Numbers and plays on the field confirm the feeling: “Esposito is important – said Toro at the end of the match – he works and makes himself available. I’m happy with him”
The “Pi-La” lights the torch that illuminates the ranking. Up front, in the lead, already winter champions, is Pio Esposito and Lautaro’s Inter. One delivers the assist and the other finishes after dribbling past the man. Mister Chivu’s prodigal son and Serie A’s top scorer with 11 goals. Pio himself made him do three, the twenty-year-old who plays on the edge and fits in. The one who touches few balls, elbows and bangs, but who always sends his captain to the goal. The perfect shoulder. “Esposito is important – said Lautaro at the end of the match – he works and makes himself available. I’m happy, as I am with Bonny and Thuram”.
third assist
—
Behind Lautaro’s goal – sharp dribbling on Kristensen, Karlstrom kept at bay with his body and the winger straight into the corner – there was a great job by Pio. The zoom is on the movement: the blue calls for Zielinski’s verticalization with a shot to the near post, straight towards the goal. Lautaro, a little behind, knows Esposito and his plays, so he stays in tow to fit in behind him. Pio’s first goal comes out for the arrival of the captain, who is good at building the goal. Third assist from the striker in Serie A after those against Pisa and Atalanta. The fourth also considering the Champions League. In total, taking into account his other teammates, he collected five in 24 games. With Udinese he finished with 17 positive passes on 25 balls touched. Three fouls suffered, four duels won, three goals of his own. The work of a center forward who also improves those around him. Lautaro thanks.
