Jakelini: F-Esposito is like the combination of Vieri and Tony, Inter must keep him

In the third round of the Club World Cup, Inter Milan defeated River Plate 2-0, and Francesco Pio Esposito scored a goal for Inter Milan. Italian celebrity Jakelini praised him.

Jakelini served as the DAZN match commentator. He first said: "I admire him very much. His movements are like a real forward. For example, after Barrera passed the ball in the first half, he pretended to shoot and then dribbled through. These are all the instinct actions of the forward. The goal he scored was also very exciting. I would nickname him VierTo, which means half Vieri and half Tony."

Although F-Esposito is only 19 years old, Jakelini believes that he is very mature. "He is like a veteran when playing football. He has a goal feeling and an impressive physical impact. He reminds people of Tony in the penalty area, but he also has the same skills and fierce style of playing in a small space similar to Vieri."

As Arnautovic and Correa leave the team after their contract expires, Inter Milan needs to introduce a new striker this summer. In response, Jakelini said: "Although Taremi and Bonnie were mentioned, since Lautaro already has a deputy like him, Inter should choose to introduce a second striker with stronger mobility. F-Esposito must be kept, he has enough strength and personality, and coach Zivo also knows him very well. It would be a mistake if Inter lets go."

Finally, Jakelini also praised another Inter goal player Bastoni: "After Facheti and Bergomi, he is one of the best defenders in Inter's history. He can defend, attack, assist, and score. He is very comprehensive and is rare in today's football."
