Pirelli's Executive Vice President, Marco Tronchetti Provera , spoke to Radio Rai Gr Parlamento , during the programme La Politica nel Pallone , to comment on the performance of Ionuț Radu , Venezia's goalkeeper on loan from Inter, who was the protagonist in the draw against Napoli.
“His saves were almost a nemesis compared to that match against Bologna in 2022, where something that should never happen to a goalkeeper happened. It has remained in the hearts of Inter fans as a difficult move to digest ,” said Tronchetti Provera, referring to the error that cost Inter precious points in the Scudetto race. “Then yesterday, and already in the previous match, he proved he is a great goalkeeper. He looked like Julio Cesar , and in fact he made the Venezia result .”
Not just Radu. The entrepreneur also drew a parallel between Inter's current attacking duo and two Treble-winning icons : "Thuram and Lautaro remind me of Eto'o and Milito in some ways ; there's that connection. Eto'o was extraordinary because he also played defense, and he had nuanced crosses and passes that only he could see. Milito, on the other hand, was always there."
This article is about Radu and his performance, but I don't understand why the vice president compared the current players with those of the past, maybe there are reasons that have not been said. Anyway, the words about him are interesting.
