As the season enters the second half of the season, Vlatesi's future at Inter Milan is actually not clear: in terms of appearance picks, he will be behind Aslani and Zelinsky, and a substitute among substitutes. In more than a dozen games from January to February, even though head coach Inzaghi was still insisting on a big rotation, Vlatesi still failed to get much playing time, and there was only one starting game in total.

After all, everyone knows the threat of his forward attack, but Inter Milan really dares not use him. From a tactical perspective, Inter Milan's midfield is a true connection with the past and future, and relies on technical elements to flow through the entire team. Energy kids like Barrera who like to go in front can only stay in the backcourt for most of the time to help the team sort out their offenses. Therefore, in the winter window, many Serie A teams such as Roma and Naples expressed their interest in Vratessi, and the Italian midfielder also found Inzaghi and expressed their demands for leaving the team.

However, after entering March, the Italian midfielder still has a lot more opportunities to play. In the match against Feyenoord, Vlatesi got the starting opportunity again. Although his performance was average and he was away from the rhythm of the team, he felt like he was going backwards after all. In the first game after the national team match day, Flatesi also scored a goal against Udinese, helping the Nerazzurri to score three points.

It was also through the inspection of these games that Inzaghi discovered that as long as Vlatesi is equipped with a frontcourt that can serve as a fulcrum and the midfielder completes the transfer behind him, the Italian can automatically upgrade to Italian cannons at the right time. Entering April, Flatessi won three starts, but his truly shiny game was when he was against Bayern in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. After a long-distance run, he received Augusto's assist in front of the goal and scored the final goal. For him, when his opponent's physical fitness entered a bottleneck period, the rhythm of the game turned into a mess, which may be the most suitable moment for him to perform.

So, in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona, ​​Vlatesi appeared as a substitute surprise again. In the 99th minute, Taremi headed the ball and Turam Jr. calmly passed the ball. Through Taremi's hitting the wall, Vlatesi appeared in the right position again, and scored the final goal with a push shot-there is no doubt about his big heart. In the moment in front of the shot, Vlatesi even made a fake shot.

After all, for Vratesy, he really needs to prove himself again in a tough battle. After scoring the goal, Vlatesi fell to the ground due to discomfort. At that time, Inzaghi was about to replace Aslani, but he still stood up and ended the overtime. In an interview after the game, Henry asked him what he was thinking at the moment of scoring the goal. Vlatesi still looked outspoken: "If I can't score here, I'm done!"

For Inter Milan fans, after scoring the ultimate goal in two consecutive Champions League knockout rounds, Vlatesi has become a symbol in their hearts. However, for the Italian midfielder himself, he has to consider his career. These two goals can improve his sense of belonging to Inter Milan, but also increase his determination to go out alone. This summer, Flatesi's future is still undecided.
