One of the best surprises for Inter fans after the first league match against Torino is without a doubt Petar Sucic. The Croatian midfielder impressed the entire San Siro crowd with high-quality plays and received great compliments from both Chivu and the press.
Below are the ratings for Sucic from the main Italian sports newspapers the day after Inter-Torino:
LA GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT 8 – “Ladies and gentlemen, Petar, the shy Croatian who always wants the ball. There’s nothing he can’t do: recoveries, long passes, shots, and assists.”
CORRIERE DELLO SPORT 7.5 – “He delivers the assist for Thuram, anticipating the play, and overall passes the San Siro test with flying colors.”
TUTTOSPORT 7.5 – “The only new face in the starting eleven is… a great novelty. The Croatian impresses, plays as a right midfielder, but goes forward, supports the action, shoots on goal, and even provides a Modric-style assist.”
