At the microphones of Cronache di Spogliatoio, journalist Fabrizio Biasin commented on the performance of some Inter players after Italy’s victory against France.
About Esposito, Biasin was direct: “There was no need for Italy-France to understand that Pio Esposito is a striker destined to do great things. Surely it’s a match that says a lot, but for me he didn’t really need to show off: he is already a striker who has proven to be worthy of the starting shirt for the National Team, waiting for him to become so at Inter as well.”
The journalist then focused on Barella, explaining the reasons why the midfielder does not always manage to express his highest level: “If he doesn’t play at his level it’s because he tends to do the work of others as well: it’s in his nature to try to lend a hand where there are problems.” Biasin then added that the midfielder often ended up correcting the mistakes of Diouf or Bisseck, with the result that all that running took away some of his sharpness.
However, the journalist’s overall assessment of Barella was positive: “These are excesses of generosity from a player I would never take off the field. Too many people think he’s normal, but he’s not a normal player.”
