Legendary former Inter Milan midfielder Dejan Stankovic feels that his sons Aleksandar and Filip are “on the right path.”
The Serbian 2010 Treble winner spoke to Italian broadcaster DAZN, via FCInterNews.
Stankovic is certainly a player with a lasting legacy at Inter.
The Serb, who had also made a name for himself in Serie A playing for Lazio, spent a decade wearing the Nerazzurri shirt.
During that time, Stankovic was a key player for Inter.
There were many highlights and trophies in Stankovic’s Inter career. But the crowning moment was undoubtedly the 2010 European Treble, an achievement in which he played a key part.
Now, the former midfielder’s two sons are also starting to forge their own paths.
21-year-old goalkeeper Filip is currently on loan at Sampdoria. He is aiming to help the Blucerchiati return to Serie A after two impressive seasons with Dutch side Volendam.
And 18-year-old midfielder Aleksandar is currently starring for Inter’s Primavera side.
Dejan Stankovic: Filip & Aleksandar On The Right Path At Inter
“I have to take this opportunity to give a shout-out to a huge Interista,” Stankovic said. “My son Aleksandar, who’s watching me from Milan.”
The former midfielder joked that “He won’t let me sleep if I don’t mention him.”
“I send him a warm hug,” Stankovic said.
The Serb noted that “He’s playing well.”
“He can still do better,” Stankovic said of his 18-year-old son. “But he’s on the right path, as with Filip.”
And Stankovic also had big words of praise for current Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu.
“He’s impressing me a lot,” he said of the 29-year-old.
“He’s the key to Inter’s game.”
Stankovic said of Calhanoglu that “The ball always leaves his foor with quality.”
“And he’s everywhere on the pitch too,” he said of the Turkish internation. “Even though many had questioned his defensive skills.”
“Between him and Lautaro, I would take Calhanoglu,” the Treble-winner proclaimed. With all due respect to the Argentine.”
