The uniqueness of Pio Esposito It is explained with a handful of Acerbi words. Last Sunday, in the second half of the challenge against Under 23, the central recalled the young Inter’s tip and told him to stay tall: “He remains there and protects the ball”. Esposito knows how to do it well. This is its best quality. He demonstrated it in La Spezia, in the World Cup and before even in the youth, when Chivu entrusted him with the captain’s band at 16 in the spring. After seeing him mark a hat -trick in the first game he sentenced: “It is of another pasta”.

Today he enjoys it in the first team. Pio scored at the first summer test against the Under 23. He collected a cross by Dimarco and scratched the goalkeeper from inside the area, his garden. Last year he scored 19 goals in Serie B including the playoffs. He convinced Inter to blind it until 2030 and to tear off the offers relating to another loan: “Pio remains here”. Ready to play his chances with the coach who believed it since the first day. A few weeks ago, in the press room, on the day that opened the Interista vintage, he spent important words: “Pio will be the future of the Italian national team. You will enjoy it for a long time for several years”. Together with Giovanni Leoni, the most searched defensive center of the market. Meanwhile, Inter enjoys Esposito, who grew up in interesting and weaned at the peak, where he made himself great and also goleador.

Esposito is a area center forward. Just analyze his goals to understand that we are talking about a pure 9. Against River, in the World Cup, he checked the sphere with an oriented stop and then kicked on the goal, electrocuting the goalkeeper. Rests praise. Some reminded Bobo Vieri, but Chivu has always tried to dribble every combination: “He has great margins and is aware of it, but we must continue to do a job on him. I know he will keep his feet on the ground”. 3-4-2-1 can favor him. Against the Under 23 he detected Lautaro and played there, as a high summit. Behind him were Thuram and Zaleski. The rain of midfielders could enhance it even more. In D’Angelo’s Spezia it was the offensive lighthouse of 3-5-2. He alternated next to more mobile tips such as Di Serio, Soleri or Falcinelli. In 3-4-2-1 it would play as the only tip, as an alternative to Captain Lautaro. One with whom he can also play together, as already happened at the World Cup against River Plate. A joker for all situations.
