Italy’s Under 18 team beat Serbia U18 2-0 in a friendly last night, with Rome based newspaper the Corriere dello Sport identifying Inter striker Sebastiano Esposito as a key player in the victory.
The report details how the 17-year-old forward played a strong 70 minutes for his team, with silky smooth movements, strong and precise shots and good passing.
The Nerazzurri starlet scored in the first half to help the Azzurrini to victory. His performance last night, combined with his impressive pre-season preparations, is one of the reasons Antonio Conte has placed so much trust in the teenager.
Esposito has been given the number 30 shirt and is part of the Inter first team, despite his young age. Conte is insistent that the player isn’t only being brought along as a future investment, detailing how the teenage striker can help the Nerazzurri as they look to topple Juventus’ domestic dominance.
Inter are currently joint top of the table with a perfect record after two games, alongside Juventus and Torino.
