The clue that came to me
Alessandro Potenza - the angel who will save our central defence problems in the future.
He is a fantastic player. I could see that just from the first game I watched with him (Chievo - Juventus). And that says alot. Only player I can remember who sold me right away was Frey(his talent, not perfomances) Nesta, old Ronaldo, J. Zanetti and Ronaldinho. So basically if you believe in such superstition he will join the absolute creme of football soon.
He is one of the best readers of the game I ever saw. In this aspect he might even become better than Nesta. He is pretty fast and tackles very well. So defencevely he is a true diamond talent. Offencevely I didn't get to see him for obvious reasons. He is playing in Chievo for God's sakes!
I look forward to see that part of his game...
I already consider him on the level of Andrade and he has become one of my favourite players. God knows what future this kid might have. Only the sky is the limit for him if he sets his sight there. I'm already nervous he will get some sort of injury to ruin it all. In maybe 3-4-5 years he will have fully matured.
I like his character because he gave Olivera what he deserved. He could've taken it further but was extremely proffesional for a lad on his age to keep calm. It remains clear if he wanted to Olivera would lie in a hospital bed with Moggi waiting in the cafeteria to anxiously try and drop some doping his medicine when the doctors are away.
I want him back from loan this summer and make him play next to Cordoba right away. No bullshit and bollocks. Direct promotion to second choice in central defence. You may say this is too early and that he needs to mature. Could be true, but my intuition tells me he will be ready after this season to play for a team like Inter.
No need to go out and buy Luisao or Krøldrup in the summer. I would only accept absolute top class star central defender. And that limits my choices to about 10 players. If we can get such a player too, fine. That would be acceptable. Any less class players will only fill up unnecesary space in Burdisso and Potenza's development.
Another thing about this player: How on the blue earth is it possible to be so versatile??? LB, CB, RB and even defensive midfielder. The fact that he can fullfill the first 4 of these roles to perfection is a warrant of class itself. He is a bright hope for Inter and football itself who without bad luck will turn into a star with time. We can be proud to say that we created this player from our factory.
Moratti, take him in the summer and let him stay here. Mancini, make him play next to Cordoba!
That's pretty much all my comments on this guy that I can remember right now.
,he made an excellent performance against Juve , only a shame he didn't beat the shit out of Olivera :fero: but at least you can't keep saying Inter youngsters are sissies who congratulate rivals after losing , Forza Potenza !
