Walter Zenga proposed two Italian goalkeepers for Inter
Walter Zenga, former great goalkeeper at Inter, wants an Italian goalkeeper for Chivu's team and proposed two names: Marco Carnesecchi, from Atalanta, and Guglielmo Vicario, from Tottenham.
“I'd like an Italian goalkeeper after Sommer. I'll give you two names: Carnesecchi – who already plays for a big club like Atalanta – and Vicario, who is currently fighting to save relegation from the Premier League with Tottenham”said Zenga, the former FCSB coach, to Sky Sports, quoted by fcinter1908.it.
Walter Zenga has commented on speculation in Italy regarding a tactical change at Inter and offered his own view on the team's future.
“If Inter were to change the system, how many players would they have to replace? Do you put Dimarco in the line of four defenders, as a full-back? Who would become the two central midfielders? It is not that simple to change a group that, in my opinion, already needs 4 or 5 changes, that is, the players at the end of the contract,” said Zenga.
