Hakan Calhanoglu: "Andrea Pirlo my idol but I am one of the five best directors in the world"
Inter fantasist Hakan Calhanoglu è told his story in an interview with Dazn "Calha si gira", which offers an unfiltered look at him, from his entry into the team to his footballing inspiration and his distinctive style of play.
"Months ago I claimed to be among the top 5 directors in the world and no one believed me. But I believe in myself, I know my qualities and I am not afraid of anyone. Those goals I score, no one does. I don’t score goals from one meter, but from a distance, maybe from a free kick, I do difficult things".
Then the Nerazzurri midfielder talks about the pass to Dimarco during the derby d'Italia: "I will always try to make these passes on the pitch. I don't like to always play the ball backwards, I prefer to verticalize right away, play fast and try to exploit spaces. We have players who attack the depth and in this circumstance I immediately saw Dimarco, even before the ball got to me. These are actions we try in training, we know our qualities.
Finally, Calhanoglu extols Pirlo: "Pirlo è my idol, I know him well. I liked the way he played, his calm attitude on the field. He didn’t feel stress, I remember the spoon on Hart at Euro 2012. È my idol, number one".
