triumphant season, not only by helping the club win the Scudetto, but also by setting a new record in the league. He handed over 18 assists during the season. This is an absolute record in Serie A, something that had previously been considered impossible for a defender to achieve.
Dimarco’s success was a natural result of his tactical evolution. Under Simone Inzaghi’s system, the role of a lateral defender became crucial. His movements, his ability to shift positions, and his skill in finishing plays allowed Inter to dominate on both flanks and to break through any defensive schemes. No defender in Italian football history has ever demonstrated such effectiveness in the final stages of a match.
The award of “Player of the Season” only confirmed what was already clear on the field. Dimarco reached a level of European football that combines athleticism, technical skills, and stability, which is rare for a defender. His contribution to Inter’s success is measured not only by statistics, but also by his ability to turn the game around at critical moments, to change the game’s pace, and to lead his teammates forward.
The 2023/24 season will forever be remembered in Serie A as a time when a defender became the main orchestrator of attacks. For Dimarco, this isn’t just a finish line; it’s a new starting point. Records are broken, trophies are won, and being recognized as the best player in the league means that he must continue to live up to that reputation.
