  1. » mental: [most important attributes we should be looking at incoming players]
    – has that GRINTA: constant hunger for winning battles
    – NON MOLLARE MAI: fighting spirit and believing until the end
    – concentration: always focused on the game
    – very ambitious: great work rate & determination
    – high football IQ: always knows what he has to do
    – anticipation: reads the game well in both phases (!)
    – always motivated & composed: looks strong and confident
    – quick decision making in both phases (!)
    – consistency: he keeps proving in Serie A that he`s not a crook/1 season wonder

    » defence:
    – often makes interceptions, breaking up opposition play
    – quick to win back the ball, especially in 1 vs 1 situations
    – excellent [clean] tackling skills, wins most duels
    – knows how to protect the ball, despite his short build
    – often forces opponents to foul him, frustrating them [triggering cards]
    – accurate heading skills, but he prefers to use his feet and play it tiki-taka
    – great decision making, knows exactly when to go for the tactical foul
    – rarely loses the ball

    » offence [like him being defensively sound would not be enough to sign him]:
    + deep lying playmaker: dictates tempo and channels of play
    + excellent passing success rate [high %]
    + vision in developing the attacking play
    + well executed long passes
    + quick in setting up the counter, capable of playing 1-2 touch
    + precise free kick ability both in crosses & shooting (!)
    + can beat his mEn with a short dribble

    Inter know that Torreira will cost no more than €25 million due to the release clause in his contract. They could look to take advantage of the good relationship they have with Sampdoria and try and bring the Uruguayan’s price down by inserting a young player in to the deal, similarly to how they acquired Milan Skriniar last summer using Gianluca Caprari in the deal.

    FORZA INTER!

  2. Great potential as a midfielder player. He’s strong, agile, smart, explosive and covers well the ball. I definitely want to see him in the WC
