"I think he has been consistent, I think he's been at Inter for like 7 seasons and doing well no matter who the coach is. He has helped Inter to probably to win the league this season by his consistency and understanding how to read the game. But I think the limit is there, international level, this is it."

The Italian championship is very nice and difficult, with excellent coaches and very strong teams. For circumstances that I cannot know, the Italian national team is not making, however, at the club level, I have a lot of respect for Italy.

The world of Italian football is in mourning after the news that Giovanni Galeone has passed away at the age of 84. The former player and coach of Pescara and Napoli, among many others, finally lost a long and brave battle with illness. His impact on the world of calcio is something that perhaps does not get spoken about enough.

Francesco Pio Esposito is quickly emerging as one of the brightest young strikers in Italian football. Still only 20 years old, the Inter Milan forward has wasted no time in building a reputation as a physically dominant, technically gifted and tactically intelligent attacker. After impressing on loan at Spezia, where he became a key figure in their Serie B promotion push last season, Esposito has now started making his mark back at his boyhood club.
