Piotr Zieliński shone in the first match for Inter Milan in the Champions League. Against Manchester City (0:0) he played 66 minutes and that was enough for him to enchant the football world. “He went through a baptism of fire, even if he already has a lot of experience. A few inaccuracies, but his rally brings back the feeling that he will be a perfect cog in Simone Inzaghi's machine,” Italian media were delighted.
After the match, the coach praised the Polish international. – He is a player of great quality. Together with the club's board, we really wanted him, we know what he can give us – said Inzaghi. – It was a good match and I am grateful to the coach for giving me the chance in such an important match – commented the player himself.
Piotr Zieliński showed what he can do in the Champions League match against Manchester City. Inter couldn't resist
One situation in particular involving a 30-year-old has had a wide resonance on the internet.”The Italians cut out one of Piotr Zieliński's actions to admire his technique, freedom and courage in a loop. The Pole's performance against Manchester City in the Champions League was not ideal, but it showed his potential and whetted the appetite for more” – wrote Dawid Szymczak from Sport.pl.
In that situation, the Pole, who was in his own penalty area, played one-touch with Alessandro Bastoni, then with his body balance he passed Rico Lewis and Savinho, then he passed Rodri and only with a foul (and a yellow card) did Ruben Dias stop him. It was so spectacular that even Inter bragged about the action on social media. “Piotr Zieliński, the embodiment of elegance” – they summed it up.
Fans delighted with what Piotr Zieliński did. These words speak for themselves
Several comments expressing admiration for the Polish representative appeared under the club's post. “Amazing”, “crazy”, “beautiful. Maybe he will become a real footballer with us” – write users of the X service.
Perhaps Piotr Zieliński will soon get another opportunity to show himself in a blockbuster match – on September 22, Inter will play the Milan derby.
