Speaking to Sportitalia after Italy Under 20’s 1-0 win over Portugal in the Elite League, Lavelli talked about the present and future with the Nerazzurri. The Inter striker answered clearly both about the match just played and about his personal ambitions.
On the match against Portugal, Lavelli did not hide the difficulties encountered: “It was definitely a tough game, we expected it, but we managed to have the right aggression, so in the end we brought it home and we’re happy.” A victory achieved with character, in a match fought until the end.
The young striker then went into detail about his development path with the Nerazzurri club: “I am under contract with Inter, so I am following this path hoping to get as high as possible and as of today I am very happy.” His main reference is Esposito, who grew through a long apprenticeship in Serie B before establishing himself consistently: “I definitely look up to him a lot, he had a splendid journey, working his way up through Serie B and today he is one of the most important strikers for Inter and the National Team, so I definitely look up to him a lot.”
In recent weeks Lavelli has had the chance to train with the first team, an opportunity he describes with enthusiasm. Pressed on how he is experiencing these weeks, he replied: “Wonderful, I am available for the First Team as long as needed, and then if I have to go down with the U23 I will be just as available.” A player who divides his time between the two groups, ready to seize every opportunity useful for his growth.
