The double ex and the match-scudetto: “Nicolò is my favorite for intensity and quality. Zambo is the result of a market masterpiece”
Of matches like this, of battles that are worth a piece of the Scudetto, Salvatore Bagni has played and won many, both with the Inter shirt and with the Inter shirt. Always there, there in the middle (to put it in Ligabue), where the dispute is often decided.
And once again it could be one of the duels in the midfield that breaks the balance. Nicolò Barella against Zambo Anguissa, the turbos of Inzaghi and Spalletti.
Bagni, Inter-Napoli separated by 11 points: more demerits than Inzaghi’s men or the merits of the Spalletti gang?
“Napoli is the surprise of the championship, there’s not much to say. Until the break he showed no weaknesses, having revolutionized the team in the summer. Inter were my favorites on the eve of the championship, but today eleven points behind in fifteen days is enormous. Which Napoli have shown they deserve”.
For the next challenge, can Barella be the key man?
“Nicolò is my favorite player, I’m not hiding. He does everything with great intensity and quality, both in attack and defense. A total midfielder, one of the strongest in the world in the role. When he was bought by Inter, many only analyzed the price paid, but a finished and finished player arrived in Milan, ready for the big stage in a big club. And the results have been seen”.
Anguissa, on the other hand, hardly anyone knew him…
“Crazy, in England they almost snubbed him while Napoli made a masterpiece on the market by securing him on loan to be able to evaluate him well and then redeeming him for 15 million: practically a gift”.
What strikes you about Zambo?
“He has running, an overflowing physique and good feet: he uses both with quality. He was missing something in the last twenty meters and Spalletti gave it to him. Today he is more convinced in his abilities and is also appreciated in the goal area, while in his career he had always scored very little ”.
Anguissa made the World Cup. How important is it for Barella to stay out of the competition?
“On a personal level, a lot. The World Cup is an experience that enriches you, but if we make it a question of a showcase, Barella didn’t need to show off: his qualities are already recognized all over the world ”.
