The goalkeeper of the moment in Serie B is Francesco Bardi. In Novara, he is definitively the protagonist, he saved two penalties in yesterday’s match against Padova trained by his former coach at Inter’s Primavera: Fulvio Pea. Shortly, Inter will handle Bardi’s future as he returns to Inter at the end of the season. Bardi will then play a leading role in Devi Mangia’s U-21 national team. If Barcelona really were to make crazy bid for Handanovic, Francesco could come to Milan to stay. In an interview with Tuttosport, he received a question about this, and just the thought of it made him smile: “At the moment I am only thinking about finishing the season in the best possible way with Novara, I don’t want to think about the future. Then, I personally think that Handanovic will stay at Inter.”
The comparisons with Samir is a source of pride for Bardi: “Just the fact that I’m compared to a great goalkeeper like him is a source of pride for me, as is being owned by one of the most prestigious clubs in the world.”
In Novara, everything has gone great, “Yes, I’ve enjoyed it a lot, both the teammates and the city. The fans have welcomed me in the best way and I feel their warmth and welcome, so I wouldn’t have any problems with staying another season in Novara, it’s a club with a prominent organization. But again, right now I don’t want to think about next season, but to finish this one in the best way possible.”
Finally, he talked about being a supporter of Inter, rumors that places him in Juventus and his idol Gigi Buffon: “It’s normal that I sympathize with Inter, but as I said before, I also watch Juventus’ matches because there my idol is playing: Gigi Buffon.”
