He could hardly have hoped for a better way to make his first-team debut. Assane Demoya Gnoukouri came on for Gary Medel in the final minutes of Inter’s 3-0 success over Verona and helped the Nerazzurri see out the game.

Afterwards the 18-year-old Ivorian midfielder shared his delight with Inter Channel: “I’m thrilled but I know I have to work even harder now.”

He was then asked about Roberto Mancini: “What advice did the gaffer give me? He told me to stay calm on the ball.”
