Inter Milan Muscle Strange Awards Reputation to the Apennines Strongest U21 Star, Two Points Impacts the Prospects of Staying in the Team

Inter Milan has set out for the United States to participate in the Club World Cup.

The photos of two non-staff players (Esposito brothers) and new players (Sucic) in the same frame have sparked heated discussion on social media.

Among them, Pio Esposito's physique is obviously one-size-fits-all than the other two, making him the focus of heated discussion.

Nowadays, European football is increasingly paying attention to physical fitness, especially Serie A.

Serie A tendency to "muscle-making" is caused by various reasons. You need to make it clear and get a long article. Let's just mention it today.

The actual combat of last season proves that the referees in Serie A are increasingly encouraging confrontation. This is a big trend. In the words of Italian media, "When the Football Association and the referees try to build Serie A into a new Norwegian Premier League, the Italian team is slaughtered by the Norwegian team with a big score, what's the strange thing?"

It can be foreseen that before the substantial changes in Italian football, in the next few years, young players with skills and lack of physical fitness will become more and more difficult to get on and survive in Serie A. On the contrary, players with physical fitness will be more likely to play even if they almost get into the feet. The problem of

is also obvious in Inter Milan.

In recent years, Inter Milan has introduced many "semi-finished new stars".

A new star like Bisek who is strong in physical condition but has a poor consciousness and game reading quickly embarked on the channel of rapid appreciation.

For Aslani, who is known for passing accuracy, but has a very difficult road to progress.

Under such a background, if Inter Milan can do its best to cultivate new stars with strong physical strength and need to make up for their skills, the chance of success may be greater. Pio Esposito is a good seedling with strong physical fitness. He is described as a "superstar embryo" and "the most promising U21 player in the Apennines", which is well-founded.

Regarding Pio, there are two things worth talking about recently.

First, after Pio ended his loan period in Spezia, he ran to the team's fans to say goodbye. The whole stand sang "Pio's Song" with the lyrics "He scored a goal, the guy who showed his muscles (Ha segnato il ragazzo che mostra i muscoli)." After scoring a goal, Pio often went to the fan stands to show his muscles, and occasionally took off his shirt to show off his tendons, which made him described by Spezia fans as a "Hulk" and "muscle monster".

Pio won the game in the Reserve League, but it was because of his physical strength. However, in recent years, there have been many examples of people who are super-physical when they were in the youth team, but they lost their physical advantages after becoming an adult team, so they became the most popular. Pio is different. His physical advantages are as strong as adult team competitions, which is rare.

Furthermore, the statistical agency recently issued a series of scout reports on Pio, pointing out that he is the first in all U21 players in the mainstream European leagues (including secondary leagues), including the most goals, the most shots, the most headers, the most fouls, and the most successful tops.

Among them, Pio's most prominent longboard is three points.

First, the scoring methods are comprehensive. It mainly relies on the right foot to score goals, but the header is 7 goals and the weak foot (left foot) is also quite impressive.

Furthermore, the air combat capability is strong. Pio is the player with the most headers and shots in Serie B and the third most successful in the top scorer. This air combat trait can not only be used for offense, but is also very critical when defending set pieces and corner kicks.

Third, the competition is very involved. What I personally appreciate most is that he not only scores goals, ferries, and grabs points, but also has great pressure, pressing, and participating in defense. Last season, the frequency of his snatching ball rights in the "Occurrence Three Zones" in every game is similar to Lautaro's data at Inter Milan last season. It should be noted that Lautaro is known as "striking the front".

Of course, Pio also has his shortcomings. First of all, ejaculation needs to be tempered.

As a center, Pio's 94% of his shots last season were completed in the penalty area, and his shots had a positive rate of 33% and a conversion rate of 14.29%, which were both a bit low. Last season, he ranked first and far ahead in the Serie B's "waste gold opportunities" list.

Furthermore, the accuracy of the ball under the feet and the ability to deal with pressing need to be improved.

Pio was in Serie B last season, with an average of 35 touches per game and conceded 11.4 goals. His overall confrontation data is good, but his success rate of confrontation with the ball under his feet is only 47%. His pass success rate in his own half is very high, but when his opponent faces pressing in half, his pass success rate is very low.

In summary, as one of the biggest highlights of Inter Milan in this Club World Cup, Pio Esposito attracted widespread attention.

Not long ago, Inter Milan renewed his contract with Pio until 2030. Although the outside world covets a lot, Milan Sports Daily pointed out that Inter Milan will not let it leave the team easily.

Inter Milan plans two paths this summer: either, let Pio go to a Serie A team to find opportunities to play, accumulate Serie A experience, and take it back next year. Or, just keep Pio as the rotation striker.

In view of Inter Milan's poor public opinion environment, and Pio does have the shortcomings of shooting skills and foot accuracy yet to be crafted, Inter Milan has more concerns to directly use him to rotate. Most transfer experts believe that the possibility of rising stars continuing to rent out is greater. After all, in recent years, many Inter Milan star have been fooled by their fans, or scolded to delete their social media accounts.

However, Italian media pointed out that "if Pio shines in the Club World Cup, then the situation is a different matter."

Then let's wait and see.
