Former Inter defender Daniele Adani feels that Inter-bound goalkeeper Andre Onana is prone to lapses in concentration, but that this is not a huge worry for the player.
Speaking on Christian Vieri’s Twitch channel, as reported by FCInterNews, Adani suggested that the 25-year-old can become overconfident due to his talent but that this is a problem for a lot of players.
Onana will come in with significant pressure as the designated long-term successor to Samir Handanovic when he arrives from Ajax on a free transfer in the summer.
The Cameroonian has already demonstrated his formidable gifts for the Dutch champions over several seasons, and also established himself as the main man in goal for his country, so he should have the ability to thrive at Inter.
However, some high-profile wobbles for his country at the African Cup of Nations have continued to raise doubts about his suitability for the Nerazzurri.
Adani called Onana an “Excellent goalkeeper. And, like all top goalkeepers, many times they lose focus because they already have everything.”
“The one thing that can compromise his performance is the mental decline that can come from an excess of confidence in his own abilities,” he added.
He emphasized that “Onana is 25, still extremely young for a goalkeeper. A goalkeeper built in the Ajax style of play, but he doesn’t just make a difference with his feet, he is a true goalkeeper.”
