Capello backs Frattesi to secure a regular spot at Inter Milan

Frattesi has been exceptional for Italy this past week.

And Capello says: “Frattesi is the classic mezzala who has the sense for when to make a forward run.

“He has an eye for goal, and many other characteristics that are important for a team.

“Against France he hit the crossbar from a good position. But he still scored, and forced a miraculous save out of (Mike) Maignan.

“I believe he’s fundamental for Italy’s style of play.

“But even if (Inter coach Simone) Inzaghi has (Nicolo) Barella and (Henrikh) Mkhitaryan, I’m convinced that this season he’ll have quite a few more opportunities to show his worth at the Nerazzurri.”
