On the eve of Inter‘s return to the league at San Siro against Parma, Pizzi, former Nerazzurri player, spoke to TMW Radio, focusing in particular on Pio Esposito.
On the subject of the comparisons surrounding the young striker, Pizzi clarified his view: “It’s the media that make them. Obviously he listens to them, being compared to a great player is always pleasing. At the end of his career, we will talk about Pio Esposito and he will be compared to an emerging youngster.”
The former player then recalled how the boy had already shown clear qualities in the youth sector: “Those who had him knew he had something special. His maturity in the game stands out.” The comparison with Vieri, another figure mentioned in the discussion, serves to highlight a generational difference in impact: “Vieri exploded later, whereas he had a great impact right away.”
Pizzi’s overall judgment is clear: “He plays without fear, we are looking at something important.” Despite competition described as “incredible,” the former Nerazzurri believes that the number of matches on the calendar will guarantee the young striker his own space.
