Serie A Talked about Sunday’s Derby d’Italia
Ronaldo Nazario is full of admiration for Inter right wing fullback Achraf Hakimi, which he believes is one of the Nerazzurris best notes in the past decade.
The 22-year-old made the switch to Italy in a move of 40 million euros from Real Madrid last summer, after a successful two-year loan at Borussia Dortmund.
‘He is an extraordinary player Real Madrid made a mistake by losing, ‘ Ronaldo said La Gazzetta dello Sport when asked Achraf.
“From time to time I think, ‘Ronnie, imagine you and Hakimi: we would have gone fast. ‘
“He is one of Interbest successes in the [transfer] market in the last ten years. ‘
Sunday will see Inter face Juventus in the Derby d’Italia at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, but Ronaldo do not think this is an important match in terms of the destination of the title.
“With more than half of the season yet to play? No, it only applies to self-esteem, to understand how prepared you are to fight at that level,” Ronaldo reacted.
“[But] do not rule [AC] Milan from the title race. They surprise me; they play offensive football, with quality. ‘
Lautaro Martinez is one of the stars of this Inter team, and the Brazilian was lyrical about the 23-year-old.
“I like him because he’s not afraid of anything,” Ronaldo noticed.
“When he plays, he’s deadly: you get distracted for a moment and he does not forgive you. Because he has a skill for football, and not much. He is a pure attacker.”
