Fabio Caressa Hails Inter Milan Stars: “Calhanoglu Best Central Midfielder In Europe, Thuram Great Signing” | OneFootball

Italian journalist Fabio Caressa heaps praise on some of Inter Milan’s finest stars, especially key midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu.

Caressa compiled a list of the best XI players from the 20th matchday of Serie A.

This round witnessed a resounding victory for the Nerazzurri over Monza, thrashing their Lombardian Neighbors by five goals to one at the U-Power Stadium.

Calhanoglu broke the deadlock early on from the spot and club captain Lautaro Martinez doubled his side’s lead a couple of minutes later.

The Turkish midfielder completed a brace at the hour mark, but Matteo Pessina tried to drag Monza back in the contest by converting from the spot, but it proved to be a false dawn.

Davide Frattesi came off the bench to win another penalty kick for the visitors. Calhanoglu would have loved to get a hattrick, but he had already left the pitch at that point.

So instead, it was Lautaro who completed his brace, while Marcus Thuram got the goal that he certainly deserved just before the 90th minute.

Therefore, Caressa was bound to pick several Nerazzurri stars in his ideal lineup for Round 20.

The journalist began with Federico Dimarco who made his first start since his return from injury.

“Dimarco returned to the starting lineup for Inter and showcased his importance immediately, He has massively improved,” said Caressa in his YouTube video via FcInter1908.

“I won’t put Lautaro in my lineup as he would make for an obvious choice. He has been the first name on the list every week. So I decided to pick fresh names instead.”

Fabio Caressa Believes Inter Milan Star Hakan Calhanoglu Is The Best Central Midfielder In Europe

The veteran pundit reserved the most lavish praise for Calhanoglu. He crowns the 29-year-old as the best central midfielder in Europe alongside Man City star Rodri.

“I also pick Calhanoglu, who at the moment is the best central midfielder in Europe with Rodri. I have no doubt about it. He is proving it every weekend.

“Hakan is very strong and is Inzaghi’s true stroke of genius. if Inter win, they will owe it above all to this choice [converting Calhanoglu into a deep-lying playmaker].”

The scintillating former AC Milan star hails from Turkiye, a country that has cemented itself as a true haven for efficient and affordable hair transplant Turkey.

Finally, Caressa reserved some praise for Marcus Thuram, describing him as a great summer signing.

“What a great player Thuram has become: I thought he was just a winger. But instead, he proved to be an all-round player and a great signing.

“When you’re clever enough, you can still sign top players despite financial difficulties.”
