A MAGICAL SUMMER FOR INTER PRIMAVERA
Natalino, Biraghi, Nwankwo and Benedetti have shown evidence of the greats throughout summer. Coutinho is not alone.
Milan - Here are the brothers of Coutinho. On the evening in Bari, the 18 year-old talented Brazilian shined less than usual, however, four kids from the youth system were impressive. The derby was the deciding match for the TIM trophy and Massimo Moratti must have been smiling because with the majority of the "big" players were held back, Nwankwo Obiora, Simone Benedetti, Cristiano Biraghi and Felice Natalino were quite good.
A younger Cambiasso The three Italians now will return to Primavera but Nwankwo will remain in the first team. Born in 91, the boy arrived last year from Eco Football Club, a Nigerian team. In a 4-3-3 of Pea, he's always played in front of the defense. Despite the anarchy of African football tactics, Nwankwo has good at listening to orders and very discipline. He did make mistakes but very few considering his position on the field which requires much dedication. A younger Cambiasso, a status that was Rene Krhin's last year, now with Bologna. Although, the lead scout of Inter, Pierluigi Casiraghi, who discovered him last September during World Cup Under 21 in Egypt, sees him better internally like Vieira. Great physic, great personality, has tremendous room for improvement especially in terms of shooting the ball.
A younger Lucio The son of Silvano, who spent 6 years playing for Torino , is Simone Benedetti. A central defender (but could also play on the right) has made for Torino before coming to Inter and for the Azzurrini. He was noted especially in the European Under 16 and World Cup Under 17 where he played with Natalino and formed half of the Azzurrini defense (and not forgetting Dell'Agnello and Crisetig, the record holder for the Under 21). Among all the legends of Benedetti there is also Lucio and the boy could barely handle the excitement of training with a defender whom he admires for the bravery in the air, the grit, the taste of going forward. Benedetti, last season, made the season debut in Serie B with Torino against Citadella and got a 7 in rating. In Bari, he struck Benitez for his great personality with which he was facing Ambrosini, Inzaghi and Ronaldinho.
A younger Grosso Cristiano Biraghi, between the four, is probably the best known player. And his world class goal in the first friendly in American on the 31st of July (3-0 against Manchester United) has been seen around the world. Not everyone knows that he scored with his wrong foot as being a lefty who likes to push forward and especially making crosses. With his role and clean execution, he reminds us of Fabio Grosso. Like his younger teammates, he has the strength in humility. After that goal, there was nothing to mount the head, instead the kid of Cernusco lowers his ears, listens, and starts pedaling. And Benitez takes notes of everything. Born in '92, he arrived at Inter when he was 11 years old and has always followed Inter. This season, we expect to see him in the Primavera but he will definitely meet with the big boys soon.
A younger Criscito Felice Natalino, lastly, is a wildcard for the defense who prefers to push forward on the right. Although he plays on the opposite side but there is Mimmo Criscito in him for the ability to interpret the two phases. With this month with the first team, he was filled with advice by Cambiasso. No coincidence that Inter pulled him from Crotone from the competition of Milan, Genoa and Sampdoria.
