Frey: “If I were at Inter I wouldn’t sell Onana”

There is the legendary Juventus ten with Del Piero written in the stands. And Alex is on the pitch. There is the 19 of Lecce in the audience. And Chevanton is on the turf. There is Totti’s immortal yellow and red shirt that stands out among the nostalgics present at the “Paolo Mazza”. And Francesco is still there, on the trocar inventing magic. But there are also the 6 of Ungari from Modena, the 20 of Bierhoff with red and black stripes, the 18 of Batistuta when the Argentine won the Scudetto in the capital and the 9 of Ronaldo, the phenomenon, signed by Inter. Operation Nostalgia has brought the beauty of football back to the stands (the passion of the fans) and the recent history of Italian football to the field, the one that gave the creeps to those who are now starting to have some white hair. But not only. Many young people flocked to Ferrara to see live a generation of phenomena, led not only by Del Piero and Totti but also by Milito and Di Natale, Chevanton and Fiore, Galante and Frey. Chills for the over 13,000 who flocked to Emilia Romagna to review a football that was, still capable of giving the emotions of the time. And there was no shortage of goals in a match that ended 4-3 for the team led by Del Piero (in the black jacket) against that of Totti (in the white shirt). On the net Milito, Del Piero on penalty, Pizarro and Chevanton (braces) and De Ceglie.

At the end of the match, Sebastien Frey spoke about Onana and Maignan, goalkeepers for Inter and Milan: “To date, I believe that Maignan can be placed among the five best in the world in interpreting the position. We must not forget that he arrived in Milan after having won a Scudetto at Lille. With the Rossoneri team he is completing his growth. I consider him a young – great goalkeeper. If I had to choose between him and Courtois, now, I would take the Belgian because he has been proving for many years that he can compete at very high level. But I’m sure Mike will have a great career too.” Then space for his considerations on Inter and Onana: “If I were in the Nerazzurri club, I wouldn’t deprive myself of it. Onana has not only shown that he is a great athlete in his role but also that he knows how to exercise leadership which, perhaps, had previously been lacking in that locker room. I got to talk to him during a charity event and I immediately noticed his charisma. He’s always the first to celebrate victories, he knows how to stay in the group and takes on great responsibilities. We’ll see how this transfer market story ends but I would keep it pink and not give in to the flattery of the realities knocking on the door”.
