Inter legend Ivan Cordoba was full of praise for current Inter defender Milan Skriniar when he spoke to Inter TV on the sidelines of a ‘Fondacion Colombia te quiere’ event.

“He is one that maybe you do not hear much about during the game but what he does on the field counts. He can become a great leader, he is just at the beginning but with his actions and what he does on the field, the others can take confidence and know that there is a great defender to rely on in him.

“I send him my compliments, it has been a great season for him and I hope that he will have many others moments of great satisfaction.”

The 23-year-old Slovakian has made 38 appearances in his debut season with the Nerazzurri, where he has scored four goals and helped Inter toward a number of clean sheets along the way.
