Inter
Inter start their Serie A title defence with an away game against Genoa on Saturday afternoon. The Nerazzurri are seen as No. 1 favourites to win yet another Scudetto, but the season is quite long. The club chiefs have signed a permanent deal with talented midfielder Davide Frattesi, while Porto ace Mehdi Taremi and Piotr Zielinski from Napoli to the squad. Veteran Alexis Sanchez is no longer part of the team.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, kicked off their Coppa Italia campaign with a 1-0 win over Reggiana, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Inter. In their last meeting in the Italian top flight Inter defeated Genoa 2-1, which is yet another reason why away win should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be summer signing Vitinha, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
Highlighted Player (Hakan Calhanoglu):
Hakan Calhanoglu is another one in the long line of Turkish footballers who were born in Germany, so it is hardly surprising he came to prominence thanks to his performances in Bundesliga. The attacking midfielder with great vision and very good goalscoring record started his professional career at Karlsruher, scoring impressive 17 goals in 50 league outings to earn a move to Bundesliga side Hamburg.
The spell at Imtech Arena was merely a stepping stone for bigger things as 11 goals in his debut top flight campaign persuaded Bayer Leverkusen to splash nearly €15 million on his services. That proved a very good investment as Calhanoglu continued the rich vein of form, and it is now a matter of time before he joins one of European powerhouses.
The midfield maestro had a bright start to his career in the Turkey national team, scoring 5 goals in first 16 caps, and chances are he will become a leader for Milli Takim in the foreseeable future.
