Kristjan Asllani had a very good match against Empoli on Sunday, where he also provided an assist in Inter's 3-1 victory.
On the "Pressing" show on "Canale 5", renowned Italian sports journalist Sandro Sabatini confronted all those who had criticized the Albanian midfielder during this period after the match, writes A2.
He emphasized that Asllani was not at the height of Çalhanoglu, but the same could be said for many others, as the Turk was a special footballer.
"I can say that Asllan is not Çalhanoglu, but no one in Europe is Çalhanoglu. And it's not Asllan's fault, it's Çalhanoglu's fault. So, also because I like to be on the side of the most criticized, can I say a word about Asllan? Because honestly, I found the massacre that was committed by Inter's own fans against Asllan to be unfair and inappropriate. Asllan, at least against Empoli, had a great match. And the same thing in Venice. Asllan is a good player. He is not Çalhanoglu. But it's not like the match with Bologna was needed to discover that Asllan is not Çalhanoglu," said the Italian journalist. (A2 Televizion)
