Former Inter forward Alvaro Recoba attempted to cheer up his Italian followers and friends with a post on his Instagram page yesterday.

The Uruguayan forward made 261 appearances for Inter across all competitions. In that time, he scored 71 goals and provided 24 assists.

Recoba posted a video of himself singing the song ‘Il ragazzo della via Gluck’, by Adriano Celentano, in order to cheer up his followers.

He tagged multiple former teammates, such as Nicola Ventola, Christian Vieri, Lele Adani and Marco Materazzi, and said: “I hug all my Italian friends.”
