Edy Reja spoke in length to transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio’ website GianlucaDiMarzio.com on new Inter player Antonio Candreva, here is an excerpt where he details what he sees at the 1987 wingers strengths and weaknesses:
“He’s a complete player, he really is. A jump man, who gives superiority, has a great foot on him, and makes it up and down the pitch. He’s also improved in defence. He has technique, speed, progression and resistance. A complete player, Inter have made a big deal. It demonstrates all their strength.”
Weaknesses?… “Maybe his head, the rest is pure talent. Wingers are made, not born. He played on the left and wanted to return and kick in the door. I made him understand that it would be better to start from the right and get to the bottom and send a cross in. Antonio has an extraordinary foot, I’ve always liked it, it was clear even when at Udinese.”

just keep our expectation low mates.
cause hernanes was a complete player too, and was from lazio too…
but, I’ll say this is very good signing
Hernanes was already having difficulties during the end of his Lazio spell and came to Inter when his career projectory was heading downwards. Candreva, on the other hand, had a great season and was very important in Italy’s Euro 2016 squad. I think this will be different.
Its reasonable to expect him to make an impact. He is not a worldclass player who will suddenly transform the team, but he should be a big step up from the garbage players Inter had playing on the right side last season.
Hernanes: brazilian
Candreva: italian
I think we all know how brazilian usually have weak mentality, they are not disciplined enough and tend to fuck up their careers in their final years [Adriano, Ronaldinho, etc.] while italians are ageing like high quality wine.
Don’t worry, Candreva has a very strong mentality that will eventually prevail.
u make good point,
and just sad about last game.
Sorry nothing to do with this article, but why dont we buy rodriguez? He had a clause in his contract 25mio until june 30, we should be able to buy him since everyone is leaving wolfsburg
Thanks for encouraging, mr. Reja. 🙂
now we have a real winger so it means no more Naga-Danilo blind-crossing?
So his weakness is his head, this case remind me of guarin.. hopefully he won’t flop here
I dont think he means his brain. He means more like head ball lol
Anyway, i miss that bird shooter. Any news on him at china? Or strucked by panda?
he’s happy there, it seems.
lol may he enjoy his spell there. in a solemnity without any media exposes
I don’t miss him @ ALL and I’m glad he left us. He’s doing fine in that crappy championship – scored a deflected shot and beat Suning!

he shot better.. or a coincidence :))
“Wingers are made, not born”. It’s sound that Candreva has great sportmanship?
Okay, i already love it!!
