Inter, Bellanova: “I remember the Treble, Zanetti my idol”

“Inter? A great emotion that continues day by day ”, signed Raoul Bellanova. So the former Cagliari winger tried to explain to Dazn the sensations and emotions of the first days and the first training sessions with the Nerazzurri shirt, the same one that – as already confessed on several occasions – “I have always cheered since I was a child “. A little less than two weeks in the new Nerazzurri galaxy for the 22-year-old from Rho, who he admitted with a dreamy look that he “has not yet fully realized”.

Nerazzurri heart

The constant smile on his face reveals the Nerazzurri faith beyond any declaration of love, but Bellanova does not hide. “I have been an Interista since I was a child and the best memory I have is the treble, it was incredible. Being in contact with certain champions every day is thrilling. Until recently, before arriving in Serie A, I watched them on television, but today I find them teammates. The truth – began Bellanova – is that it is a continuous emotion and I really hope to give my best and repay the trust given to me by the club ”. A trust that he, a well-known Nerazzurri heart, has earned by passing through the Milan youth teams. “I remember that period well, when you do things without thinking too much about it,” joked the former rossoblù before even acknowledging the goodness of that experience. “If I am here it is also thanks to Milan who believed in me and gave me the opportunity to grow, as well as Cagliari which made me savor Serie A. Of course, if I think about it it is incredible”, continued Bellanova. “It was really a snap of fingers because to play in Serie B and practically relegate to Serie C to be here in a club with huge ambitions is a big leap.”

GROUP AND WORK

It was a moment to settle in and immerse yourself in the new Nerazzurri reality, he confided. “D’Ambrosio was close to me and I immediately bonded with Darmian, my neighbor. Then the others came and I started bonding with everyone. The truth is that they immediately made me feel at ease ”. Now all that remains is to sweat on the pitch and, Bellanova assured, to learn from the many champions alongside, first of all from that Lukaku who is called to supply crosses. “I talked to him about it and we agree that there will be time to stop after training to try and try again. We talked about it after the match the other day and we agree that I will work on it, to understand the timing and all the rest ”. Another one from which to steal some secrets will certainly be Dumfries, owner of that right lane that Bellanova hopes to take one day. “I will certainly have to learn the head shots from him, because he has great timing and has scored several goals. But in reality I have to learn from everyone, because they are great champions with more experience than me. I will try to steal something from everyone ”. Finally Inzaghi, who – confides Bellanova – “immediately struck me because he focuses a lot on young people, he knows how to work very well. He also knows the form well and has valued many players in my role such as Lazzari, Perisic, Dumfries and Darmian ”. If we talk about idols and models, however, the Nerazzurri faith emerges again. “I’ve always been inspired by Zanetti and Maicon, they are my idols”, revealed the 22-year-old from Rho.
