Following his goal and assist against England which guided Croatia to the World Cup final, the world has gone mad for Inter winger Ivan Perisic.
However, those in Italy who have seen him for the past three seasons knew all about his potential, as evidenced by the words of Sky Sports pundit Maurizio Compagnoni: “I expected a great performance from him. Although Perisic does not always perform with continuity, he has amazing potential and the ability to decide matches on his own. Sooner or later, he was due a great performance and it came.
“It hasn’t been a brilliant World Cup from him, but when he plays the way he did yesterday then he is a formidable player. We have often criticised the management of Inter, but in this time we must credit them. They brought in Perisic from Wolfsburg for less than €20 million, and now he is worth quadruple that” Compagnoni concluded.
