70 minutes played, little room for a show but the usual standing ovations whenever he touched the ball. The first game as a starterfor Gabriel Barbosa wasn’t brilliant, but certainly positive and he played with a great desire. “A game without any praise, but to see the best side of the Brazilian we need more time.” This is what Gazzetta dello Sport writes in today’s edition. “He arrived with a lot of expectations, someone even told us to expect Ronaldo, but the only thing they have in common is their nationality. At least for now. The fact is that he’s a 20-year old boy that costed nearly 30 million euros, and being left out of the team by three coaches (Mancini, De Boer and Pioli) didn’t help him a lot. If the start of the season for Inter had been less chaotic, things could have been different and we could have seen more of the youngster, yesterday we might have seen the first steps towards a new era for Gabigol in Inter.”
