Inter Milan starlet Francesco Pio Esposito was phenomenal in last night’s clash between Italy and Norway, but Alessandro Bastoni failed to impress.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 20-year-old striker was the Azzurri’s best player on the pitch.
Italy took what should have been an all-important early lead through Francesco Pio Esposito.
Indeed, the young center-forward netted his first goal at San Siro to put Gennaro Gattuso’s side in front after only 11 minutes.
Furthermore, Federico Dimarco provided yet another assist, setting up his clubmate for his third senior goal for his country.

Norway’s breathtaking second-half performance overshadowed Esposito’s superb opening goal.
Unfortunately, Gattuso’s charges collapsed after the break, with Erling Haaland running the show in the second 45 minutes.
Indeed, the Manchester City megastar bagged a second-half double, inspiring his side to a sensational 4-1 victory.
Moreover, Inter ace Alessandro Bastoni fell victim to Haaland’s red-hot form, losing a head-to-head battle against one of Europe’s most prolific strikers.
Well you replied… So, I guess you do…
Italy’s collapse was absolutely shocking, and Bastonis performance was very worrying, if we ever want to consider switching to a back 4!! Barella was completely ineffective, and Frattesi was completely anonymous, much like he is so often for Inter….his value is plummeting if we want to sell in January….
Of the entire Italy team, only Pio and DiMarco could leave the pitch with their heads held high… worrying times for the Azzurri….
Serie a is weak.. Let’s just call a spade a spade… Italy at risk of missing out on 3 consecutive world cups.. I mean what other proof do fans here need… Ooh well… I can not bend one’s delusion, but facts never lie…
Will you give it a rest?? I know Serie A isn’t what it used to be, but I support Inter, and it’s as simple as that! It has nothing to do with delusion- I’ll take an IQ test against you any day of the week!! You want to rant away like always, never having anything good to say, then that’s fine, but please don’t be so delusion as to think I give a shite!!
