Capello Praises Inter Star Pio Esposito as 'True Player'

Former Real Madrid and AC Milan coach Fabio Capello has publicly praised Inter Milan forward Pio Esposito, calling him a 'true player' and highlighting his technical skills, link‑up play and aerial ability. Capello noted that Esposito can complement Italy’s other strikers, such as Kean and Retegui, and that his presence on the pitch made the national side play better.

Capello credited Esposito for improving Italy’s performance in the World Cup playoff against Northern Ireland, where the 20‑year‑old made a notable cameo off the bench. The former coach also praised Kean’s goal, but emphasized that Esposito’s contribution was key to the team’s success. With his talent already attracting attention at Inter and on the international stage, Esposito’s future looks bright.
