“Pinamonti has done an excellent job,” he said, “he’s done well, he’s scored twelve goals and I hope he’ll score more.”

“I think he’s suited us as well we have him,” he added,. “He’s grown a lot here, he has completed his game, he’s a very serious young man.”

“In my opinion he’ll keep growing,” Accardi added of Pinamonti, “he has great prospects and must not stop.”
