A young Inter heart. Alessandro Bastoni at 21, the boy prodigy who gave Parma the victory at Inter, scoring the decisive goal at the end. Then he kissed the shirt. I have always been an Inter player, for me it is a dream to be here. The classic goal of the ex, because Sticks it exploded in Parma, where Inter loaned it last year and where it matured. There was a lot of skepticism when the Nerazzurri club bought it, still very young from Atalanta spending 31 million. As often happens to young talents, the boy from ’99 was sent to Parma, where he found coach D’Aversa, one very similar to Conte, however the two coaches are very close friends. In Emilia he matured, practically playing an entire season as a starter.

He undermined Godin
On his return to Inter Milan, Bastoni should have been only a possible exchange pawn for market operations, then became Godin’s reserve. The expert defender, former captain of Uruguay and Atletico Madrid, seemed immovable, Bastoni ousted him. The 21-year-old approached football following in the footsteps of Pope Nicola, a former full-back from Cremona. With his head, as demonstrated in Parma, and above all with a very polite left-handed, Bastoni is a product of the Atalanta nursery and owes a great deal to Gasperini. Conte valued him and focused on him, inserting him on the left in the three defense of Inter and transforming him from reserve to fixed holder (17 appearances and 2 goals in the championship). The coach of the National team, Roberto Mancini, has also noticed his talent. With the blue shirt he has not yet made his debut, but has already been called up for an internship in Italy a few months ago. Alessandro has to improve in terms of malice, but he has play and personality. I value an Italian football heritage: it will be a column of Inter in the next few years, explained Conte a few months ago.

The accident and the force
Bastoni made his Serie A debut when he was not yet of age. He was 17 when Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini sent him on the pitch against Samp. As often happens, the boy’s growth had occurred much earlier: on October 25, 2015. He was still a boy when he lost his friend Agnese in a car accident. Since then, after an initial blackout I have found a strength in me that I did not know, say Bastoni of that terrible experience. Now everything behind or above the shoulders of this boy-boy tall 1 meter and 90, with educated feet and a fine head. It represents our future, says Conte. With a contract that expires in June 2023, for now with an engagement of 850 thousand euros but which will be retouched and brought to 900 thousand from the next with extension until 2024. There is to be believed Conte.
