Santon hyllad av Uefa
Saxat från uefa.com:
"Inspired by FC Internazionale Milano defender Davide Santon's eye-catching UEFA Champions League debut against Manchester United FC a fortnight ago, uefa.com picks out ten of the best youngsters from teams in the last 16 making a mark in their first season in the competition."
Davide Santon (FC Internazionale Milano)
When you are a right-footed teenager playing as a left-back at a top Italian club, comparisons with the great Paolo Maldini come easy. Eighteen-year-old Santon, nicknamed 'Il Bambino' by his coach José Mourinho, does not fear such high expectations. His admission test to the UEFA Champions League was against United's Cristiano Ronaldo; Santon passed it with top marks and the praise of both managers ringing in his ears. "He is not a promising player, he is already a great player," said Mourinho, who also gave 18-year-old striker Mario Balotelli his competition debut during the group stage.

Kommentar: Stort. Mycket stort. Underbart att se att det lönar sig att satsa lite extra på ungdomsakademin. Frågan är bara vem som tar steget upp nästa säsong från primavera. Jag hade gärna sett Mattia Destro, men med tanke på Acquafrescas förväntade "återkomst" tror jag inte att det händer.

Som sagt, grymt kul att se din koll på våra ungdomar. Coutinho känns jävligt spännande för framtiden och en kille som Stevanovic från primaveran ska bli intressant att se framöver. Sen är ju Destro och Napoli väldigt intressanta.
