Legendary former Inter defender Beppe Bergomi believes that present Nerazzurri centre-back Alessandro Bastoni is well-equipped for the trendy sport even when he’s not a like-for-like substitute for Giorgio Chiellini within the Italian nationwide workforce.
Speaking to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, Bergomi gave the view that the 23-year-old’s extra possession-oriented and proactive model of play is well-suited to the trendy sport.
Bastoni began in protection for the Azzurri in yesterday night’s Nations league matchup towards Germany, after Chiellini had began alongside Leonardo Bonucci within the “Finalissima” match towards Argentina.
The change represents one thing of a sea change, with Chiellini able to bow out from the worldwide sport having already introduced his plan to depart from Juventus after greater than a decade and a half with the Bianconeri.
Bastoni seems to be to be the participant who will inherit the Azzurri captain’s spot within the backline, and Bergomi feels that whereas he’s not the identical kind of participant he can do properly within the position however.
“He has personality,” he stated of Bastoni, “he’ll never be Chiellini in defense, he will never have the same strength or concentration in marking, but he plays with the ball and creates numerical superiority. He ‘s an important player for Inter and for the national team in the modern game.”
