On the occasion of the latest episode of Viva El Futbol, a passionate Antonio Cassano returned to speak about Inter. Following the incredible performance displayed by Marko Arnautovic in the last league match against Cagliari, the former footballer devoted an extensive commentary precisely to that game and to the talent of the Austrian forward, whom he greatly admires.
Discussing the former Bologna player along with Adani, Cassano enthusiastically called for Arnautovic’s renewal with Inter: Do you remember, Lele, when I said that Arnautovic was stronger than Kean, a fantastic player? Do you remember that? I always had a soft spot for this guy; there is always someone who grumbles and bothers him. Arnautovic is brilliant, he reminds me of a smaller Ibrahimović; he has shown only 50% of his talent. He delivered a magnificent pass to Lautaro, it was an incredible goal—technical, powerful, and high-quality—on his weaker foot. He makes brilliant plays, and if you give him confidence, he’s truly an amazing player. Arnautovic easily beats Vlahovic 10-0; some people might disagree, but if he expresses his potential, I genuinely prefer him to Thuram. I have always felt this way. I watched him even when he played in the Netherlands, and he performs exceptionally with Austria. He is a brilliant footballer. I am crazy about him; like myself, who also wasted my talent, he so far realized only 50% of his potential. Arnautovic absolutely must be renewed.
